Gift Range Chart Calculator

Enter your campaign goal and I'll build the classic gift range chart fundraisers use to plan a campaign — how many gifts you need at each level, and how many prospects it takes to land them. Adjust the conventions to fit your campaign, then unlock the full chart.

Your campaign goal

The total you're aiming to raise.

Convention settings

Standard fundraising practice — adjust to your campaign.

%

The lead gift as a share of the goal. Many campaigns plan for a top gift of 10–25%.

%

The classic chart halves the gift size at each descending level, so 50%.

×

How the number of gifts grows as you step down a level. Doubling (2×) keeps each level's dollars roughly equal.

How many qualified prospects you typically cultivate to close one gift. Three is a common rule of thumb.

These are conventional planning ratios, not guarantees. Every campaign is different — treat the chart as a starting map and adjust it to your donor base.
