The document discusses the key elements of an effective fundraising offer: specificity, cost, impact, and urgency. It explains that a good offer presents a specific action or item for the donor to fund, assigns a appropriate cost, convinces the donor their donation will have a large impact, and creates a sense of urgency for the donor to act now. The document provides examples of ineffective, non-specific offers and emphasizes that a compelling offer allows donors to directly contribute to change. It concludes by offering assistance from the company, TrueSense Marketing, to help craft strong fundraising offers.
