Fundraising: Let's talk maximums

Nobody in The D10 community settles for the minimum. When you train for an event, you learn the technique, you apply effort, and you get results. Why should fundraising be any different?

D10 Fundraising: tips and templates

More than 30 Decathletes joined the 10K Club last year — each raised more than $10,000. Together they cleared $500,000. Here is how they did it.

10K Club tips

Swipe, tap arrows, or use the keyboard to see all seven tips.

01

Don't underestimate yourself

Peers, colleagues, friends, and family are more generous than you assume. Share your goals and ask.

02

Early and often

Announce that you are in today. On average it takes six emails for a donor to give. A reminder never hurt.

03

Mention Memorial Sloan Kettering

The world's oldest and largest private cancer institution. That history gives people confidence their gift will land.

04

Top of the house

Firms rally behind their athletes. Ask The D10 family to take a meeting — email info@thed10.com.

05

Cast a wide net

The financial-services community rallies around this event, and it does not stop there. Contact your whole network.

06

Use the tools at your disposal

Every competitor gets a fundraising profile and an email template for clients, colleagues, friends, and family.

07

Ask The D10 staff

Staff will help with emails, social posts, goal setting, and phone or email support so you can hit your number.
