The Mid-Level Multiplier Effect: How to Transform Your Major Gift Pipeline with Jeff Schreifels

Mid-level donors are often overlooked. But in this episode of The Responsive Lab, Jeff Schreifels joins co-hosts Carly Berna and Scott Holthaus to explain why that’s a costly mistake.

As Principal at the Veritus Group and a recognized authority in major gifts, Jeff shares the pivotal role mid-level giving plays in a healthy donor pipeline. He breaks down the common roadblocks nonprofits unintentionally put in front of givers and offers practical guidance for teams ready to take their mid-level programs seriously.

Also in this episode, Jeff shares:

  • Why mid-level donors are often overlooked—and why that’s a mistake
  • How to create meaningful connections at scale
  • How mid-level giving feeds your major gift pipeline
  • What to do this week if you’re ready to invest in mid-level strategy
