Selfish Giving

Who are your Perfect Partnership Prospects (PPP)??? Do you have a list of them that you refer to often? Are you creating content specifically for them to get them on board? Are you connecting with other people within the company so you have multiple touch points?

By M.J. Prest. SEYLLOU, AFP, Getty Images Since 2013, smallholders in Senegal have been learning farming practices adapted to climate changes. A $1.4 billion Gates Foundation grant will expand such climate-related help across sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia.

At any given moment, nonprofit boards are faced with juggling multiple opposing forces. Boards are excited to charge ahead with the organization's work but at the same time required to continually adapt to change, moved by urgency but hesitant about severely limited capacity, ambitious yet stymied by limited resources. It may feel as if there is never a clear path to follow.

An RFP, or a request for proposals, is a process disguised as a document. While an RFP may look like a regular document with a list of things to do and brainstorm, an effective one breaks down a project (usually a big one) into parts and set out dates and milestones to get that project done. Nonprofits are not alone in using the RFP—here at Prosal , I’ve spent the last two years talking to people in finance, health care, and municipalities about RFPs.

Restricted giving doesn’t sound like a good thing, just from the sound of it. The idea of restricting anything, especially giving, doesn’t seem like it could be the best course of action. But as it turns out, not only are restricted gifts something every nonprofit should be offering to their major donors and prospects because it is good service, but they result in more revenue, and bigger gifts.
