Selfish Giving

JUNE 3, 2020

I have to be honest with you. I don't much feel like talking about corporate partnerships this week. After the events of the past eight days, it seems insignificant. What I want is to love and respect my country again. Years ago during a visit to the U.K. I visited the Tower of London. The tour guide asked the crowd if there were any Americans in the group.

In days following the murder of George Floyd. I had no words. This is unusual for me as a journalist, speaker, leadership team member of an advocacy-based nonprofit, and downright talkative person. . Image: Unsplash by munshots. My nonprofit wanted to put out a statement. Freelance news stories [demanding a Black perspective] awaited. And then there was the white cashier who decided I “looked tired.

To be a successful blogger we are told, "Be authoritative! Demonstrate your expertise!" etc. But the truth is, all any of us can ever do is to write from our limited experience, share the lessons we have learned, and hope it helps somebody in their own journey. In the end, we are all in a constant process of learning. Even the so-called experts and teachers - if they're good at what they do - are still learning.

2020 has been a doozy and our June matra feels appropriate: seeing through obstacles.

But as a leader, you also know a thing or two about facing and conquering a challenge. “For truly, I say to you, if you have faith like a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move, and nothing will be impossible for you.

A few weeks ago I began a new consulting gig as the Interim Executive Director of the Friends of Oakland Animal Services (FOAS). No big new thing there. I've taken Interim ED assignments half a dozen times before. But I've not taken an assignment like this during a time of official Shelter-in-Place orders (but, really, who has?). Previously, the only "virtual" consulting I've done has been limited to very short engagements.

Early reports are that last month's. #GivingTuesdayNow raised more than $500 million - just a tick lower than last December's #GivingTuesday. That's amazing! And donors truly are amazing. These results prove that donors are as charitable as ever. They haven't stopped giving during the coronavirus crisis. However, many nonprofits stopped asking (and, therefore, their donations are down).

If you’ve been fundraising and communicating with your donors the last couple of months, you’ve probably been doing most of it electronically. . Electronic communication is good, but communicating by mail is better. Start thinking about communicating by mail again. If not now, sometime soon. Especially if donors contributed since the COVID-19 outbreak.

In 2016 Facebook (FB) released a tool that has changed the way money is raised through social media. It has been a huge success. So huge that it can be hard to break through. This platform is evolving, but there is money to be raised within your network. I raised $12,000 in about 45 days on FB on my first try. I can’t guarantee you will do the same, but I will show you how I did it.
