Meet the Founder
Hello! Thank you for stopping by my site. I'm Dan, the founder of C3 Cultivation LLC. I focus specifically on training Christian ministry leaders on how to implement a proven fundraising system and create a steady source of revenue growth. With more than a decade of fundraising experience and 15 years of coaching under my belt, I'll give you a practical and sustainable setup to transform your fundraising efforts and ensure your church or non-profit can have a long-lasting impact.
MODULE ONE
Fundamentals of Relationship-Driven Fundraising
OUTCOME
Understand the core principles of relationship-driven fundraising.
DESCRIPTION
This module lays the foundation for why relationship-driven fundraising is important, what cultivation is (and is not), and will show you how to focus on what matters most when it comes to building a sustainable fundraising program for your ministry.
MODULE TWO
Identifying and Finding New Donors
OUTCOME
Create a strategy to find and engage new potential donors.
DESCRIPTION
Master the art of identifying potential donors who are passionate about your ministry's mission, then discover how to effectively engage with them.
MODULE THREE
Developing Your Fundraising Plan
OUTCOME
Have a concrete, actionable fundraising plan tailored to your ministry's needs.
DESCRIPTION
You'll learn how to create a year-long donor engagement plan tailored specifically for your ministry, with achievable goals that ensure success and fit your organization’s capacity.
MODULE FOUR
Crafting Compelling Communications
OUTCOME
Learn how to engage your donors effectively—including what to avoid when communicating with them.
DESCRIPTION
Now that you have your plan, you need to implement it! In relationship-based fundraising, the donor is the hero. This session covers how to connect with donors using a combination of emotion and facts. You’ll also learn how to repurpose the same message for different donor audiences to save time yet engage everyone who gives to your mission.
MODULE FIVE
Building a Partnership Culture
OUTCOME
Dramatically increase donor retention and create a culture of gratitude.
DESCRIPTION
On average, for every two new donors you get this year, one will walk away next year. By implementing simple but proven processes, your donors will know they are appreciated—and will stick around to become long-lasting donor partners.
MODULE SIX
Making Sure New Donors Don’t Leave
OUTCOME
Make it easy for new donors to become repeat donors.
DESCRIPTION
New donors are the most at risk, with 4 of 5 new donors walking out the door and never giving again. This group needs extra attention to make sure they not only stay connected to your ministry but want to increase their giving in year two.
MODULE SEVEN
Delighting Your Donors
OUTCOME
Implement creative and cost-effective ways to surprise and delight your major donors.
DESCRIPTION
Major donors—those who give substantial gifts to fund your ministry—are critical to the long-term financial health of your organization. While many of these partners do not seek recognition, there are ways to express your gratitude that will draw them even closer to the heart of your mission.
MODULE EIGHT
Monitoring and Measuring Success
OUTCOME
Know what metrics to use to assess your fundraising efforts and focus on what matters most.
DESCRIPTION
Set and track key performance indicators to help you discover whether your fundraising efforts are on track or off track, allowing you to make timely adjustments and improvements and ensuring your ministry continues to thrive and impact lives for years to come.
