into a clear Basic, Stretch, and Dream goal —
so you walk into every gala with a path toward success.

Set 3-tiered Goals
Chart a Path to Success
Enter giving levels and expected gifts. The builder sorts and totals every level for you.
Compare Basic, Stretch, and Dream outcomes side by side, including Paddle Sweep/Drop and more.
Map a path to realistic goals, understanding what it will take to get there.
Why data-informed goals matter.
A goal set too high deflates the room.
A goal set too low leaves money on the table.
​
Misalignment between Development and Funraising MC causes unnecessary stress and disappointment.
​
Unattainable goals based on nothing but hopes and wishes set hard-working teams up for failure.​
