On Tuesday, I shared with you the “new” metrics for email engagement , which include whether your emails are read before they are deleted and whether people are replying to or forwarding them. It’s this engagement rate more than whether you have spammy content or design that affects whether your emails are delivered to the inbox these days.

Deep down, nonprofits begin from the same place: a need to propel change. As organizations grow, the mission is seemingly the primary driver behind recruiting support. However, don’t assume the mission alone will sustain that connection—organizations should never lose sight of customer experience. Though nonprofits tend to speak less about branding than for-profits do, they’re still bound by branding rules.

As our Canadian readers recover from yesterday’s celebration of their 151st Canada Day and American readers prepare for Wednesday’s 242 nd celebration of Independence Day we thought it appropriate to devote this week to reexamining some fundraising fundamentals that may—or may not—be in need of major change or at least updating. Consequently, tomorrow Nick will explore the concept of “strategy”.

Happy New Year! (if your fiscal year started on July 1). The start of a nonprofit's new year is always an exciting time, with new fundraising goals to meet or exceed. In a previous post , I talked about the importance of measuring your fundraising success beyond your budget and its bottom line. Yet far too many nonprofit leaders rely on that single number to measure success.

From Make to Stick by the Heath brothers: “Herb Kelleher [the longest-serving CEO of Southwest] once told someone, “I can teach you the secret to running this airline in thirty seconds. This is it: We are THE low-cost airline. Once you understand that fact, you can make any decision about this company`s future as well as I can.”. “Here`s an example,” he continues.

You’d think a $400 billion industry like ours would have empirically based standards and practices readily available and accessible to all. After all, most sectors — ranging from apple growers to doctors and hospitals, and even zoos — have them. Fundraising doesn’t. What we do have is mass of accumulated tribal wisdom, often conflicting, seldom empirically based.

Four years ago In Part 5 of our Barriers to Growth series I raised the question of whether the “full service” fundraising agency has outlived usefulness. More pointedly I wondered whether in fact they’re actually a danger to the sector.

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.

This photo of my grandsons Jalen (at left) and Zachary (in the “kiddie cage” at right) joining the national protest against the Trump Administration’s separation of migrant families made me more than proud. It serves as assurance that the gene of dissent has successfully made its way to the next generation. I wanted to share it with you because today we Americans celebrate our national contribution to dissent – July 4 th or Independence Day.
