Annual Giving Architecture

The annual giving program is the lifeblood of any charity. It funds the organization’s general operations and the specific programs that make a difference in the community on a day-to-day basis. It is essential that the annual giving program be robust enough to cover not only the annual operating costs, but that there be a surplus to cover standard capital costs and any unexpected expenses.

Inspire has many creative tactics, techniques and tools that can be integrated into an annual giving program that is customized to your specific needs. We can build a program from top to bottom or we can design one that augments a program that you already have in place. Within every annual giving program, we create a means to migrate annual donors to a higher level of giving over time.

Another reason why it is essential to have a strong annual giving program is that it becomes the foundation from which we build capital campaigns. We look to existing donors to continue their annual giving while, at the same time, being the first to contribute substantial amounts to a capital campaign.
