Today I want to introduce you to a new metaphor for nonprofit communications and marketing work that I’ve been using for a while now with private coaching clients. Think of our air travel system. You have lots of different airlines with many different planes and people on those planes. All of those airlines are trying to use the same airport. Air traffic control at the airport lets planes know when they can land.

You can’t plan out your nonprofit’s impact this year without projecting your fundraising revenue. The two are tied together. In fact, you must plan your programs first so you know what your fundraising goal is. If you try to just raise as much as you can then figure out how to spend it, that’s backwards. And it’s really hard to tell donors how their donation will make a difference, because the truth is that you don’t know.

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.

No one cares how much money you’ve raised. Displaying how much money you’ve raised on your website, on your LinkedIn, on your resume, or anywhere else without context is a COMPLETELY UNHELPFUL METRIC. Let me explain….

When a founder plays a significant role in building and running a nonprofit, it’s easy for people to think that the founder “is” the nonprofit. They often have an out-sized influence on the board, the staff and even donors. When that happens, it makes the transition to new leadership very hard, when they do decide to step down.
