Back a million years ago (I’m talking early 90s here) during my first job out of college at a federal agency, we used routing slips for everything. It was a way to share a common item (whether a magazine, a new handbook or a draft of something) and to make sure everyone saw it. Everyone’s name would be on the slip and that was attached to the document.

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.

Nonprofits have been doing newsletters forever, whether in print or via email. And for just as long, the communications staff in charge of them have been either taking a deep sigh or full-out eye-rolling in response to questions about why they exist. It’s just one of those things people do, even if they are not sure why. At various times, some in the nonprofit sector have suggested that the newsletter format needs to die and that emails in particular should be about one thing and one thing

Have you developed nonprofit donor personas? Are you basing your strategy decisions off of them? If so, I recommend moving away from those donor personas and toward donor identities instead. . Think about it: Those personas may have been carefully crafted—Soccer Mom, Busy Businessman, Widow, Millennial—but those personas only touch on a small part of your donor’s identity.

Tis the season to be grateful! Thank yous are incredibly important in turning a first-time donor into a life-long giver. Donors want much more than an acknowledgement and receipt. They want a prompt, meaningful thank you letter and additional communication that explains how the donation was used. Because so many nonprofits handle this badly, you really stand out when you do it well.
