Simple Development Systems

Fundraising is Scary…Even in the Best of Times

Training thousands of smart nonprofits just like you, from across the world…

And now, in the middle of a global pandemic and unrest, fundraising can seem next to impossible.

But what if I told you that the secrets to raising all the money you need this year are contained in this simple formula?

I call it the Ask, Thank, Report, and Repeat model.

And it’s the formula you’ll find within the pages of my book, Simple Development Systems.

Imagine what it would be like to to have the systems in place that would allow you to raise money easily…

You could add a new program, serve more individuals…and even hire additional staff!

All without constantly “trying” new ideas or pouring hours of time and energy into nickel and dime fundraising (Amazon Smile, anyone?) that barely bring in any money.

What Our Students Say

I am so excited to say that after our coaching session, I was able to have an open and honest conversation with my ED. I advocated for a grant-writing consultant to come on so that I can spend more time loving our donors, and got the green light to co-create a plan to promote a culture of philanthropy that engages our Board and staff. Plus — I got a raise and a promotion! Thank you for everything, Pamela!

Carina Baker, LMSW Development Associate

I am thankful for all the amazing trainings I’ve done with you over the years and the incredible resources you’ve put together for small non-profits like ours. Your dedication to our sector is such a gift and has transformed many lives.

I am really loving your POTY course, and finding it so useful. Thank you so much. It has such great material. I am busy re-writing our online thank you letters. Our physical letters are great, handwritten etc., but our email ones were bad. I had never even checked them! I took your great advice, and gave ourselves a donation, and saw what happened. One system had a good thank you, the other didn’t. Thank you so much for making us think about this. It is so good to study something and instantly be able to make changes.

Gill Drakeford-Lewis, Community Outreach Coordinator, Hope for the Nations

I have thoroughly enjoyed and greatly benefited from all of the valuable classes you have offered! You are an amazing support for small nonprofits and I share your website with other nonprofit friends that I meet.

Last fiscal year we had our best year ever. We reached out to lapsed donors and also segmented the database for our annual appeal. The result was a 15% increase in the number of supporters (I currently prefer the word ‘supporter’ to ‘donor’) who gave to our organization.

Pamela, thank you for everything you do.

This is a great course for both novices and old hat fundraisers. Pam brings in the top fundraisers of the day and even if you’ve been fundraising for a long time they will give you new ideas to add to your repertoire. The techniques you will learn will help you not only in your year-end but all year round. I highly recommend this course for anyone who wants to have the opportunity to learn from the best in a condensed and cost-effective way.

Emily Hewes, Development Director, CEPAD USA

We hit our Year-End fundraising goal and still have 2 weeks left! We implemented everything we learned in the webinars. Feeling so proud — best $250 ever spent!

I’m so ready to go through this course again as it is terrifically timely. I love how the Basics & More™ courses are organized. I always learn and I never feel patronized. I so appreciate you for that, Of course, the knowledge you share is terrific and I love that I can immediately put it into practice.
