What's the Secret to Fundraising Success?

It's all in what you say and how you say it.

         Congratulations! After years of dreaming, planning and careful organization, you finally formed your nonprofit organization.

         You established your board, you have a mission, you even have volunteers ready to get to work on your goals. You’re finally ready to make a real difference in people’s lives.

         There’s just one problem. You need support! Now!

         But how to get it? How to get it without blowing your bottom line? And how can you be heard about the chorus of things competing for people’s money?

         It's simple, really. Just give your potential supporters what they want—inspiring, effective stories and fundraising materials.

To raise support and keep your name in the public ear, your nonprofit will need quality writing.

         As a nonprofit, you keep your costs at a minimum. But to gain support and retain your donors, you’re going to need powerful, effective public relations and fundraising materials.

         Well-written, results-driven fundraising and marketing materials are the most effective, affordable and versatile way to raise support for you nonprofit.

         Successful, long-lasting nonprofits have learned that spending a little on quality marketing can generate a lot in return.

Your organization's written materials are its lifeline to critical support.

         How are new donors going to find you? How are current donors going to stay informed and engaged? Unless you can afford a battery of TV ads, they're going to learn about your group by reading about it.

         From direct mail, to your newsletter, to newspaper articles and the content on your Web site, your written materials will be the central medium through which you'll connect with the public and build your support base. That means it's critical they convey the message you want readers to hear.

         Your fundraising materials must:

• Immediately capture your reader’s attention
  
  
• Educate and inform
  
  
• Make a connection with your audience
  
• Answer their questions
  
  
• Be clear and concise
  
  
• Inspire your reader
  
  
• Clearly call them to action

If you lack the experience, skill and/or time to create the fundraising materials you need to raise support, let the experienced professionals Hired Gun Writing help. We'll make sure your message is clear and effective, and all for far less cost than you'd think.

I can write pretty well. Do I really need to hire a professional writer?

         If you want professional results—yes.

         Effective fundraising is about writing to get results. It’s critical to the success of your mission, but takes practice and special skill.

         In-house staff often lack the time or resources to write marketable, readable fundraising and PR materials that can generate solid support.

         When you invest in a professional writer, you're bringing someone on board who knows how to create materials that get results.

         You also avoid paying for in-house employee costs. Outsourcing your writing means you’ll hire a writer on contract—for a set fee you establish up front. That means no salary, benefits or other employee costs. Just the service you need for a price you can afford.
