'I can’t believe it’s already been a month since the Boston Marathon bombing.

'These are the words that matter to us as fundraisers. These are the words that matter to a donor A couple weeks ago, I was grounded in Newark, NJ so I got to listen to some NJ radio. One ad for a nonprofit caught my attention and then quickly failed. I blogged about it at Does the phrase “tax deductible” kill donations? And I gave some suggestions on how the ad could’ve gotten me to make a donation.

'Roger recently presented at Fundraising Success’ Engage Conference. Now, he undoubtedly said many, many wise things, but he read the following fairy tale, which arguably contains the nub of his message. Enjoy! Snow White and the Seven Small Woods People. There was once an evil fundraising queen. So vain and out of touch was she that she could not bear to think that anyone could do better.

'The Chronicle of Philanthropy just posted a note about an article in The Atlantic called “ UNICEF Tells Slacktivists: Give Money, Not Facebook Likes.” This really bothers me. How dare we as NGOs or nonprofits command people in how to support us. How dare we berate them for “only” helping their friends know we exist by sharing about us on social media.

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.

'Although I doubt it’s intentional, far too many fundraisers spend far too much time and money biting the hands that feed their organization. It happens every day. Poor donor service. Lousy communications. Little or no donor recognition … sometimes not even a simple thank you. Of course this pitiful lack of concern for the donor is reflected in the equally pitiful retention rates of most organizations.

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.
