For many years, I insisted that there was a paradigm shift in the nonprofit sector, but fundraisers thought everything would stay the same. However, the pandemic created distance between nonprofits and donors, which has changed fundraising as we once knew it.

We have a HOA, board that never responds to emails or enforces the community bylaws. One board member constantly battles the members to do something about issues and believes they don’t enforce the rules because some board members break those rules. So, now the BOARD has developed a lie about him harassing homeowners and receiving anonymous calls complaining about that BOARD member.

Writing effective nonprofit thank you notes is equal parts art and science. You must rely on the data you’ve collected about your donors and personalize letters with specific donor information to add a genuine touch. This is especially true when it comes to writing memorial donation thank you letters.

Terrific article – I could not have read it at a better time (unfortunately). We have a 3 member board 2/3 is granddaughter-President; Grandmother-Treasurer and myself Secretary. This resulted due to becoming self-managed as a proposed management company (the majority) felt would be assessing a too high condo fee. The President & Treasurer (& her husband non board member) are allowing non-owners to remove landscaping without full board approval.

Traditional budgeting and forecasting methods can no longer keep pace with today’s rapidly evolving business environment. Static budgets, rigid annual forecasts, and outdated financial models limit an organization’s ability to adapt to market shifts and economic uncertainty. To stay ahead, finance leaders must leverage a future-forward approach—one that leverages real-time data, predictive analytics, and continuous planning to drive smarter financial decisions.

Amazing right? Imagine talking about a decline in agriculture but not talking about farmers. But while most discussions of the problem focus on the donor, there are two parts of the process of giving, and the fundraiser is no less crucial.

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.
