Dear Non-Profit Professional:

Face up to it -- To be successful today you need both expert advice, and actionable information -- all from sources you can trust.

And you need out-of-the-box thinking that will challenge your cherished stereotypes. That's why we've launched The Agitator Premium Service

It's designed specifically for non-profit professionals, communication experts, fundraisers, consultants, and top managers of non-profit organizations.

Thanks for reminding us that sometimes experience can be as valuable as new and exciting ideas. Balance is good for all of us. And laughing is great for all of us.

Major Benefit #1.

Exclusive Access to DonorTrends Survey Analysis and Actionable Recommendations.

Each year, in partnership with DonorTrends, we conduct in-depth donor surveys*** to spot the trends that affect you. And we don't just print out the data and move on. Instead, we make seasoned insights and actionable recommendations on how to seize opportunity & avoid disaster.

These DonorTrends Surveys - there are six that will be released this year - are available exclusively - and in advance - to Agitator Premium Service Subscribers.

***an extensive survey was conducted during the summer of 2008. The data collected will be broken down and analyzed into the following 6 separate reports.

  1. Giving Across The Generations: Issues That Appeal.
  2. Donating Across The Generations: The Giving Process.
  3. Online Fundraising: Postage Still Dominates, But Mouse Is Gaining.
  4. Online Giving 3.0 … New Approaches For Early Adopters.
  5. Donor Loyalty: The Holy Grail of Fundraising. Part I
  6. Donor Loyalty: The Holy Grail of Fundraising. Part II

These reports will be carefully guarded and available exclusively for Agitator Premium Service subscribers.

All reports will have a detailed analysis authored by Tom Belford, and actionable recommendations authored by Roger Craver.

Major Benefit # 2.

Exclusive Access to the "Vault". That's what our staff and editors fondly call the Agitator Online Library where we carefully place articles, case studies, polls, surveys, and "how to" resources - covering over 50 categories - that have been vetted by the Agitator editors and contributing editors as "superb." This resource alone is worth the subscription price.

Not only do Agitator Premium Service subscribers have unlimited access to the "Vault" through their password protected login, but they can also rate each entry to let other Premium Subscribers know how valuable - or not - they find each entry in the collection.

Doesn't get any easier than this to get stay on top of the field!

Major Benefit #3:

Candid Live Briefings …

… by the Editors of the Agitator, and the Analysts of DonorTrends, our sister company, alerting you to the most important emerging trends.

I am consistently impressed and interested in the quality of the information you have been providing. Thanks for the excellent resource.
- Sarah B

These live briefings will be periodic teleconference conversations, where together we can discuss DonorTrends' findings and their implications, as well as other pressing challenges you face as a nonprofit fundraiser.

Hey, let's not kid ourselves, there's a lot of 'stuff' out there.

But how much time do you want to spend separating the wheat from the chaff. Our guess is, not much. So, by joining this exclusive community of those in the know you'll save yourself a lot of time and disappointment.

As a seasoned marketer new to the world of non-profit, this is an enlightening glimpse into the good, the bad, and the silly world we work in.
- Matt W

(We guarantee it and if you're not satisfied just tell us and we'll refund your Agitator Premium Service subscription.)

Yes - Premium Subscribers get an absolute money-back guarantee. But hey, you also get to participate. And you get to share your ideas with us, to rate the research findings we lovingly place in "The Vault" and to participate in conference calls when we discuss all this stuff.

So here's the deal ... for readers who are not working in the non-profit sector, the subscription cost is $160 a year.

But if you are a working professional - you deserve a reward. So many of our readers want more than what we can give them in the Agitator. And we can give it to them. But quite frankly it takes many extra hours and yes, it's costly. That's why we have to charge for it.

I am a big fan of Tom Belford and Roger Craver because of their work at The Agitator. They write about relevant news with expert insight combined with uncanny access to some of the country's best fundraising experts and professionals.
- Mike L

But also - we're offering a substantial discount to those who truly understand the power of knowledge and insight. We realize that this is an "industry" not noted for high salaries and golden parachutes at the end of a career.

Finally - the bottom line:

If you are a non-profit professional - you'll receive a whopping 40% discount!!!

I've been in the fund-raising business for 23 years and I've felt all that time that the professional mentality is too much like banking - not edgy enough, not idea-driven. I supposed there's reason enough for that if you're Harvard, the Mayo Clinic or the Met, but for the rest of us trying to keep these npo's running, the "financial services" model just doesn't do it.
- Curt L

It's a break you deserve - and your annual subscription will be just $96!

'Nuff said? I hope so. Go ahead, sign up today at our low rate!
