This article debunks myths, highlights the power of named funds, and provides actionable steps to secure lasting gifts. Discover how to transform your nonprofit’s future.

Moves management is a systematic approach to converting casual donors into major contributors by tracking and planning every interaction. The process involves four key stages: identification (prospect research), cultivation (relationship building), solicitation (making the ask), and stewardship (maintaining engagement). Organizations need a robust CRM system to track donor interactions and progress through each stage. Success requires clear revenue targets, team alignment, and regular performance monitoring. When properly implemented, moves management creates sustainable donor relationships and predictable fundraising outcomes.
