Today's Episode:
Harvard University has 254 million-dollar-donors. Long before they gave their million, most of these donors did one thing. They gave a "test gift" of $100 or less!

Studies tell us that most first-time donors never give a second gift.

BUT, IF you can get them to give a second gift, the odds of their joining you in your mission with a third, fourth, and fifth, or million dollar gift SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASE.

Five Takeaways:

#1: Major donors will often test your mission, your systems, and you.
#2: A first-time gift is a prime indication of a donor's readiness to engage in relationship with your organization. 
#3: Failing to engage a first-time donor when giving their first gift can instigate any number of unintended messages
#4: Ignoring first-time gifts can demonstrate a culture of mediocrity. 
#5: Most pastors do not connect this extraordinary decision with the just as extraordinary spiritual opportunity.
