Individual Giving & Donor Engagement

Individual giving is an essential part of your fundraising plan, but it can be a tough needle to move without the people, or the plan, to see it through consistently.

Has your development director recently moved on? Does it feel like you’re mailing appeal letters into a void? Are you worried about unreliable government funding?

If you're facing any of these challenges, know that Amplify is ready to“advise and do,” jumping in with both quick solutions and longer-term strategies that boost your organization’s individual giving.


How We AMPLIFY Your Individual Giving

  • Do you raise money at year end or on Give to the Max Day, but lack a year-long plan? Are you good at asking, but fall short on follow-up and cultivation? Amplify's integrated approach to fundraising and communications can help reverse donor attrition, attract new prospects, and engage supporters at all levels by creating a thriving system that builds trust and encourages giving. 

    How We Help 

    • Annual fund planning and implementation 

    • Community engagement planning and implementation 

    • Strategic communications planning and implementation 

    • Fundraising operations and processes: From audience segmentation to data management, we help you evaluate and equip effective teams and practices.   

    Beyond those basics, Amplify can also help with graphic design, organizational and program positioning, audience audits, and more.

  • If you don't have many major donors, finding them may seem like a bridge (or gift!) too far. But with a comprehensive analysis of your existing donor relationships and gift management processes, we can help you identify gaps and opportunities, create cultivation and engagement plans, and provide hands-on support. 

    How We Help 

    • Establish and activate a structured planned giving or major donor program. (See some tips on harnessing Donor Advised Funds (DAFs) here.)
