What do you think of when you hear annual report? As a donor, you might think boring, long, a waste of resources, something I’m not going to read. As a nonprofit professional, you might think time-consuming, something we always do, something our board wants. These are all negatives, but an annual report can be a positive experience for your donors and also doesn’t have to be something that’s going to stress you out when you put it together.

When Brittany Hill from Catalist called me last week she had had enough. "Your past two newsletters have been all about the New England Patriots. ?? Blah, blah, blah," she said. "Instead of bragging, how about if you actually show your readers why and how to work with sports teams." Of course, I was like.??????. She had a point. So, sheepishly, I asked her what she had in mind.

. By Tom Peterson. Do you see yourself in here? You are needed. No matter who you are you have some gifts, some talents, some skills to lend to some cause.

In a 2016 study conducted by EveryAction and Nonprofit Hub , nearly half of nonprofit professionals reported that they do not consistently utilize data as part of their decision-making process.

We all have an image of what summer camp looks like—beautiful mountain lakes, campfires, tug of war, bunk beds. But the reality is that summer camps come in all shapes and sizes. And many nonprofits have started them as a way to not only drive revenue, but to achieve their mission in a more effective way. If you run a nonprofit museum, advocacy group, animal shelter or environmental protection organization, starting a summer camp could be a logical next step toward rewarding your members, donor

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.

His landmark studies (“Decoding of Inconsistent Communications” and “Inference of Attitudes from Nonverbal Communication in Two Channels”) uncovered what elements you should focus on most for effective communications as follows: Body language.

We recently got Hulu and I spent the weekend binging old seasons of Top Chef. My favorites are always the Restaurant Wars episodes where each team has to create a restaurant from scratch in about 24 hours. Watch any show about running a restaurant, and you’ll more than likely hear the phrase “in the weeds” which means they are overwhelmed with work and can’t keep up with demand.

If your nonprofit is just getting started, it’s easy to be daunted by the challenges that arise with fundraising efforts. This is especially true if you compare yourself to larger and more established organizations, which draw on brand recognition and longtime supporters to reach their goals.

If you’ve been reading this blog for a while, you probably know that I think donor surveys are great for qualifying and prioritizing your supporters for outreach. You might do some wealth screening before you conduct your survey or try wealth appending after (only adding information to the list that took the survey). Either way, when they take the survey your supporters will probably categorize themselves accordingly: Identified supporters.

What the heck am I talking about? Major gift fundraising communications (especially legacy gift marketing) tend to focus too much on showing supporters how they can make a major or legacy gift; when they should focus, instead, on creating dialogue to understand why people care and then informing them why they should give. Why they care communications should create a feedback loop to help your supporters understand their own life story, personal mission, and how your organization entwines with bo
