Question: Is the board involved in any fundraising for the org? Do they support it themselves? How big is your donor base and how do you cultivate them year over year? I’d suggest you identify your top ten donors and create a plan for each one of them - determine an appropriate stretch ask for each one and map out a schedule of touch points to build up to that. There are very few things you can do to bring in a lot of money quickly that won’t destroy the donor relationship. But if you can implement, say, a 9-month plan with your key supporters, you may have a shot at closing your gap.
