Why is major donor fundraising so important to churches?

- Churches will often need to diversify away from trusts & foundations to reach campaign targets
- Major donors are often a great way of leveraging further funds from other income sources

- Learn how to identify major donors already within your networks
- Learn how to find new major donors and know how best to approach these
