Every organization wants to understand just how effective it is at delivering its promised mission to the community it serves. Doing so is key to improving your programs and services, strengthening your relationships with supporters, and growing your organization’s operations over time.

I imagine many of you are working on your year-end fundraising campaign. You may have started working on your appeal letter, which is great, but how much time have you spent thinking about how you’ll thank your donors? Maybe not that much. If that’s the case, you’re making a mistake because it’s just as important, if not more important, to plan how you’ll thank your donors.

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.

By Ruth Gao For many families, owning a home is not only a source of pride but also the foundation of financial stability and opportunity that can be passed down through generations. Unfortunately, discriminatory systems and predatory actors often prevent heirs from maintaining and building upon these hard-fought gains. This loss can devastate families and disproportionately holds Black and Brown families back from financial growth over generations.

It’s no secret that running a capital campaign is a tremendous amount of work. It’s a large-scale project that requires all hands on deck and wholehearted investment from your team to be successful. However, with the need to maintain momentum and energy for the campaign for an extended period of time ( research shows the average capital campaign can take over three years to complete), it can be tricky to keep your entire team engaged and excited about the process.
