I’d like to revisit a topic I’ve written about in the past and that’s the 5 C’s of good nonprofit communication. You can think of this as a summer rerun. Some of you will remember the time networks (and even longer ago there were just a few of them) didn’t release new TV shows in the summer and we just watched reruns. But I digress…. . It’s important to keep these 5 C’s in mind when you’re writing a fundraising appeal, thank you letter, update, or any type of donor communication.

It’s easy to get all wrapped up in digital marketing. But I got a great reminder about the power of signage while I was in Belize last week with my Girl Scout Troop. At the Belize Zoo, which houses many injured and orphaned animals, many of the signs told their stories in large letters that you could read from many feet away. You didn’t have to be right up on a display card.

Now, you can donate without interrupting your scrolling. .

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

Your nonprofit has its own identity, and it’s likely that you want to tell your whole story to your stakeholders. However, when nonprofits wrap everything that the organization is about into its mission and vision statements, a lot of the power and decision-making value is lost in these lofty and winding statements. .
