Your best fundraiser lights up in donor meetings and has zero interest in managing a team.

So what's their next step?

If management is the only way up at your org, they may not have one. Wanting to stay donor-facing is fine. Your structure is what needs a second look.

The good news? A real growth track doesn't have to mean a bigger title. It's usually built from a mix of four things.

Does your board hear about campaign challenges firsthand, or secondhand and late?

The strongest boards ask for the unfiltered version regularly, and they ask with curiosity instead of blame. That matters, because a board can tell when leadership is managing the story instead of managing the campaign.

"What's actually happening here?" gets a very different answer than "Who let this happen?"

When was the last time someone on your team said "we're behind" before the year-end report did?

If your team is only high-performing on paper, people put their heads down and say nothing. If it's high-performing in practice, someone names the problem early, while there's still time to fix it.

That's not a weaker team. It's a stronger one.

Families travel from all 50 states and 80 countries for care at St. Louis Children's Hospital. Now its Foundation is asking the community to help fund what's next.

For more than 140 years, the hospital has provided pediatric care as part of BJC Health, one of the largest nonprofit health systems in the country. Today it's ranked Missouri's No. 1 children's hospital, serving more than 270,000 children each year.

In January, the hospital's Foundation launched the public phase of its "I Am Proof" campaign. The eight-year, $400 million effort will advance pediatric research through WashU Medicine, expand community programs like Healthy Kids Express, and open spaces like the Center for Families for parents and patients. The effort has already raised more than $335 million toward that goal.

Gail Perry Group served as campaign counsel at the onset of this effort, providing major gift strategy, helping shape elements of a growth plan, and training development officers and board members.

Congratulations to the entire St. Louis Children's Hospital Foundation team on this milestone.

Would you rather have a donor with deep pockets, or one who actually believes in your mission?

It's an easy trap. Capacity is simple to measure, so it's often where nonprofits start.

In a NonProfit PRO feature, our VP of Client Service, Gina Vaughn, explains why that instinct gets the sequence backwards. Money without affinity isn't a real prospect. It's a guess.

Thank you to the Association of Fundraising Professionals (AFP) for featuring us in their newsletter!

AFP shared our article on what a capital campaign feasibility study actually reveals, and we think this framing matters: a feasibility study isn't a verdict. It's a strategy session.

If your organization has ever put a campaign on hold after a feasibility study, read this. It might change how you see what you learned.

Consistent fundraiser behaviors: Facilitate with deep knowledge, keep trust at the fore, and stay curious.

While these are practiced over a lifetime, we encourage you to focus on ONE of the below attributes this fall. Here's how to focus your efforts:

Rate yourself 1 to 5 on each, honestly, not aspirationally.

- You facilitate, don't sell. You listen more than you talk. The donor leads. You structure.
- You know three things about every donor. Giving range. Values. Timing.
- You have a real system for donors who aren't ready yet.
- You use questions, not pitches. Your meetings run on curiosity.
- You manage volunteers like donors. Trust, specificity, follow-up, every time.
- You are always prepared for the gift conversation should a donor bring it up. Objectives and a real number, set before you walk in.

Where did you scored lowest? That's where you focus over the next three months.

And remember that you don't have to do this alone. Registration for our Major Gifts Officer Bootcamp, a 12-week live training program, closes this Friday. The Fall 2026 cohort starts September 16.
