Major Gifts Ramp-Up for United Way Programs is a Live Online Financial Capacity-Building Conference and includes local United Way CEOs who will challenge everything you believe about the raising of money.

Are you starting a major gifts program from scratch? Well, maybe not! One of the distinct advantages you enjoy as a United Way Affiliate is the elegance of the Alexis de Tocqueville Society. Hear from your colleagues who've raised $200,000, $300,000 even $500,000 in one evening by properly introducing their Tocqueville Program to a brand new group of millionaires for the very first time.

How? You might ask!

First, Major Gifts Ramp-Up is a proprietary major gifts fundraising model that supercharges your Tocqueville program to raise multi-year $10,000 gifts in the shortest period of time possible. Second, MGRU supplies you the names and contact information of every millionaire household within your service area who can give a 5, 6 or 7 figure gift. Third, you'll review hundreds of custom designed collateral documents developed by your fellow local UW colleagues used to grow ADT membership.

Maybe you already have Tocqueville Members. If so you won't want to miss hearing how one local UW CEO went from twenty annual ADT donors to 55 in just 12 months using Major Gifts Ramp-Up. You see, Major Gifts Ramp-Up has been deployed by local United Way programs for decades. Your colleagues have already proven that Toqueville Society is a jewel in the crown of the communities you serve.

Join us to raise the hundreds of thousands dollars you need to accomplish your important mission. REGISTER TODAY for an upcoming MGRU Event for United Way Programs.

These events will ensure you RE-IMAGINE PHILANTHROPY in a way that transforms both you and the organization you serve. Tuition for a conference of this magnitude would normally run upwards of $800 per person. National Development Institute understands that Local United Way budgets are tight and are making this two-day offering available for only $248 for one person or $498 for UNLIMITED REGISTRATIONS for every member of your team. Seating for this event is limited and will reach capacity shortly. PLEASE REGISTER TODAY!

I’ve spent the last week receiving email messages, phone calls and personal visits thanking me for bringing Major Gifts Ramp-Up to Macon. Our agencies LOVED IT! This spectacular 2-day capacity-building conference was daring, confrontational and exactly what our organizations needed in the way of training. Conventional methods of management and fundraising were challenged with humor and insight. Their expert faculty engaged our grantees and inspired them to grow revenues in new ways that work. Prepare for significant change if you give your community the gift of MGRU. Feel free to call me with your questions!”

George McCanless, CEO

United Way of Central Georgia

Having served nonprofits for the past 40 years, I thought I'd seen everything! Then I attended Major Gifts Ramp-Up New York and experienced MGRU faculty's brilliant performance. Their unbounded enthusiasm, comic timing, exceptional sense of theater and insights into nonprofit management will change the way you view yourself and the raising of big gifts. This conference is a must-see, especially for those who think they’ve seen it all!”

Su Marcy, CEO

United Way of Ulster County

Two words…AMAZING EXPERIENCE. Our Mid-Illinois Major Gifts Ramp-Up Event was provocative and pushed our agency directors to ‘re-imagine’ their roles as CEOs! (I’ve received only positive comments from those who attended.) MGRU Faculty challenged us to see charity through a new lens and then gave us the tools we needed to change. Our own United Way staff were inspired and are now poised for unprecedented campaign success. If you believe in nonprofit capacity-building than this program is for you.”

Our agency directors, staff and volunteers not only enjoyed Major Gifts Ramp-Up but were inspired by the case studies and success stories their faculty shared during this 2-Day Event. The success of our time together was further evidenced by the different directors who continued their work with NDI beyond the conference to implement the Major Gifts Ramp-Up Model. We look forward to bringing them back!”

Andrea Krieger, CEO

United Way of Escambia County

Major Gifts Ramp-Up is a spectacular program that’s both exciting and inspirational. Get as many of your agencies to attend because there are multiple ways the Major Gifts Ramp-Up can benefit you, your agencies, and your whole community of nonprofits. I’ve been doing UW for too many years to mention and I’ve never heard Alexandria offer these solid methods of finding your way in front of the big donors in your community… especially the ones you don’t even know are there!”
