Fundraising isn't just about raising money one time. If it were, we could sell t-shirts. Fundraising is about connecting values - the values of donors with the values of your cause. Sure, there are times when we just need the transactional. We need to pay the bills. But when all we do is transactional, we have to keep looking for new people to ask. Our work is transformed when we engage in the deeper, far more rewarding, process of getting to know our donors and finding out what they value.

How to start a corporate philanthropy program. A guest post by Kara Whittaker about how you can start a corporate giving program. Many workplaces combine a unique approach to giving back to communities—perhaps encouraging volunteer days at work, for example, or even matching giving to certain charities or within certain limits. It’s a great way for companies to promote both corporate culture and values, as well as support the community.

The nonprofit annual report is a mixed bag. Organizations do need to share accomplishments and show gratitude to their donors, but many annual reports are done poorly. They’re often too long, boring, and basically a demonstration of the organization patting itself on the back. There’s often very little appreciation for donors. It’s also time consuming to put together, even when we’re not in a pandemic.

Many people in our sector answer this question by describing what I think of as communications: Creating and distributing content to people about the nonprofit and its issues. But marketing is more strategic than that. So here’s how I explain it: Nonprofit marketing is using communications to build relationships that help you change the world.
