Why Get a Fundraising Coach?
If you’re looking to raise more money this year, you might want to consider hiring a fundraising coach.
Nonprofit leaders don't have time to study fundraising.

-
Social media
-
Websites
-
Getting new donors
-
Keeping old donors
-

David has given me the tools to boost donor giving by 100% over the previous year! I truly believe that this is only a start. In addition, David genuinely cares about me and the ministry we provide to the leg disabled of Kenya. I made a very smart choice in engaging David Oaks as my coach.

We raised more money in our first one month campaign than we raised in the entire year prior to working with David. We are extremely grateful for the results and having the opportunity to improve our knowledge on the best practices in fundraising

The Six-Step Minor Touches Major Impact Process
01
Become the Attractive Expert: Become a Voice Amplifier
Fundraisers serve as advocates for marginalized voices. Through storytelling, we elevate their voices to the world that hears us. This helps potential donors understand, learn, and see the world through their eyes.
02
Establish Your Compelling Vision: Visionaries Get More Money Than Missionaries
Most fundraisers and missionaries talk about what they do and what they do is not compelling. What you do in your mission is likely boring. However, what you hope to achieve is compelling.
03
Establish Your Platform: Without Legitimacy, All You Get Are Tips
Your platform is the thing you stand up on to be heard. In today’s digital world, this is a website. Without your own website potential donors will not consider you legitimate. A simple website that outlines your compelling vision and how you intend to achieve it gives you legitimacy.
04
Establish Your Donor's Journey: The Journey Matters More Than the Destination
Before a person gives, fundraisers should map out a step-by-step plan for inspiring donors into involvement.
05
Establish Your Relationships: We Is More Important Than Me
Your success as a visionary fundraiser is determined by the people gathered around you. Never fundraise alone. Establish the teams that make fundraising easy.
05
Ask Boldly: You Have Not Because You Ask Not
The number one reason that people don't give to your mission is they haven't been asked the right way. The right preparation drives confidence.
Less than a month later, we had more than 5 times the amount we invested in his services in our bank account! You would do well to get David on your team!

The smartest man in the world compared chasing money to chasing birds:
Don't exhaust yourself acquiring wealth; be smart enough to stop.
When you fix your gaze on it, it's gone, for it sprouts wings for itself and flies to the sky like an eagle.
Proverbs of Solomon, 23:4-5
You don't chase birds; you attract them.
You don't chase money; you attract it.
Visionary Fundraising: Stop Chasing & Start Attracting the Money You Need
Because of his guidance, we became confident and were able to increase the amount of money we raised by 40%. There is just something about the way he interacts with us that makes us feel like family rather than a client.

David is an amazing coach. With his help last year, our donations went up 200%. 100% FACT. This year he has inspired us to care for our donors and raise our monthly giving. He is a gem and worth your time to follow!
