Selfish Giving

JANUARY 29, 2019

I'm in major prep mode for Super Bowl LIII on Sunday. I have my New England Patriots shirt, hat and socks. I've stocked the pantry with munchies - both healthy and not. I've checked all the connections to my TV and made sure to pay my cable bill. And I've prepared a whole slew of biting comments if we win (and a few good retorts if we don't). I'll also have pen and paper nearby as I plan to keep track of all the cause ads in between plays.

No doubt the demands to build and maintain a profitable online social and digital platform to establish and grow your business is overwhelming. The demand for content in the form of visuals, video, audio and the list goes on is growing out of control. Plus, trying to keep up with the rate of innovation happening on the top social networks is a job in itself.

Whether your nonprofit seeks to expand its outreach, embark on a new project, or maintain the good work that you’re already doing, you need the significant support of major donors. Major donors make the largest contributions that your organization receives, so your organization will want to work hard to find them and retain their support. Donors who are capable of giving major gifts tend to prefer that your organization ask them for these significant contributions.

You tell me, is that what’s really holding back nonprofits from growth — their lack of machines to make decisions in place of their staff? The post Artificial Intelligence Is the Newest Shiny Object — Don’t Fall Prey appeared first on Fundraising Report Card.

Your donors made a commitment to your organization by giving to you. Are you making the same commitment to them? Donors have a choice. There are many nonprofits they could donate to, but they chose yours, along with others I’m sure. Donors can also choose to stop giving to your organization and this could happen if you shortchange them by not giving them the recognition and appreciation they deserve.

The challenge can be overwhelming for marketers to consistently create content that is fresh, relevant and provides real value to their audience, customers, and prospective customers. Because of this pressure, unfortunately many marketers fall to lazy marketing tactics. They quit creating their own content and start curating and sharing other helpful content from leaders in their industry.

Stay with me on this. Of course, you can’t expect to get money out of a piggy bank unless you first make deposits. That framework has resulted in positive outcomes for eons. That’s why you should treat your supporters like piggy banks! You, the fundraiser, must make deposits first. In other words, you need to be the one to give to your supporters first before you can expect to receive.

PLEASE NOTE: This article is not suggesting that if you suffer from depression or anxiety or other mental health issues that all you need is a mental health day to fix it. I struggle with depression and anxiety and it is an ongoing battle, I know. The purpose of this article is to help those who do not normally think about their mental health and remind those of us who already deal with issues to pay attention to signs we may be burning out and need a break from work.

If your end-of-year ‘interruption’ marketing results were not what you hoped for, perhaps my prediction about ‘ FUNDRAISING CLIMATE CHANGE ‘ ( in my book, Engagement Fundraising ) is finally coming true. I think supporters — especially lower-dollar donors — are finally fed up with being targeted and pummeled with emails, print mailers, and phone calls.
