Over the years, I’ve realized the importance of keeping things simple. This is even more important now during this time of chaos and uncertainty. I’m sure you’re experiencing those both professionally and personally. I often find pleasure in simple things such as taking a walk, reading (I’ve found the Thursday Murder Club series to be a nice escape right now), and doing yoga.

If you’ve ever wondered why your nonprofit’s emails aren’t making it into inboxes – or why some messages get more traction than others – it’s because inboxes work a lot like social media feeds now. Just like Facebook or Instagram only show you what they think you’ll care about, inbox providers like Gmail and Outlook are using user engagement signals to decide what lands in the inbox and what disappears into the void (also known as Promotions or Spam).

Eight years ago, I wrote an article asking, “Why Aren’t You Doing More Online Fundraising?” It felt urgent at the time. Looking back, it was downright gentle. Today, the question isn’t whether your nonprofit should be fundraising online. It’s whether you’re doing it well enough — and fast enough — to keep up with how people live, connect, and give. Because while the tools have changed dramatically, the fundamentals haven’t.

A great donor retention strategy isn’t about doing more. It’s about designing an experience donors want to come back to. If that sounds familiar, it should. Streaming platforms figured it out years ago: keep people watching by giving them just enough payoff to feel good— and just enough anticipation to keep them curious. Nonprofits can apply the same thinking.

Traditional budgeting and forecasting methods can no longer keep pace with today’s rapidly evolving business environment. Static budgets, rigid annual forecasts, and outdated financial models limit an organization’s ability to adapt to market shifts and economic uncertainty.
