Year-end fundraising season is underway. You may have started working on your appeal, which is great. But don’t stop there. It’s just as important, if not more important, to plan how you’ll thank your donors. I highly recommend creating a thank you plan , which will help you show gratitude before, during, and after a campaign. . Many organizations treat thanking their donors as an afterthought and it shows.

In my nonprofit communications and marketing coaching work with nonprofits large and small, I’m often asked this question: What should be in our nonprofit’s marketing strategy ? . My response is always, “Do you have a meaningful and current strategic plan for the entire organization?” You can guess the most frequent answer: No, not really, it’s old, we plan to update it soon, etc. .

I am still sending hand-written note cards to donors. These seem to be appreciated more than an email by many. I had more responses to thank you cards in the mail rather than emails. For long-term donors, I like to send an org pin so they feel attached to the work they support. I have not tried video thank you’s yet.

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.

These are great, Amy! Thanks. I take a little issue with the in-person bullet. I am a MGO and most of my prospects are older. Zoom is anathema to about 90% of my donors. You can make some progress over the phone, but now that in-person is back–I feel like fundraising is back. But that may be just me. ??. Thanks for all you do!

Like a lot of people out there when I first heard about “quiet quitting” I assumed people were just packing up their crap and sneaking out the back or maybe never coming back from their lunch break. But it’s really just avoiding burnout and exploitation by only doing what you were hired to do during normal working hours. It’s a lot of what we’ve been talking about in our #NPCOMMLIFE posts for years.

By Stuart Buck & Anna Harvey. We don’t mean the former Facebook. Rather, philanthropies should prefer to fund meta-issues—i.e., research and evaluation, along with efforts to improve research quality. In many cases, it would be far more impactful than what they are doing now. This is true at two levels. First, suppose you want to support a certain cause–economic development in Africa, or criminal justice reform in the US, etc.
