Fundraising Calculator
You’re in a hurry. You don’t have time to waste on fundraising methods that don’t give you the maximum results. So consider which fundraising methods you rely on now, and which ones will yield the greatest results quickest.
Time in -> Maximum money out
| Strategy | Response Rate | Face to face Ask | 50% |
| Personal Phone call | 25% |
| Personal letter | 10-15% |
| Phone-a-thon | 5% |
| Direct Mail | 1-2% |
| Grants | It Depends |
| Special events | (slowest, most stupid way, expensive!) |
However, as any stockbroker can tell you, diversity creates financial health! All of these together make a healthy nonprofit organization.
