One of the hard truths about fundraising is that: fundraising isn’t always fun. Good fundraising is. tedious, meticulous, regular, pleasant persistence. (Even when you don’t feel like being pleasant.). If you’re not getting the results you want, look at your own activity. For example, if “no one” is getting back to you, are you really attempting to connect with people?

I like to emphasize the importance of keeping in touch with your donors throughout the year. I hope that’s a priority for you, too. Your donors want to hear from you and don’t just want to be blasted with fundraising appeals. The good news is that better donor communication (thank yous and updates) can help you raise more money. Ideally, you should communicate with your donors at least once or twice a month throughout the year.

Have you ever worried about offending a donor? If so, you’re not alone. Most fundraisers I know have done their share of mental gymnastics worrying about this possibility. Maybe you’re afraid you’ll offend them by sending too many emails. Perhaps you’re worried about the response to a photo or language you used in your appeals. The important thing is to be prepared to respond to your donors’ feelings.

Nonprofit fundraising had been due an upgrade to catapult it into the modern era for a while. When the pandemic hit, that event finally came.

Innovation was a “need right now” rather than a “maybe later,” and nonprofits were forced to join the twenty-first century — breeding all kinds of virtual solu
