## Resource

Your board says, “We need you to raise $1 million in major gifts.” Now what? If you’re an executive director of a small to midsized nonprofit with no in-house fundraising support, that kind of goal can feel overwhelming fast. In this episode of Huddle Up with Mark The Fund Coach, we break down exactly where to begin. You’ll learn how to shrink the big number into practical next steps, identify the right donors to focus on, and start building meaningful major gift relationships—without panic, pressure, or pretending to be someone you’re not. Tune in, and let’s huddle up!
