The grant deadline is barreling toward you like a freight train. You asked program staff for critical information weeks ago, but still have not received it. They’re ignoring your texts, emails, and phone calls, and you’ve just learned an essential player has gone on vacation. “Unfortunately, this doomsday scenario is not unusual. Grant professionals consistently lament the lackadaisical response of staff members when asked for data, program details, budget figures, and other essential informati

On the wall below their small cafe area, there was a poster that said, “We are collecting Puerto Rican pesos.” This was the first time I learned that Puerto Rico once had their own currency. It’s taken me a few years to understand that the loss of the currency was only the beginning of the United States’s control of Puerto Rico’s finances up until today.

When you see this direct mail envelope that showed up in my mailbox, you might ask, “What were they thinking?” The thing is huge. 11″ x 13.75″ It had to be folded in half to fit in the mailbox.

To effectively retain and encourage top fundraisers, it is essential to understand the elements of retention and its effect on finances.
