“But is this really my responsibility?” That’s the response I sometimes get when I’m encouraging a nonprofit communications director to step up and start an often-hard conversation within their organizations.

I want to revisit a topic I’ve written about in the past and that’s the 5 C’s of good nonprofit communication. It’s important to keep these 5 C’s in mind when you’re writing a fundraising appeal, thank you letter, update, or any type of donor communication. Is it Clear? What is your intention?

Two thirds of Americans don’t have a will. That’s a vast area of untapped resources for the nonprofit sector. Expanding a current gifts program or taking on the challenge of beginning one is incredibly rewarding but takes time to ferment. Encouraging people to make a will and include your nonprofit in it isn’t easy. A fun run or gala charity auction is a lot more upbeat.

For the past few years, I have been wondering two things. First, is the use of my devices giving me bad posture? Second, are my devices hurting my ability to focus?

For the last 5 or so years, there has been a trend in new donor acquisition : Response rates continue to drop while average gifts continue to rise.
