5 Ways To Recession-Proof Your Nonprofit Lately, it’s hard to go more than a few hours—forget about a whole day—without being haunted by the joint specters of recession and inflation. We see the numbers at the gas pump and when we turn on the news. They insert themselves into small talk with co-workers at the water cooler. Or conversations with our partners and roommates about rising interest rates and rent hikes.

To be successful on social media, it’s crucial to prioritize… well, being “social”. In fact, if you don’t plan on consistently engaging with your audience, it’s best to stay off social media altogether. If at this point, you’re mumbling under your breathe “Okay, Captain Obvious”, that’s fair, but are you really sure of what it takes to “engage”?

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.

Everyone likes to feel appreciated and that includes your donors. In fact, thanking your donors should be a priority for your nonprofit organization. Is that the case? Often the answer is no. Thanking your donors is not just something you do after you receive a donation and then do nothing for a while. Gratitude is something you need to show all year round and with Valentine’s Day coming up, that’s a great opportunity to thank your donors and show them how much you appreciate their support.

This is SO true. When I was trained as a field canvasser, we typically only took the third no, but that was cold-calling for much smaller gifts than I ask for today. I recently got a no for our major donor program and after probing a bit found out there were other similar groups this donor was already invested in, but that they truly appreciated what we were doing and how our work was different.

You’re probably familiar with the Ask, Thank, Report formula in fundraising. If not, you should be. Organizations that follow that tend to be more successful. It’s also referred to as Ask, Thank, Report, Repeat, because it’s something you need to keep doing. And what’s most important is to thank and report before you ask for another donation. Of course, formulas are good in theory, but you can’t just go through the motions.
