From Mid-Level to Major: Mapping the Journey
Your next major donor might already be giving I’ve seen so many mid-level donors quietly reading emails, showing up at events, and faithfully giving year after year, without ever being invited into a deeper conversation. When we finally slow down, notice their behavior, and map a simple journey from “thank you” to “tell me what matters most to you,” everything starts to change. Gifts grow, trust deepens, and fundraising feels more relational and less transactional. What if your best future major donor is already in your mid-level file, just waiting to be seen a little more personally? In this week’s episode of The Intentional Fundraiser, I talk about “From Mid-Level to Major: Mapping the Journey” and share practical steps you can take with your own donors Listen to the episode and share it with your team, your executive director, or a board member who cares about growing major gifts in a more intentional way.
