Ultra-Narrow Ops for Sub-$1M Shops: Start With Existing Contacts

View show details

In this episode of Nonprofit Fundraising, we zero in on ultra-narrow operations tailored for sub-$1M nonprofits. Small teams often waste early momentum on scattered tactics that drain limited time and budgets. Instead, Sterling outlines a focused weekly rhythm: gather existing contacts into one list, note what drew each person in, then send brief personal notes to the five most approachable supporters. Track every interaction in a simple spreadsheet and review notes every Friday to spot patterns and plan the next small ask. These steps build steady progress without new staff or systems.

Key takeaways:
- Start only with people already connected to your mission
- Keep asks tiny and personal to earn quick replies
- Use calendar mentions and consistent follow-ups to create habits
- Review weekly to refine what works

This approach turns loose contacts into reliable small gifts within weeks.
