Annual, Major, and Planned Giving

Build Stronger Donor Relationships and More Sustainable Fundraising Revenue

Healthy fundraising programs do not happen by accident. Growth starts with strong relationships, clear communication, and a plan that fits your organization. From the annual fund to major gifts to legacy giving, each part of your program supports long-term nonprofit success.

Empreinte Consulting helps nonprofits strengthen annual giving, grow major giving, and build planned giving strategies that support lasting mission impact. We help connect these efforts so they work together and support a stronger overall giving strategy.

With the right donor engagement, donor outreach, and fundraising planning, nonprofits can build trust, strengthen donor relations, and create more sustainable revenue over time.

Our Approach

A Connected Strategy for Every Stage of Giving

Empreinte brings a practical, relationship-focused approach to fundraising. We help nonprofit teams build giving programs that reflect their mission, donor base, internal capacity, and long-term goals.

Strengthen Annual Giving

We help improve annual giving through segmentation, appeals, monthly giving, year-end giving, stewardship, and retention strategies that strengthen donor loyalty and recurring support.

Grow Major Gifts

We support major giving through prospect strategy, donor cultivation, relationship mapping, and personalized engagement that helps move donors toward deeper investment.

Build Planned Giving

We help organizations develop planned giving and gift planning strategies through legacy messaging, donor education, and legacy program development that encourages long-term commitments.

Connect the Strategy

We look at how these efforts work together — from donor pipeline development to donor communications and donor stewardship — so your fundraising program becomes stronger, more coordinated, and more sustainable.

Together, these strategies help create a more connected giving program that strengthens donor relationships and supports long-term fundraising success.
