Major nonprofit organizations become great institutions through passionate leadership, bold plans and highly motivated, engaged donors. Dini Partners works to instill in our clients the understanding that major donors draw distinctions between giving to a charitable institution and investing in one — and that there's a difference between supporting organizations that follow, and enabling those that serve leading roles in society.

Why donors give

The Dini Partners approach to major gift fundraising is fundamentally relationship-based. Our clients learn that by carefully listening to and engaging their constituents, they can help major donors feel an implicit and abiding connection to the organization:

“They represent what I stand for as a person.”

When this dynamic takes root, the give-and-take of a genuine relationship has begun to exist, and asking the donor to consider a major gift becomes a natural next step.
