Some donors may only be able to give a nickel per day. Then goes to a dime, to a quarter, to a dollar. If you are patient — and thank them, steward them and engage them — you’ll be able to ask them for extra gifts, special projects and upgrade them to higher levels.

I feel like fundraising has changed a lot in the 15 years I’ve been in it, in the beginning it was a career that highlighted skills like thoughtfulness, graciousness, elegant communication. It was a beautiful career for women. Now I feel like I need to become a dude to do this job. I don’t like how it feels. Could you write an article on how to vibe in your feminine energy in order to attract what your organization needs?

What’s the difference between messages you get for Cyber Monday, Black Friday, political candidates, and Giving Tuesday? Unfortunately, it seems like not a whole lot, and many of them look like spam. According to the Giving Tuesday website, “Giving Tuesday is a global generosity movement unleashing the power of radical generosity.” In theory, that sounds nice, but in reality, it’s a day when nonprofit organizations unleash an onslaught of transactional fundraising appeals by email and social med

The Gates Foundation, the nation’s largest private foundation, is well known for its proclivity to “swing for the fences,” with mixed results (more success in global health, less success in US education).

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 As funding requirements become more complex and stakeholder expectations for transparency grow, relying on outdated methods can lead to inefficiencies, missed opportunities, and compliance risks.

Amy – great and relatable lessons learned! To add to the list… I would advise, especially in a first meeting with a potential major donor: ‘take money off the table’ in your mind as you prepare for the visit; remember most people don’t get married on the first date — apply that logic as you get to know someone; play the long game.

Whenever I finish a case study for a client, I remind them this is only the first draft, meaning the case study should evolve and adapt to different prospects. This makes clients nervous because while they are happy to hire me to write the case study, they don't want to rely on me to make every change. So, I've been exploring how the free version of ChatGPT can help my clients update the case studies independently.

That’s because you’ve also probably received mixed messages about nonprofits and debt. Nonprofits aren’t often encouraged to take on debt.
