Your nonprofit likely has many goals it wants to accomplish, ranging in priority and timeline. Some of these goals may be broad and worldly, while others are not. However, for you to lay a path to accomplish your goals, your nonprofit should follow a similar structure for writing each of your goals. .

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. .

Thanking your donors is just as important, if not more important than fundraising. Yet many organizations spend a lot of time putting together a fundraising campaign and treat thanking their donors as an afterthought. We’re still in a time of uncertainty. While some people have been generous over the last two years, we don’t know how long that will continue.

Think of a brand , any brand. Which business or organization comes to mind first? Whether it’s one of the big dogs or a smaller brand you love, they have surely advertised to you online. It may be how you first discovered them, and it’s likely a big part of their strategy to stay on your radar. At the start of my career, “advertising” was a dirty word in the nonprofit sector—as was “ marketing.
Speaker: Dave Sackett
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 Static budgets, rigid annual forecasts, and outdated financial models limit an organization’s ability to adapt to market shifts and economic uncertainty.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.

I’ve been fortunate enough to work with several nonprofit organizations that weren’t part of a national charity, university system, or hospital, which have attracted multimillion dollar donations. These nonprofits didn’t have major gift officers or even planned giving staff. They were small shops staffed in most cases with a single development director.

Volunteers are a lifeline for many nonprofits. More than 10.4 million volunteers are currently needed to support nonprofits (VolunteerMatch). And the current estimated national value of each volunteer hour is $29.95 (Independent Sector). Let’s do the math and make a conservative estimate. If every needed volunteer contributed just one hour each week, that time could be valued at about $16 billion annually !

However, nonprofit accountant turnover is not a new problem in the sector. It’s an ongoing issue that’s merely exacerbated by the Great Resignation.

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.

“Books are well written or badly written. That is all.” Well, whatever aesthetic criteria Oscar had in mind when talking about literature, we can now scientifically say the same for fundraising copy. All I’ve ever done is write copy (I mean, I’ve done other stuff with my life, but not for a living). But it’s only in the past year, since testing and launching the Copy Optimizer, I’ve had any objective criteria by which to assess whether anything I wrote was good or bad.
