Donor Communications Expert with Obsessive Focus on Individual Giving, Donor Relations, Nonprofit Storytelling...and Dogs
Funding Change founder Tina Cincotti is a donor communications expert with a passion for social change. She provides small-to-medium sized nonprofits with the skills, tools, data, perspective, and confidence they need to develop stronger relationships with supporters, improve donor retention, and increase revenue.
Funding Change partners with nonprofits in several key areas:
CASES for Support:
Stop telling your donors the story you want to tell; start telling them the story they need to hear. Stop talking about the work of your organization; start talking about the hopes and dreams of your donors. That’s how you make your case for support. Are you ready?
DIRECT Response Campaigns
Direct mail isn’t dead. Though a lot of what I see in my mailbox does bore me to death. Don’t let that be you… Let’s create a kick-ass campaign with an offer too good to resist!
DONOR Stewardship Materials
“Thank you” letters to inspire smiles from ear to ear… Packets to welcome new supporters… Newsletters and annual reports to showcase everything your donors made possible… Survey packages to solicit feedback… And those are just the basics.
COMMUNICATIONS Audits
Want to know if your fundraising materials are any good? After my audit, you’ll know! But be prepared, most everything I see misses the mark. But I can tell you how to fix it.
DATA Analysis & DEVELOPMENT Assessments
Do you know how healthy your fundraising program really is? Do you want an audit of your donor communications materials, an analysis of your fundraising data, and an evaluation of the strategy, staffing, and infrastructure of your development program? Let this fundraising nerd dig into your data and tell you the whole story.
