It’s no fun when someone unsubscribes from your email list. But let’s face it. it’s actually much better for your sender reputation to have them unsubscribe than it is for them to never open another email or even worse, to hit the spam button. That’s why you should make unsubscribing from your email list easy. Don’t try to hide the unsubscribe link.

Your donors will receive a multitude of appeal letters this fall and many of them will be the same old generic, boring appeal.

The fact is that nonprofits should be great storytellers, but they’re not. They struggle with it - despite its obvious importance to their success with donors, supporters and corporate partners.

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.

When you're building a movement, video is an indispensable storytelling tool. By appealing to a wide range of our senses, videos capture our attention and activate our emotions, unlike any other medium. With more Americans getting their news through social media, video content provides an opportunity to grow your audience and make your story heard. Two-thirds of Americans get at least some of their news on social media and those platforms prioritize video content because it commands attention.

I always find it stupefying when a major gifts team tells me they need to get permission from the direct marketing team or higher up to be able to approach a donor to build a relationship. The reason permission is necessary, they explain, is because the direct marketing team doesn’t want to lose the revenue against their goal. Of course, they know that a potential major donor will likely contribute more to help them reach their direct marketing revenue goal.

There's a saying in fundraising. You'll raise more money when. the right person asks the right prospect for the right amount at the right time. While that's true for major donors and capital campaigns, it's also true for your general donors and your annual fund as well. Let me explain what I mean. WHO'S THE RIGHT PERSON?

A simple plan might include: Writing a vision statement that lets donors know how their bequest will help the organization for future generations.
