To My Fellow Nonprofit Executives, Donors & Volunteers,
Have you ever wondered if performing a feasibility study is a wise investment of your organization's time and money?
Did you know that 80% of feasibility study results are inconclusive or report that......YOU'RE NOT READY FOR CAMPAIGN!
Why then do nonprofits pay $25,000 to $50,000 to find out what they already know?
There are several answers but here's the three most important ones...
#1 Consulting firms primary source of revenue is based on a flawed and archaic business model that requires you to pay for a service you aren't ready for and may never need
#2 Nonprofits would rather avoid the hard work of donor cultivation by paying an out-of-town third party to perform the visits they should really be doing themselves
#3 "That's they way we've always done it" (or even worse) "that's the way other nonprofits do it"There's also a moral issue at play here. All to often feasibility study results are misrepresented because the consulting firm performing the study stands to make more money by running the campaign after the study process has been completed. Tragically, there are hundreds of nonprofits in the middle of stalled campaigns because their consultant manipulated leadership into believing a goal could be reached that was never achievable.
If your team is considering expanding annual fund, launching a capital campaign or building endowment then you'll want to spend some time exploring these important issues at a Major Gifts Ramp-Up Conference. Over 9,000 of your colleagues have already taken this important step and have not only avoided critical mistakes but have launched fundraising projects that...
…come in OVER GOAL
…are completed ON SCHEDULE
…are executed UNDER BUDGET
…result in HAPPY VOLUNTEERS
…produce GRATEFUL DONORS
…promote COMMUNITY PRIDE
We look forward to meeting you personally at one of our upcoming Major Gifts Ramp-Up Event. We know that budgets are tight which is why NDI's Board of Directors is making this two-day offering available for only $98 for one person or $198 for your entire team(unlimited registrations).I look forward to hearing from you. 
Until then I remain,
Sincerely Yours,
Jimmy LaRose
