July 18, 2025Major Gifts Ramp-Up launches Game-Changing Web Platform for Fundraising Success

MGRU launches Game-Changing Website for Fundraising Success is a important announcement made by America’s leading group of major gifts fundraisers.
For decades, nonprofit leaders seeking capital, fundraising, and endowment campaign support have faced the same frustrating options: expensive consultants, inflexible contracts, and models that raised money for buildings but left operations scrambling, for operations but not equipment or facilities, or for an endowment to meet future, not current, financial needs.
All of that changes with the launch of MajorGiftsRampUp.com (VISIT HERE) —the new digital home of the Major Gifts Ramp-Up (MGRU) fundraising model. Purpose-built for nonprofits aiming to achieve transformational growth, it’s more than a website—it’s a gateway to a smarter, faster, and more cost-effective way to fund your mission.
This launch marks a pivotal moment in nonprofit fundraising. At MajorGiftsRampUp.com, organizations of all sizes can now explore a model that shatters the limits of traditional capital, fundraising, and endowment campaigns and replaces them with a data-informed, donor-centered approach proven to produce long-term, sustainable results. Through robust digital resources, on-demand guidance, and an invitation to partner with a dedicated team of expert counselors, MajorGiftsRampUp.com offers nonprofits the tools to raise millions—not just once, but year after year.
MGRU launches Game-Changing Website for Fundraising Success
So, what exactly makes MajorGiftsRampUp.com and the model it represents so revolutionary?
Rethinking the Capital Campaign: What MGRU Delivers
The traditional capital campaign has long been the standard playbook for raising funds for buildings, equipment, or large projects. But it comes with limitations: high costs, long timelines, rigid contracts, and limited scope. Most traditional campaigns raise money for one project only—leaving gaps in capital, operational, and endowment funding that nonprofits scramble to fill.
MGRU rewrites that playbook.
At its core, MGRU is a comprehensive financial capacity-building model. A capital, fundraising, or endowment campaign rooted in MGRU doesn’t just raise funds for a new facility or capital improvement, your operations, or the future. MGRU does it all!
- Three years of operational support (plus new program funding)
- Three years of one-time capital projects
- Three years of endowment contributions
And it does this in less time and for a fraction of the cost of traditional approaches.
With the launch of MajorGiftsRampUp.com, nonprofits now have a single, user-friendly portal to learn, explore, and implement this high-impact model. It’s more than an introduction—it’s a complete toolkit for success.
A Faster Path to Millions: Less Time, More Money
One of the most powerful selling points of the MGRU model—and now a central theme of MajorGiftsRampUp.com—is its ability to raise more money in less time.
Whereas conventional capital campaigns stretch over 24 to 36 months, the average MGRU campaign lasts just 16 months. The condensed timeline means nonprofits can start using funds sooner, scale programs faster, and see measurable results earlier.
The shorter engagement also translates to significant cost savings. Traditional campaigns can cost 10 percent of the fundraising goal. MGRU campaigns typically cost just 2 to 5 percent—which means more of every donor dollar supports the mission instead of covering campaign expenses. Even if the fundraising totals were the same (and they’re not—MGRU consistently raises more money), the net return is dramatically better.
Flexibility Without Compromise: Sixty-Day Rolling Contracts
MajorGiftsRampUp.com reflects another key pillar of the MGRU difference: flexibility.
In contrast to the long-term consulting contracts typical of capital campaigns, MGRU operates on a 60-day rolling contract. This gives nonprofits the freedom to adapt. If needs or circumstances change, they’re not locked into an 18- or 24-month obligation. They can pivot without penalty—an enormous relief for executive directors and boards navigating complex environments.
This trust-based approach is rare in the consulting world. But it’s a core belief of the MGRU model: that nonprofits should be empowered, not encumbered, by the experts who serve them.
Dedicated Experts, Powerful Tools
MajorGiftsRampUp.com not only introduces the model—it showcases the people and tools that bring it to life.
Each campaign is led by a team of MGRU counselors, all of whom are seasoned major gift professionals. Their combined expertise ensures that every client receives tailored, strategic support from start to finish. It’s a true team approach—no junior staff, no one-size-fits-all strategy.
Supporting them is an unprecedented array of digital tools, including:
DonorScope
MGRU’s proprietary wealth-screening platform doesn’t just evaluate your existing donors. It also allows nonprofits to download potential donor profiles, adding a dynamic acquisition element that’s missing from many other screening tools. Once you’ve built your list, MGRU shows you how to transform prospects into loyal, high-impact donors—giving five-, six-, and even seven-figure gifts consistently.
The MGRU Cloud
No other fundraising consultancy offers a deeper library of resources. With over 13,000 documents, the MGRU Cloud includes editable cases for support, job descriptions, training materials, sample gift proposals, video briefings, expert panel discussions, and more. It’s the most robust nonprofit major gift resource repository in the country—and MajorGiftsRampUp.com puts it all at your fingertips.
Building Capacity for the Long Haul
One of the most exciting advantages of MGRU—and a point underscored across MajorGiftsRampUp.com—is its long-term impact.
When the campaign ends, the learning doesn’t. Clients emerge with stronger teams, better systems, and a deeper understanding of major gifts strategy. In fact, many nonprofits report continued increases in annual revenue long after their MGRU engagement ends.
Consider Allies in Youth Development. Before MGRU, they raised about $720,000 annually. After implementing the MGRU model, that number grew to $1.08 million in just one year. Four years later, they’re generating $2.1 million annually—and it’s not from one-time gifts, but recurring donor relationships built on MGRU principles.
That kind of sustainable success is the true measure of a campaign’s impact—and it’s exactly what MGRU is designed to deliver.
More Than a Campaign: A Movement
The launch of MajorGiftsRampUp.com also represents a broader movement toward professionalization and empowerment in the nonprofit sector.
Clients who adopt the MGRU model automatically gain access to the National Association of Nonprofit Organizations and Executives (NANOE), the fastest-growing membership network for nonprofit professionals. NANOE members enjoy access to:
- Downtown NANOE: a virtual marketplace of vetted vendors for legal, HR, software, and more
- Inside Charity: the nation’s most trusted nonprofit news source
- 501c3Buzz and NANOE News: newsletters reaching over 350,000 subscribers
- Professional certifications and educational opportunities grounded in research from institutions like Clemson University
These enhancements go far beyond fundraising. They build capacity, credibility, and community—all essential ingredients for nonprofit growth.
