Here are 10 ways to ensure that your board is properly educated and empowered in its role and that it stays out of daily operations.

This is SO true. When I was trained as a field canvasser, we typically only took the third no, but that was cold-calling for much smaller gifts than I ask for today. I recently got a no for our major donor program and after probing a bit found out there were other similar groups this donor was already invested in, but that they truly appreciated what we were doing and how our work was different.

Last week, my wife and I stopped by a local restaurant to pick up some takeout. Like most places we visit now, the cashier asked us to pay via a slick payment screen on the counter. After tapping the screen with her credit card, she was prompted to leave a tip, which she did. As we walked back to the car with our food, I asked why she had left a tip.

Running one of the 1.5 million non-profit organizations in the United States can be fulfilling and meaningful. It can also bring significant risk of loss exposures.

One of the biggest red-herrings I see nonprofit boards pursue is a pipe dream of “self sufficiency” for their nonprofit. Rather than pursuing their mission, the board directs the executive director to look at selling things and renting things in a quixotic attempt to be financially independent. It’s as though they see fundraising as a “stop gap” solution.

Does your organization have a vision statement or vision in mind? One of the greatest dangers facing nonprofits is not economic, generational, or even legal…it’s the gradual drift into complacency. The work becomes a collection of tasks rather than a force for good. It’s the same for any industry or profession, but in the field of cause work, the risk and potential loss are significant because the risk is shared not only by the organization’s team but by the community they serve.

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.

Worried about what AI might do to your career or fundraising? (My take: Don’t worry, it might be a useful tool for some , inexperienced fundraisers may misuse it, but that doesn’t really change anything. ) Then I saw this: It’s on a piece of direct mail fundraising. The blurred-out part is the recipient’s real name. Okay, pretty cool way to grab a reader’s attention, right?
