Is This an Email, a Meeting or an Instant Message?

Nonprofit Marketing Guide

We know that nonprofits rely on email and meetings for internal communications — in fact, they over-rely on them! I encourage you to add two different communications channels to your internal comms mix, in addition to email and meetings : Instant messaging , whether you use Slack, Microsoft Teams, Google Hangouts, Facebook Messenger/Workplace or some other similar service.

What Fundraising and Strength Training Have in Common

Ann Green

About a year and a half ago I started doing strength training with a personal trainer. My initial assessment was humbling, to say the least, and at the beginning, there were several times I wondered “Why am I doing this?”. But I’ve benefited so much. Not only am I stronger, but I’ve lost weight, I’m sleeping better, my mood is better, and I have a more robust immune system.

Thunderhead Works

By Tom Peterson. Not too long ago many nonprofits looked askance at the idea of marketing. In the mid-nineties, an organization I worked with was raising about $3 million a year from what we would today call marketing. Some colleagues—particularly Michael Cervino, who had helped grow Habitat for Humanity—and I had created a marketing plan, based on the results we already had from direct mail tests.

In today’s workplace, the true ROI of recognition lies in its ability to regenerate tangible, business-driven results.

Why major and legacy donors think your fundraising communications stink!

iMarketSmart

First, it is not all your fault. Well then, can we blame it on leadership? Leadership should share the burden of blame because fundraisers tend to feel a lot of pressure to do what’s always been done. In many cases they are driven (by leadership) to avoid trying anything new in case it doesn’t work. If that happens they fear the attempt might be considered a waste of donor money.

Giving increased.7% but you won’t hear anyone celebrating and that’s really too bad

iMarketSmart

Remember when the Lilly School predicted at least a $13 billion drop in giving due to the Trump Tax Cut (which would have taken us to $376 billion)? Instead, we saw a.7% rise in real dollars to $427.71 billion. They should have egg on their faces for their doomsday prediction. Instead I’m seeing reporters spin the data saying “the tax cut made people less generous.” Good grief!
