Mail right back at you! ;)
From Jim Robinson — think about it, please.
A post I made several days ago about why monthlies are important:
If we could get our monthly figure over $15,000 then they would represent $45,000 total for the quarter. That’s over half of our goal.
If my math is correct, with $15,000 in monthlies, we could possibly be ending our fundraisers in under 30-40 days every quarter.
If we have a new fundraiser starting with a goal of $88,000 and it gets to about $30,000 (in three weeks or so) we could accrue the $45,000 in monthlies and our new total would be $75,000 and there’d be only about $13,000 left to go.
With a big push we could probably raise that in a week to ten days and we’re done.
In other words, at $15,000 per month in monthlies, our fundraisers would complete in half the time they take now.
If we could get to $20,000 per month in monthlies they’d probably take less than three weeks to complete.
If we could get to $30,000 per month in reliable monthlies, we wouldn’t need fundraisers at all.
Currently, we have about 630 monthlies totaling approx $11,000 per month or about $17.50 per monthly donation.
To get to $15,000 in monthlies we’d need to keep those we have and add about 225 New Monthly Donors at about the same average.
A lofty goal, perhaps, but doable.
