By Morée Lambeth , Lead Content Creator + Writer, Water.org. As a non-profiteer of many years, I have known donor giving programs to be described via a myriad of terms; sustainment, long-term, continued, recurring – all ways to describe the length of the relationship a donor establishes with a non-profit.

It’s really hard to guess whether a change you want to make will actually get better results. You just have to give it a try and see! One way to do that is through A/B testing or split testing. You pick one variable with two different options. You send Option 1 to half of your list and Option 2 to the other half, and see what works better. Or, you can send each option to a part of your list (say Option A to 20%, Option B to 20% and then you send the winner to the remaining 60%).

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 Static budgets, rigid annual forecasts, and outdated financial models limit an organization’s ability to adapt to market shifts and economic uncertainty.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

For many of us, summer is a slower time for donations , and sometimes even our operations. With family vacations and so much going on during the summer with kids being out of school, we—just like our donors—are out of our regular schedules. This means it can sometimes seem like we’re making very little progress on our development goals as we head into fall fundraising.

Email is a powerful marketing tool, but to get results you need to learn how to write fundraising emails that connect emotionally and inspire people to give. That means you can’t throw just anything in an email, push “send,” and expect thousands of dollars to pour in. It takes careful strategy and deep knowledge of your donor to get the results you’re looking for.

We live in an age where it can be challenging to keep up with the increasing speed of news cycles while managing our own busy day-to-day lives. There’s a vast amount of news available to us every day – but we may not have enough time to consume it, and we often have even less time to reflect on it and consider how it may impact us. In the midst of this “information overload,” there’s one recent story that has fully captured my attention (and, hopefully, the attention of all social sector boards)
