Employee recognition has often been deemed a "feel-good" initiative, tied closely to rewards.

One of the most common ways fundraisers fail is they create boring fundraising. As far as I know, no fundraiser tries to be boring. But many succeed at it. Here are some of the common ways fundraising is boring: It’s “educational.” Some fundraisers think if they just explain their programs and approaches well enough, that will motivate donors.
