Stop us if you’ve heard this one before: A new technology walks into an organization and says, “I’m here to solve all your problems!” Yup, you have. We get it, the last generation of digital tech, particularly email and social media, created a cacophony of messages and amplified the always-on, toxic work culture. You have every right to be furious at whoever created the “reply all” button.

Nonprofits are one of the most powerful forces for good in our world. They feed the hungry, house the homeless, stand up for those too often not heard and so much more. However, even with the best intentions, nonprofits can sometimes fall short of realizing their mission. One reason for this is failing to budget for equity.

These days I'm writing a lot of case studies for partnership teams that are eager to use "social proof" to recruit more corporate partners. It's a wicked smahht strategy.

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.

When my sister first started working with a nonprofit museum, she had a lot to learn about the fundraising process for the organization. At one of the first auction events she worked, she was reprimanded for showing a donor a seat a the far end of the room. Another coworker quickly took over and showed that donor to another seat right up front. Why was this such an egregious mistake?

If you looked up suggestions for which major gifts metrics and KPIs your organization should be measuring, most of what you’d find would seem fairly reasonable. The typical metrics measure activities quantitatively, such as number of calls, number of visits, number of solicitations, number of gifts, and so on. But there’s a problem with most of those metrics.

As you know I love hearing from nonprofits. That’s how I learn. And that’s how I believe we all learn together.

During the “Great Recession,” nonprofits have lost their accountants and financial directors at record rates. And finding new, qualified help that they can afford is nearly impossible…. At the same time, hundreds of nonprofits are waking up to realize that the financial structure they’ve always relied on doesn’t work as well any more. And they’re tired of the hamster wheel of hiring, re-hiring, training, and re-training bookkeepers and accountants.

“I’ve already made all of my giving decisions for this year, so there’s no reason for us to meet.”. Here is another common objection that a prospective benefactor will share when you try to reach out to schedule a visit. The first thing I’ll say is this: as a general rule, as major gift fundraisers we are way too passive. 99 times out of 100 a donor says a line like this and the fundraiser simply gets back in their shell like a scared little turtle and moves on.
