It’s hard to believe we’re halfway through 2025. It’s been a tumultuous year so far, especially in the U.S. The midpoint of the year is a good time to see if you’re meeting your fundraising and communications goals. For this post, I’m assuming your fiscal year is the same as the calendar year. If you’re on a different fiscal cycle, you can make the appropriate time adjustments.

Most partnership teams are sleeping on one of their best lead-gen assets: their corporate partnership web page. Let's be honest: Most of you don't even have a corporate partnership web page on your site! We should correct that ASAP. It's sad because it's a missed opportunity. But don't just take my word for it. Listen to Andy Crestodina of Orbit Media Studio , one of the smartest guys I know in website design.

I have worked for many nonprofit organizations over the past 30 years. Their balance sheets were all very different; some had endowments of more than $20 million, and others were figuring out their payroll from month to month. But there was always one similarity they shared — almost all their planning and board dialogue centered around how to grow fundraising.

Trust is one of the most essential elements of effective grantmaking. It’s also one of the hardest to practice fully. After more than 30 years in youth development and philanthropy, including 25 at the Charles Hayden Foundation (CHF), I’ve come to believe that to have a meaningful impact with our grantees, trust has to show up in how we work—how we listen, fund, and maintain relationships.

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.

When fundraising teams struggle, leaders often respond with new strategies: restructured portfolios, new databases, more metrics, more meetings. But often, the missing ingredient isn’t strategic—it’s emotional. Fundraising success doesn’t begin with systems. It begins with people. And people flourish under emotionally intelligent leadership. If you want to build a team that raises more and burns out less, it’s time to rethink how you lead—and that starts with empathy, self-awareness, and trust.
Speaker: Gareth Webb & Phil Selley, Founding Partners at Intouch Business
For many nonprofit organizations and NGOs, managing grants and monitoring projects with spreadsheets and manual processes feels familiar—but is it holding your organization back? As funding requirements become more complex and stakeholder expectations for transparency grow, relying on outdated methods can lead to inefficiencies, missed opportunities, and compliance risks.

Does the following scenario sound familiar? Your nonprofit implements a program, through which you gather valuable data and insights about the problem you’re trying to solve and the solutions that work (or don’t). But then you ask yourself: How can I share what I’ve learned with others in the field? Your findings may prove essential in developing effective solutions—but only if others are able to access that information and learn from your experience.

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. To stay ahead, finance leaders must leverage a future-forward approach—one that leverages real-time data, predictive analytics, and continuous planning to drive smarter financial decisions.

These conversations often center on concerns that the growing cohort of big bet funders, including Lever for Change, are unwittingly encouraging mission creep and unsustainable growth among nonprofits that might be better off with smaller budgets and ambitions.
