Guidelines for Building a Donor Pipeline by Chapter provides a step-by-step framework for developing and managing a sustainable fundraising pipeline at the chapter level. This guide helps chapters identify and qualify potential donors, cultivate meaningful relationships, and steward supporters effectively to strengthen long-term funding. It outlines practical strategies for every stage of the donor cycle — from prospect identification and cultivation to solicitation, stewardship, and tracking. By following these guidelines, chapters can build intentional, relationship-based pipelines that align with SCORE’s mission, engage local supporters, and contribute to national fundraising growth. The guide also includes metrics and move management tools to help chapters monitor progress, measure donor retention, and track success.
