Advocace Unlocks Major Donors for Your Station

Today, donors are giving more dollars to fewer organizations. So is your station in the Fave Five of your top donors?

Listener-powered, Christian-formatted radio stations are increasingly adding major donor income as a priority for their fundraising mix. That is why more station leadership teams are asking Advocace Media to help initiate and grow funding for major donors. As a result, donors are making frequent gifts to fund station projects and providing critical investments in the station's program and infrastructure.

Getting started with major donors

With the opportunity for major donor funding, station leadership usually asks:

• “Where should our major giving program begin?”
• “How should we define major giving?”
• “Is our station ready to undertake a major giving program?”
• “Who will help us?”
