Special events icon

engagement events

Plan and execute special events like "Meet and Greet" cocktail style or dinner events, fundraising auctions, meet the CEO small group roundtables etc.  Buy a table at other business breakfast events, and host 8-10 major donors at  your team table.
Corporate Partnerships icon

campaign incentive partnerships

Build valuable partnerships with like-minded not-for-profits to mutually drive donations for both parties. This is the essence of an appeal incentive partnership. When charities pool their resources and choose collaboration over competition, it is  a compelling offer to supporters, resulting in exponential growth for both parties.
Major gifts icon

Create a personalized, strategic program designed to grow your major gifts. Focus on identifying and engaging with major donors, foundations, and corporations through face-to-face interactions, securing significant contributions by nurturing meaningful relationships and effective fundraising management.
Thank you programs icon

Thank you Program / Exceptional Donor Experiences

Personally thank each major donor in a timely fashion when they donate or give support of other kinds.    Ensure the set up of a "concierge" process to give exceptional customer service to your Major Gifts donors.  Acknowledge their major life events and key celebration calendar dates, eg. Christmas.
Membership programs icon

Membership Programs

Design and manage membership programs that offer benefits to supporters in exchange for their yearly / regular contributions. Assist with the development and execution of an inspiring AGM (yes you read that right 😀)

Fundraising for Christian Community Regional Radio

It’s personal... Every regional station has unique needs, priorities, and limited resources. You might need all of my consulting services—or just a few to start. Some stations focus on major gifts, while others need a skilled live appeal announcer.
ChapChat’s flexible, budget-friendly support helps you grow where it matters most. As the saying goes—with a positive twist—doing the same thing and expecting different results leads to frustration.
In 2025, a small change with ChapChat could unlock the momentum you’ve been seeking.
The risk? You might ‘win some and lose none.’

Consulting Testimonial

Jeremiah Beck's image

"I’ve had the occasion to work with Jo Chapman for the past seven years in multiple channels of broadcast and major donor fundraising.

Jo’s professionalism is the first thing that stands out: she consistently delivered results by building authentic relationships with passionate and generous listeners and partners in broadcast ministry.   When she moved into an on-air role with daily consistency, I worked closely with Jo and her co-host to develop a daily strategy to achieve organisational targets – targets that she met or exceeded far more often than falling short.

She’s an excellent public speaker, but also does well one-on-one, and has extensive behind-the-microphone and in-front-of-the-camera experience. I’d credit Jo’s faith and dedication to sharing her life through relatable storytelling with her listeners, and connecting major donors with their God-given purpose through multiple different broadcast and partner fundraising efforts, as her true, greatest attribute. Any client would benefit tremendously from Jo Chapman’s consultation."
