I just finished Part 2 of our webinar series on Social Media Strategies for Nonprofits that Won’t Waste Your Time. On Tuesday, we covered the Be Personal side of this framework : Today, we moved to the right side: Be Practical. Nonprofits have things they need to talk about but only have a limited amount of time to put into social media, thus we need to talk about social media content creation in a very practical way.

Many nonprofits don’t seem to understand what it means to be donor-centered. I think it’s fairly obvious. It means focusing on your donors’ needs and interests, acknowledging them in your letters and other communication, and taking into account that not all donors are the same. I guess it’s not obvious enough because you see countless examples of generic, organization-centered communication that barely acknowledges the donor.

It’s critical to do your research to ensure you achieve a positive return on your investment. For event organizers it’s even more challenging as they must find a way to stand out from the crowd and attract sponsors, powerful speakers, exhibitors and of course sell tickets to fill seats.

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.
