Many nonprofits do a poor job of showing appreciation to their donors, but you don’t have to be one of them. . There are many ways to show some donor appreciation. One idea is to have an open house at your organization. If you can’t hold one on-site, have it at a restaurant or other venue. You may be able to find someone to donate space. Invite other supporters, too.

I write case studies for organizations and many have the same challenge: they don't have a lot to say. Getting a few quotes from the partner is expected (and important!). But wouldn't it be great if you had some hard data that the partnership actually worked? That it was actually win-win for both partners. It's for this reason I'm partnering with Accelerist for a special case study offering for August.

A major challenge most working adults face every day is getting themselves up and going for work. The perpetual dailiness of life can get tiring if you aren’t motivated by a passion. You get up, get ready, look yourself in the mirror and something doesn’t feel right. Something’s gotta change. “Why should I wake up early to go to a job that could get done with or without me?”.

Your brand is the foundation and one of the most important aspects of your business. Bottom line, you have one chance to make a first, second and third brand impression. It doesn’t matter if you are a solo entrepreneur, small business, large, super size, business to business, business to consumer or anything in between. Your brand is who you are. It's your promise delivered.

By Tom Peterson. Just as our most-important muscle, the heart, pumps oxygen and nutrients to the cells in our body, another heart supplies life to our communities. You see this heart in what a people do, especially how they treat others. Acts of heart are often unnoticed: speaking kind words to a lonely person, picking up a piece of litter when no one is looking, or planting a few bushes to help feed migrating butterflies.

Nonprofits can learn from. The Godfather. Even if you don't know the film, you probably know its most famous line. Marlon Brando, as Don Corleone, uttering "I'm gonna make him an offer he can't refuse.". Take away the sinister tone, and you have a brilliant piece of fundraising advice. Your "offer" is a key part of any successful fundraising appeal.

Direct mail is NOT dead! However, ‘ spray and pray ‘ direct mail should be! Long live one-to-one, highly relevant, personalized communications— including direct mail letters! Direct mail letters are powerful because, when done right, they make donors feel good. And that’s the whole point isn’t it? Your communications will either make a donor feel good, bad or indifferent.

By Harry Gardner , Content and Partnerships Manager at GivePanel. Any fundraiser worth their salt knows they should be thanking people who donate or fundraise for their cause. However, there seems to be confusion around the best way to thank Facebook fundraisers, with many nonprofits not thanking them at all. The reasons for this vary, but usually, it is a mixture of a lack of time and resources as well as a lack of knowledge on how to find who has created a Facebook Fundraiser for your nonprofi
