Nonprofit organizations may be feeling the need to take a stance on the metaverse and make decisions on meta-related activities, like accepting crypto donations. While the metaverse is still being built — and is so new that it’s hard to define exactly what it means — there’s a lot of marketing hype (and money) being wrapped up into it.

Does asking for a gift hurt donors? To hear some fundraisers and consultants talk, you might think it does. In fact, some folks in our industry seem to equate a direct mail fundraising appeal with a slap in the face by a very ripe kipper: rude, painful, odoriferous, and just plain uncalled-for. This is a faulty and insidious assumption. Worse yet, it's self-fulfilling.

After one reader told me the word “finagle” means “to obtain something by devious or dishonest means,” I sent an apologetic “Ruh Roh” email. I received a lot of forgiving feedback. Thank you! Many of you kindly supported my initial use of the word “finagle.” Apparently, there is more than one definition.

As the senior director of Insights at Candid, I often joke that half of my job is asking people to define their terms. The social sector is full of jargon, buzzwords, and abbreviations. It’s equally full of seemingly straightforward words that can mean many different things; for example, the term “year” can mean five different things when talking about nonprofit data i Defining “BIPOC-led” is a perfect example of these issues (BIPOC stands for Black, Indigenous, and People of Color ii ).
