5 Ways To Recession-Proof Your Nonprofit Lately, it’s hard to go more than a few hours—forget about a whole day—without being haunted by the joint specters of recession and inflation. We see the numbers at the gas pump and when we turn on the news. They insert themselves into small talk with co-workers at the water cooler. Or conversations with our partners and roommates about rising interest rates and rent hikes.

Have you ever wondered why some organizations succeed and others struggle? From for-profit companies to nonprofits of every size, one of the best indicators of high-performing organizations is a dedicated focus on creating a learning culture. Over the years, I’ve witnessed a deep correlation between an organization’s commitment to talent development and continuous learning and their employees’ connection to one another.

In reply to Emma Rodriguez. Clearly the majority of residents are ok with things, if the board is 15 yrs old. Boards are elected annually. Time for others (you maybe) to volunteer to run for elections and replace those you are talking about.

Everyone likes to feel appreciated and that includes your donors. In fact, thanking your donors should be a priority for your nonprofit organization. Is that the case? Often the answer is no. Thanking your donors is not just something you do after you receive a donation and then do nothing for a while. Gratitude is something you need to show all year round and with Valentine’s Day coming up, that’s a great opportunity to thank your donors and show them how much you appreciate their support.
Speaker: Tim Sarrantonio
The average nonprofit uses five or more different software platforms to create their donor’s journey, making the experience clunky and disjointed. If you want to design a magical online giving experience for donors, making their journey as seamless as possible is key. In this webinar with expert Tim Sarrantonio, you’ll learn the fundamental steps to create an immersive and personalized online giving experience for your donors.

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.

You’re probably familiar with the Ask, Thank, Report formula in fundraising. If not, you should be. Organizations that follow that tend to be more successful. It’s also referred to as Ask, Thank, Report, Repeat, because it’s something you need to keep doing. And what’s most important is to thank and report before you ask for another donation. Of course, formulas are good in theory, but you can’t just go through the motions.

Writing a thank you letter should be the easiest task on your to-do list. There are just two simple words: thank you. And these two simple words are so powerful, showing gratitude and making the donor feel valued. Yet, it can feel hard sometimes to write a good thank you letter. Maybe you don’t know what to write. Or where to start. You want your letter to sound sincere, not like a form letter.

It relates to the secret business your nonprofit is in. You may think you’re in (arts, healthcare, human services, environment, social justice, animal rescue, education or whatever) but, fundamentally, your core business is something else.

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.
