THE FRAMEWORK

Seven Steps. One Transformational Journey.

The 20 Gift Campaign framework guides you from clarity to lasting legacy;

helping you inspire deeper relationships, unlock extraordinary generosity,

and create transformational impact.

Clarify the Vision

Inspire with a compelling, transformational vision.

Great campaigns begin with a clear, compelling vision of the future your donors want to create. When people see and believe in the vision, they want to be part of it.

Build Deep Relationships

Relationships come before requests.

Transformational gifts are born from trust, credibility, and genuine connection. Invest in people. Listen deeply. Earn the right to invite.

Discover Transformational Potential

Identify the intersection of passion and purpose.

Allow donors to align their values, passion, and resources to create extraordinary impact. Give them a seat at the table when planning your future.

Design the Gift Strategy

Craft a plan tailored to each donor's potential.

Develop a personalized strategy that allows the donor to connect the dots between their values and your problem solving efforts.

Make the Transformational Ask

Invite with confidence and clarity.

Communicate the need, the vision, and the opportunity with conviction and inspiration. Make the ask that transforms their dreams into reality.

Steward the Relationship

Honor the gift and the giver.

Stewardship never ends during the life of the donor. Report impact, share stories, and continue to invest in the relationship.

Multiply Impact and Legacy

Turn gifts into growing, generational impact.

Transformational gifts are not just for today. They build capacity, inspire others, and create legacies that last for generations.

WHY 20 GIFTS

Twenty is large enough to create extraordinary possibilities, but small enough for the CEO, board, and development team to know each philanthropist personally and approach them with trust.
