Every year, nonprofits sit down to craft their strategic development plans , outlining bold revenue goals and the activities needed to achieve them. And every year, many of these plans failnot because the goals are too ambitious, but because theyre built backward, without a solid foundation of data. Ive been there.

Employee recognition has often been deemed a "feel-good" initiative, tied closely to rewards. While we understand its importance, we tend to associate recognition with intangible outcomes like engagement and sentiment, rather than direct impacts on retention and high performance. In today’s workplace, the true ROI of recognition lies in its ability to regenerate tangible, business-driven results.

Donor love can transform your fundraising. And your fundraising career. But what, exactly, is donor love? It’s a set of tactics aimed at winning the donor over by putting her into the story. It’s honoring, thanking, and listening to the donor. But donor love is also an attitude, a mindset. It’s not unlike “being in love” — it sits in the background (sometimes in the foreground) of everything you do, guiding your thinking and behavior.

As a strategy, better thanking for bigger donors seems like a good idea. But theres a problem: You know the size of a gift, but you dont know how generous a gift is. That $50,000 donation may be a big deal for you, but for the donor it might be unimportant, little considered, not a large amount.
