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.

No matter the exact breakdown for your nonprofit, a solid major gifts strategy is essential for maximizing your organization’s fundraising potential. However, securing major gifts takes significantly more time and effort than soliciting lower-level contributions.
