“But is this really my responsibility?” That’s the response I sometimes get when I’m encouraging a nonprofit communications director to step up and start an often-hard conversation within their organizations. Of course, it’s usually not their job, technically. But the problem is that when executive directors and other senior staff don’t provide that kind of leadership, there’s a gap.

I want to revisit a topic I’ve written about in the past and that’s the 5 C’s of good nonprofit communication. 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. Is it Clear? What is your intention? What message are you sending to your donors? Are you asking for a donation, thanking them, or sharing an update?

The circle nonprofits struggle with the most is suspects because they are cold leads??(unlike prospects which is warm ?? and supporters which is downright hot ????). Nonprofits ask: "How do I get a cold prospect to talk to me?" I thought I had a good response to this question: demonstrate overwhelming value.

Two thirds of Americans don’t have a will. That’s a vast area of untapped resources for the nonprofit sector. Expanding a current gifts program or taking on the challenge of beginning one is incredibly rewarding but takes time to ferment. Encouraging people to make a will and include your nonprofit in it isn’t easy. A fun run or gala charity auction is a lot more upbeat.

For the past few years, I have been wondering two things. First, is the use of my devices giving me bad posture? Second, are my devices hurting my ability to focus? The answer, of course, is yes to both. What to do about it? Being distracted is a behavior. It turns out, behavior is the result of a formula.

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.

For the last 5 or so years, there has been a trend in new donor acquisition : Response rates continue to drop while average gifts continue to rise. This means that fewer people are donating to charities, but those who do are giving larger amounts. There are a variety of theories on why this is happening, and while it is fascinating to see the speculations on this topic, the bottom line question most nonprofits have is: What can I do about it?

We live in an era when anyone can announce anything to everyone. You’d think that would be a good thing. In most cases, it’s not. Most of the time it’s a race for cheap attention. For nonprofits seeking the unearned notice of followers on social media, it’s quickly turned into a race to the bottom.
