He or she has a new idea that is going to “save the company.” It could be anything from a random Facebook campaign, Live Video, Series of Instagram Stories, new Facebook group, LinkedIn group, social media campaign, planned “go viral” video” or a years worth of random inspirational quotes to bump up the engagement to your Facebo

Hurricane Harvey was a one-in-a-thousand-year rain event dumping nearly 25 trillion gallons of rainwater on the gulf coast. Most of the affected people were Texans, hearty and independent folk whose pride in their state leads them to take care of their own at a time like this. It is not surprising then to see how many Texas businesses have jumped at the chance to help support the many hurricane victims and evacuees: H-E-B grocery chain is giving customers the opportunity to donate by adding $1,

I enjoy speculating about email subject lines. If I added another word or two instead of [xyz] to the subject line of this email, do you think it would increase or decrease the open rate? However I’m already digressing. This isn’t a post about subject lines. But it is about how important the digital environment now is to nonprofit marketing and fundraising.

Scheduling a meeting shouldn’t be hard. But all too often, it feels like: via GIPHY. The back-and-forth is enough to suck your soul dry. Thankfully, there are apps to improve the process.

September is here and you know that means. Yes, it’s year-end appeal season – the time many nonprofits rely on to raise a good chunk of their revenue.

You can make yours stand out by giving some thought to it.

Volunteerism is the gateway drug leading to major giving and legacy gifts. Proof can be found in the 2016 U.S. Trust® Study of High Net Worth Philanthropy. The study is based on a survey of U.S. households with a net worth of $1 million or more (excluding the value of their primary home) and/or an annual household income of $200,000 or more. One interesting nugget I found in it is this: 49.7% of high net worth individuals volunteer.
