Eskin Fundraising Training hosted NANOE President, Louis Fawcett. This week’s topic MAJOR GIFTS RAMP-UP.

The Major Gifts Ramp-Up (MGRU) model is a comprehensive fundraising strategy designed to help nonprofits significantly increase their revenue by securing large donations from major donors. It is particularly aimed at organizations looking to revitalize or expand their fundraising efforts. The model emphasizes building long-term relationships with donors and utilizes modern communication and data-mining technologies to optimize donor engagement.

The core principles of MGRU focus on treating donors as the nonprofit’s primary clients and reordering traditional fundraising methods to be more effective. It is a scalable model, suitable for organizations of all sizes, from small nonprofits with limited staff to large entities with complex operations. One of the key features of the model is the “Major Gifts Ramp-Up Cloud,” a digital resource platform providing organizations with tools such as manuals, presentations, and training modules to implement the strategy successfully​ (Major Gifts Ramp-Up)

A standout aspect of the MGRU model is its flexibility and its ability to transform a nonprofit’s culture by focusing on major gifts as a core revenue stream. The model stresses the importance of leadership, with strong executive directors being essential to driving this approach. The MGRU model also highlights the need for a compelling case for support, a clear long-term plan, and strategic board involvement​ (InsideCharity.org).

This approach is often seen as a game-changer for nonprofits, allowing them to grow their donor base, build financial resilience, and generate sustainable income through high-value contributions.The Major Gifts Ramp-Up (MGRU) model is a comprehensive fundraising strategy designed to help nonprofits significantly increase their revenue by securing large donations from major donors.
