Retaining donors is difficult and retaining a significant number of donors is rare among nonprofits. However, effective donor retention is possible with a retention plan that takes into account why your donors give to your nonprofit, works to build personal connections and gives donors the flexibility they need to continue giving to your organization. .

No one cares how much money you’ve raised. Displaying how much money you’ve raised on your website, on your LinkedIn, on your resume, or anywhere else without context is a COMPLETELY UNHELPFUL METRIC. Let me explain…. If an average car salesman sells 10 cars a month, valued at $30,000/car they did $3.6 Million in sales. WOW! Problem is they might only make $60-$100k off of those sales.

When a founder plays a significant role in building and running a nonprofit, it’s easy for people to think that the founder “is” the nonprofit. They often have an out-sized influence on the board, the staff and even donors. When that happens, it makes the transition to new leadership very hard, when they do decide to step down. Darcella Craven of VetBiz joins me for this episode to talk about the warning signs for when a founder is “too important” to a nonprofit and how to handle the transition

You can’t plan out your nonprofit’s impact this year without projecting your fundraising revenue. The two are tied together. In fact, you must plan your programs first so you know what your fundraising goal is. If you try to just raise as much as you can then figure out how to spend it, that’s backwards. And it’s really hard to tell donors how their donation will make a difference, because the truth is that you don’t know.
