According to Foundation Source’s survey on how Gen Z and Millennials view charitable giving, the next generation started giving at a young age—just 14 years old for the average Gen Zer—and they show continued interest in cha

Whether it’s a group of volunteers frustrating staff by not taking their roles seriously or a new political campaign manager stepping on the toes of the volunteers who’ve been running things for weeks, conflict between volunteers and staff is all too common. Communication lapses, tension builds, and sometimes, sparks fly. It’s natural, and solving these conflicts is part of every volunteer manager’s job.

And, with an estimated 10% of the population being natural leaders and 20% possessing leadership skills, there’s a good chance your members want to develop their prowess in this area.

Later that day, the family member looks up your organization online, hoping to learn how they can get involved. However, after seeing your home page, they navigate away without taking any action at all. First impressions matter, which means your nonprofits website can make or break a donors relationship with your organization.

A ten-week series on things you should know about fundraising. Trust knowledge, not instinct. It doesn’t matter how smart you are — your instinct about how fundraising should be is untrustworthy.
