During the meeting — and this may be the only activity that happens at the meeting — there will be reports. Sometimes it feels like one report after another with an occasional question thrown-in and some member moving, and then the board votes to accept the report. And then, the meeting is over. Is this what you really signed up for?

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. .

At the end of 2021, your organization went through many painstaking weeks and months drafting (and re-drafting, and re-drafting) an organizational budget that is fiscally responsible, grows capacity, and allows mission fulfillment.

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.

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.

In-kind donations help your nonprofit get the resources you need to carry out your programs without asking for more cash. For this reason, they’re an invaluable tool in your fundraising toolkit.
