Assessment of your Eye BankWhat differentiates your eye bank from
other eye banks?
What differentiates your eye bank for other non profits in the communities you serve?
Do you spend more time explaining what an eye bank IS vs. what makes it SPECIAL?

Assessment of your Eye-Bank Do you have an elevator speech?
Does your elevator speech include your need for public funding and how it will be utilized?
Does your entire staff, board and volunteers understand the public funding needs?
Can and do employees, board and volunteers articulate the need on a regular basis?
Do they believe it?

Contributor sophistication – more knowledgeable = tougher questions
Contributors are more selectiveNo shortage of good causes So many ways to give and to ask Board members with time and talent Corporate philanthropy – “an oxymoron”

Fundamentals for Individual Giving/Major Gift Success
1. Case for Support/Investment – Your “Product”
2. Team Selling – everyone is in sales
3. Qualified prospects -
Capacity, Propensity, Interest/Relevancy
4. Securing a face to face visit/meeting
THE MOST DIFFICULT CHALLENGE OF ALL

THE BEST PART OF DEVELOPMENT
6. Follow-up is key
