Hey!
I'm David. I've been in the fundraising space since I was a teen.
My Minor-Touches-Major-Impact fundraising method has resulted in millions of dollars being raised.
Want to know exactly why it works?
Well, simply: It's based on not doing the things that most fundraisers do.
-
A never-ending calendar of fundraising events
-
Trying to inspire donors by constantly talking about what you do
-
Incessantly posting to social media
Instead, the secret to success in fundraising is about becoming something I call a "Visionary" fundraiser.
Someone who uses the power of storytelling and excellently timed thank you's.
Someone who understands what it means to be compelling.
And when you understand the secrets of being a compelling visionary...
You no longer have to chase money, you attract it!
Forget putting on some sales persona to get donations.
No more begging and pleading for money.
And forget living in the futile cycle of fundraising events, sales, and gimmicks just getting enough money to barely survive.
But creating a compelling vision isn’t as simple as just telling a story and sticking it on a GoFundMe page…
That’s why I’d like to share with you my 6-step strategy designed to help release the gracious and storytelling visionary in you and stop chasing money and start attracting it!
"Visionary Fundraising" shows you how to escape the fear of fundraising and start using your visionary super-powers of storytelling and saying thank you, all the way to the bank.
You’ll learn:
-
Why being visionary is the one super-power all over-the-top fundraisers master
-
How this visionary capacity is the 20% of what you do that will bring you 80% of your impact
-
The number one tool visionaries use to attract resources
-
The little known rule used for centuries to overcome being ignored
-
The two kinds of stories visionary fundraisers use and when to use them
-
The six steps I have used to help visionaries raise millions
Use Visionary Fundraising to change the way you approach fundraising from the first chapters. Read it again and again and keep it as a resource to stop chasing money and begin attracting it.
Taking an annual vacation shouldn't be a luxury.
A date with your spouse every Friday night, health care, insurance & retirement ought to be a given.
Your staff deserves a living wage.
You deserve more than minimum wage.
How is it that some leaders see an injustice or problem in the world, dream of it being fixed, and share that dream in such a way that people enthusiastically empty their treasure chests to make it happen?
How do fundraisers take donors from an initial gift of less than $100 to six, seven, and eight-figure gifts?
And how do those same fundraisers get a chunk of those same donors’ estates when they pass?
The answer has to do with their power to be visionary.
THE ONE SUPERPOWER ALL OVER-THE-TOP FUNDRAISERS MASTER IS THE ART OF BEING VISIONARY.
In my book you will learn all the steps in my fundraising method, but first let me tell you, the visionary ability is the one superpower to focus on that will unlock and connect everything taught in this book.
All fundraisers who get fully funded and become world-changers grapple with and master what it means to be visionary. Some do it more naturally than others but it is a skill that you can and must understand and harness.
By far, being visionary is the one thing, more than anything else, that will propel you into your destiny.

Getting That Elusive Second Gift by Writing Better Thank You's
Studies tell us that out of 100 first-time donors your nonprofit will get this year, only 19 will remain to ever give a second gift.
Confident fundraisers who get that elusive second gift are on the downhill slide! Statistically, the second gift is the beginning of a long and generous relationship with your donor. But getting it can be elusive!
Saying thank you excellently is a large part of that winning strategy. A donor who receives an excellently written thank you within 48 hours of her/his gift is 4 times more likely to give a second gift.
Through the years I have collected great thank-you notes. When a thank-you made an impression on me or impacted me, I saved it. Today, I study thank-you's and try to understand why some move me and others don't.
To help you, I have put together this training to help you write more excellent thank-you's that result in better relationships with your donors, which in turn, results in more money for your cause.
Saying thank-you is not a skill any of us are born with. Like any other skill, it has to be learned. Use this simple asset to train others to help you get those elusive second gifts.

Always wanting to help the underdog, David Oaks became a pastor. A financially strapped pastor. It was then that he learned that the poorest way to help the poor is to be poor!
Early on, he realized that not much good happens in the world without the money to make it happen.
This started him out on a life-long journey to learn how visionaries get the money they need to change the world. Leading a church that grew explosively, he needed and learned to raise millions.
Now, at 63 years old, having parented his own two children and many more, he spends his life helping nonprofit fundraisers change the world.
David leads his own organization, Bethlehem International School Foundation and serves on multiple other nonprofit boards. He lives in Thomasville, Georgia with Anne, his wife of 38 years.

When visionaries don't get the money they need, the world suffers.
My honest assessment is that most visionaries don’t get the money they need. It breaks my heart. I am sure you have noticed this, right?
The goal of my book is to help you become visionary and get the money you need to change the world.
Are you ready to get started? Can you see yourself having fun being visionary, saying thank you, and telling stories all the way to the bank?
To do that I wrote a book around my framework to help you understand three things:
1. Attracting money is much easier than chasing it. When you understand what is attractive and what is unattractive to donors, you become visionary.
2. The power of an excellently said thank you and storytelling. Saying thank you excellently and telling the right stories at the right time will inspire donors to cheerfully blow up your bank account!
3. The best method to exponentially multiply your fundraising income is the one you will find in this book (which my students use to multiply their income monthly). I call it The Minor Touches Major Impact Fundraising Method.
