Every nonprofit has a Board of Directors. Yet most people don’t understand exactly what the Board’s job is. And this is a problem. You see, it means that hundreds of people are sitting on nonprofit Boards and have NO IDEA what they said “yes” to. It’s surprising. And concerning. Unfortunately, there’s no “Board School” to send people to when they join a Board, so new members just do the best they can, following the lead of seasoned Board members.

Today a friend, who serves on the board of a struggling local arts organization, asked me what they can do to increase their fundraising. I asked her a few questions; then answered simply: “Have more conversations with people; make more friends.” You see, they have people who know about them but they’re just not giving. They have donors, but they’re not giving enough.

If your nonprofit has a dedicated blog writer or writing team, it’s worth ensuring they are trained in basic search engine optimization (SEO) writing strategies. Keyword research is arguably the most important part of SEO, so it’s important that your writer understands it to get the most out of their efforts. The most effective keyword research begins with a high-quality platform, which is why a little product research can go a long way.

Disaster! We put in the work. We put in the planning. We carefully execute each step in the cultivation process. We thoughtfully craft and stage the fundraising ask. And, finally, we get the answer. And the answer is … “No.” What do we feel? Disappointment? Devastation? Self-doubt? This emotional experience is all too common for fundraisers. And it’s bad.

It can be difficult to know how to support employees who are grieving or experiencing grief as the result of a loved one dying. Done insensitively and without forethought and training, managers and colleagues can come across as uncaring and even complicit in a conspiracy of silence that deprives people of the support that work can offer in times of mourning.

Issue 222 — February 20, 2023 I love this phrase from Susan Wojcicki’s letter , announcing she is stepping down as CEO of YouTube: “It’s an incredibly important time for Google — it reminds me of the early days — incredible product and technology innovation, huge opportunities, and a healthy disregard for the impossible.” (Emphasis mine). It takes people who “have a healthy disregard for the impossible” to create new possibilities that lead to new realities.
