A GivingUSA study revealed a significant increase in millennial gift giving from 2016 to 2022, and much of that lift is a result of direct mail. Taking advantage of empty mailboxes, in addition to understanding what really motivates millennials to give, is key to the future of most fundraising programs.

I’m a big fan of communicating by mail. It’s more personal and your donors are more likely to see something they receive in the mail, as opposed to any type of electronic message you send. Plus, people never get nearly as much mail as they do email and social media messages. Electronic communication is good, but communicating by mail is better. Now you might say – “But mail is too expensive.

By Sono Motoyama Conrado Muluc In four years, MediaJustice’s budget grew from $2.5 million to $4.5 million and its staff from 10 to 22 people, requiring some rethinking about team building. Staff burnout, lack of clarity about an organization's values, and the pace of hiring are among the challenges that prompted nonprofit leaders inundated with surprise gifts to turn to consultants — and one another.

Planned gifts initiated by donors are excellent opportunities for your nonprofit. Perhaps a longtime donor who’s particularly interested in estate planning reaches out to tell you they’ve created a modest bequest for your nonprofit, or maybe a major donor asks to discuss setting up a charitable gift annuity as part of an updated financial plan. Great news!

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 Static budgets, rigid annual forecasts, and outdated financial models limit an organization’s ability to adapt to market shifts and economic uncertainty.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.

Only about a quarter of nonprofits have an email welcome series, according to our research in the Nonprofit Communications Trends Reports. That’s a shame because a nonprofit email welcome series is a great way to get early engagement with new subscribers (in other words, getting them to click on those first emails). That signals that they really do belong on your list and want your content.

Research from McKinsey & Company shows that nonprofit professionals are particularly vulnerable to burnout. To effectively care for others, we must first care for ourselves. But that’s often easier than it sounds. Self-care is the practice of taking an active role in protecting your well-being, pursuing happiness, and being equipped to respond to stress with a positive mindset, so difficult periods don’t become long-term imbalances.

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.
