Don’t think of yourself as a “fundraiser.” That sounds like it’s all about money. And money is one of the top taboo topics in our society. Think of yourself, instead, as a “ philanthropy facilitator.” That makes it about love. “Philanthropy” translated from the Greek literally means “ love (philos) of humanity (Anthropos).” . When you ask for a philanthropic gift you’re coming from a place of love , inviting donors to join you. .

Traditionally, January isn’t a very lucrative month for fundraising. Why? Donors who just made a donation to your nonprofit during the end-of-year giving season might not think you need another donation from them so soon after they made their last gift. They also might have stretched their budgets for holiday gifts and travel and don’t have as much to give as they would during other times of year.

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.

Almost any non-cash gift to your nonprofit can be considered an in-kind donation, but most of them fall into one of two categories: goods or services. .

The ironic twist is that when employees are valued as whole individuals and provided the opportunity for well-being, connection, and fulfillment, companies are generally more innovative, resilient, and even profitable.” .

The world of work has fundamentally changed.

The truth is that engagement and enablement is more important than ever, but how we do it is the critical differentiator for many organizations.
