Fundraising is a a process of building relationships with people and companies or other organizations who might want to help you in your "mission". By the way fundraising is non-profit. There are certain approaches you could take when fundraising. One way is warm fundraising. Warm fundraising is when you ask people that you already know or you have connections with to help you reach a certain amount of money and to help your "cause". Another one is cold fundraising, cold fundraising is when you approach people that you do not know and you just met them for the first time. However cold fundraising should be your last resort because a lot of people are not successful in getting money from people that they do not already know. Now let's talk about the best practices for nonprofit fund development or "fundraising". Number 1 "prospecting"
number 2 "cultivation"
number 3 "asking"
number 4 "stewardship"
Prospecting is all about identifying people who might be interested in your "mission". Cultivation is once you have approached a person/ Prospect for the first time you'll want to "cultivate" them. Cultivating means to communicate with them and build a strong relationship with them on regular basis. Now on to asking, asking all comes down to the appropriate timing. What you want to do is ask the prospect / person to make a gift to your nonprofit development/ fundraiser. Lastly stewardship stewardship is when you keep building the relationship with them even after they sent you money and he keep on talking until the next time you ask them for a "gift".
