On-Sites for Staff

Get the fundamentals of Donor-Centered™ Fundraising brought directly to your door.

Donor-Centered™ Fundraising is the breakthrough strategy that enhances donor loyalty and inspires more generous gifts.  Based on seven years of research and testing with hundreds of charities and donors, Donor-Centered™ Fundraising is the only statistically-supported fundraising philosophy that brings donors and charities together to achieve measurable, long-term results.

Now, Cygnus brings the Donor-Centered™ approach direct to your organization in a pragmatic, interactive and forward-looking session that incorporates your own strategic needs and issues.  Whether a ninety minute introduction or a multi-day workshop, Cygnus can develop a training program specific to your organization. 

Customize your workshop for your priorities and your audience

On-site training in Donor-Centered™ Fundraising inspires the confidence and enthusiasm to transform your development operations inside the comfort of your organization.  All participants, no matter what their role or level of engagement with fundraising, will leave the session energized and with practical and pragmatic recommendations that they can begin implementing as soon as they return to the office. 

Because a Cygnus on-site workshop is customized for your organization, every on-site is different.  Whether you are in the middle of a capital campaign, interested in reinvigorating an existing fundraising program or just looking to education staff on the latest fundraising research and trends, our on-site sessions will specifically address your organizations needs, concerns and experience. 

A typical on-site workshop includes:

• Information on how findings from Donor-Centered™ Research affect your organization;
• Discussion of how typical fundraising practices limit generosity and drive donors away;
• Review of research findings in consideration of your current operations and strategic goals;
• Discussion of how communication is more powerful in building revenue than either solicitation or recognition;
• Transforming your existing development office to a Donor-Centered™ operation;
• Planning to adapt your current donor recognition program and introduce a new level of innovation to events and communication;
• Using Donor-Centered™ Fundraising to address your organization’s most pressing issues, needs and opportunities.
