Hi Amy, I tried something new this year and did a “Day of Giving” the week before Giving Tuesday. While I didn’t quite hit my goal, your advice is great. I’ll implement your suggestions for personal call follow-ups for donors and reaching out to LYBUNT supporters in mid-December, building on the recent personalized update emails I sent at the end of October and the first few days in November.

I really dislike Giving Tuesday–I think they should have it the Tuesday before Thanksgiving (for many reasons) and it feels like we are competing with ALL other nonprofits on the same day. However, I used AI to create a plan for Giving Tuesday which made it all a bit easier for me! It wrote the posts/recommended the pictures/images and so I didn’t feel so overwhelmed!

I’m a long-time professional fundraiser, now only taking occasional consulting work. When Giving Tuesday began years ago, I enthusiastically embraced it, participated in it, and watched its success grow year after year. This year, I’ve begun to think GT may have overstayed its welcome. I’m sure it still helps organizations raise some funds but wonder how much of those funds wouldn’t have been raised through thoughtful, personalized fundraising at year end anyway.

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.

Here’s a familiar scene: your nonprofit organization just won its first big grant, and you’re ecstatic. But before receiving funds, you need to show you’re legally registered, governed by a board, and have solid financial management policies. On top of that, there’s a lengthy contract to review and sign. It’s a lot of due diligence and compliance work to handle.

The world of work has fundamentally changed. The series of waves that the pandemic began have rippled through the Great Resignation, quiet quitting, the Great Regret, and other eloquent phrases that boil down to the same thing: people aren’t engaged at work or enabled to perform at their best. The truth is that engagement and enablement is more important than ever, but how we do it is the critical differentiator for many organizations.
