The average amount given by donor households has been relatively steady from 2000 through 2020, but single womens giving increased overall and to secular causes during the COVID-19 period when compared to single men. Data show that married couples are most likely to give, followed by single women, and then single men and that holds true not just during a 20-year period but for each individual year tracked.

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.

The less than good fundraising news continues to roll in. There was a small increase in total dollars donated (0.9%) for the first three quarters of 2024 but there were significant declines in donor participation, particularly among smaller donors (gifts less than $100), which had a 12.4% decline. Donor retention continued to decline (4.6%), marking the fourth consecutive year of year-over-year negative activity.

Confession: This is something I struggled with in my 30 years as a manager. I wanted to reward folks, but I tended to focus on things like money rather than gratitude, praise and recognition. And positive reinforcement didn’t come to me as naturally as pointing out weaknesses. I had both a boss (and a mother) who role modelled this for me. This same critical boss also told me, whenever I wanted to give someone a raise, money didn’t motivate people.

I just read an interesting book: Nabokov’s Favorite Word Is Mauve by Ben Blatt. It’s a writerly romp through the details about great literature. If you’re a word-nerd, you’ll really enjoy it. One chapter especially got me thinking about fundraising messages. It’s about the opening sentences of great novels — those memorable and often arresting beginnings that propel you through hundreds of pages.

In the fall of 2021 my book, How We Give Now , was published. Shortly thereafter I got covid, which turned into Long Covid. I've now been disabled since early 2022. I didn't get to tour with the book, missed out on lots of opportunities to share it with people, and had no chance to promote it. That's sad, but hey, life gives you lemons. I feel as if I've spent the time since getting sick in 2022 learning how to receive.

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.
