The Influential Nonprofit

Morgan Gross: International Fundraising

Episode Summary

Morgan Gross, CEO & Founder of Fundraising Beyond Borders, is an international fundraising consultant and coach dedicated to empowering nonprofits to achieve their fundraising goals and expand their impact globally. Morgan provides strategic services such as fractional fundraising, custom fundraising plans, and personalized 1:1 fundraising coaching. Key Takeaways: Fundraising for international nonprofits is more challenging due to a lack of donors' understanding, requiring greater storytelling efforts, transparency, and online presence to build trust. An online presence builds awareness and interest but requires a physical connection to deepen donor relationships; e.g., inviting donors behind-the-scenes, exclusive tours, and events for engagement. Virtual events and behind-the-scenes experiences strengthen donor relationships and stewardship creatively without in-person visits. Building meaningful relationships takes time; start on social media, establish mutual partnerships through conversations, identify supporters' preferred ways of contributing, and leverage connections abroad to expand reach. Fractional fundraising service provides experienced fundraisers for part-time to nonprofits by assessing needs, clarifying three main revenue-generating activities, strategizing a 12-month plan, and implementing it. “We have to be able to slow down our storytelling process and really explain to somebody what a beneficiary is going through, or what a behind-the-scenes looks like, or what every day looks like for your nonprofit.” “It's really important to know that a supporter doesn't mean necessarily a financial supporter. Support can look like so many different ways. It can be a volunteer, it can be a donor, it can be somebody who comes abroad and supports you. It can be that they're sharing your posts on social media.” “How can you also in your impact reports, show exactly where that dollar is going because a potential donor is going to be able to see exactly that journey.” - Morgan Gross Receive fundraising Tips by clicking on this link: https://fundraisingbeyondborders.ck.page/newsletter Reach out to Morgan Gross at: Website: www.fundraisingbeyondborders.com Facebook: https://web.facebook.com/peerfectfundraising Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fundraisingbeyondborders/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/morgan-domijan/, https://www.linkedin.com/company/fundraising-beyond-borders/ Podcast Spotify: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/fundraising-beyond-border Podcast Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/fundraising-beyond-borders-podcast/id1762613551 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@fundraisingbeyondborders YouTube: @fundraisingbeyondborders Ask for and receive all you want, need and deserve without feeling rejected, ineffective, or pushy.
