For those of you who have been readers for a while, I can see your eye balls rolling.??I know. I say this all the time! It's kind of become my mantra. For newbies, welcome to what I call audience-centric fundraising. Now, when I say build an audience , many of you will think of events, which are generally excellent for building an audience.

Last night, I was watching an old episode of The Office (US version) that brought a common non-profit problem to mind. In this episode , Michael is getting chided (over the phone) by the corporate office for spending too much money holding office parties. After listing a number of events the Scranton branch has hosted over the past year, the voice on the other end of the line say, incredulously, “You held a tsunami-relief fundraiser that lost money…” To which Michael replies,

Fundraising is filled with things that seem to make sense, but don't. One of those areas is when it comes to thanking donors. When we thank donors, we think we need to prove to them that we did great work. So we fill our donor newsletters with. Statistics (we fed X many people). Staff accomplishments (our staff earned these certificates). and awards (we received this amazing recognition).

The tactical strategy for your fundraising should not be random, and it shouldn’t be based on a “we’ll figure this out as we go along” mentality. Your best bet to ensure maximum revenue is to lay out a tactical fundraising calendar as part of your overall fundraising plan. A tactical calendar, as its name suggests, is simply a calendar that shows when your non-profit will employ each of the fundraising tactics it is planning to use in a given year.

Much of nonprofit marketing and communications success is about finding and maintaining your balance. Think of it as walking a fine line. If you venture too far to the left or the right away from that line, you’ll end up struggling in several different ways. You could burn out, or not get good results, or end up in difficult relationships with coworkers.

I like to emphasize the importance of keeping in touch with your donors throughout the year. During the pandemic, this has become more important than ever, even though it may be harder due to everything that’s going on. Your donors want to hear from you and don’t just want to be blasted with fundraising appeals. The good news is that better donor communication (thank yous and updates) can help you raise more money.

Is there any more depressing word in the fundraiser’s lexicon than “no”? It means all of your efforts, research, and cultivation will not be resulting in a gift from this prospect. Often, it means explaining to your boss, or to a referring board member, that no, you were not able to secure a donation, and no, the donor does not want to think about it… they outright declined.

Heck, I’ve even written a handbook on a certain kind of fundraising event. So… I’m not one of those “fundraising events aren’t worth the effort” snobs. Still, it makes me cringe when I’m talking with a non-profit about some fundraising difficulties they are having, or some new program they want to launch, and everyone agrees
