When you ask for a philanthropic gift you’re coming from a place of love , inviting donors to join you. .

Donors who just made a donation to your nonprofit during the end-of-year giving season might not think you need another donation from them so soon after they made their last gift. They also might have stretched their budgets for holiday gifts and travel and don’t have as much to give as they would during other times of year.

Nonprofits often receive donations or grants designated for a specific purpose–like a donation to a specific program or grant you have to spend within a calendar year. EXAMPLE: If you receive a donation that’s explicitly for purchasing computers for an afterschool program, you can’t use that money to buy office chairs. We call revenue from these sources restricted funds because you’re not free to use them however you please. .
