Selfish Giving

MARCH 27, 2019

A big welcome to all of this month's new subscribers! I especially want to welcome all the new signups from Georgetown University's New Strategies Program and from Reading Partners' National Leadership Retreat. Last week, I flew coast to coast to, first, speak in Washington, D.C. at New Strategies and, second, to Oakland, California, to present at Reading Partners.

Franchise organizations are built on the foundation that there is power in a tribe. It's in the DNA of successful franchisor founders to empower their tribe of franchisees and customers to be the best brand evangelists in the world. Why is it then that many franchisors and franchisees shy away from social media and digital marketing in 2019? Many franchisors will state they are a big fan of digital and social.

This year’s featured online fundraising tools tap into emerging trends, such as Bitcoin and crowdfunding, but also utilize tried-and-true fundraising tactics such as tribute giving and e-cards. 2019 marks the 20-year anniversary of the release of the first “Donate Now” service and while some online fundraising pioneers envisioned the tools available today, for many the evolution of online giving, especially through social media, would have been unimaginable. 2039?

I’ve been doing a ton of research and thinking about social media strategies for nonprofits, especially those of you without dedicated social media staff, ahead of the two new webinars I am teaching in April: Social Media Strategies for Nonprofits that Won’t Waste Your Time. What is most likely to work regardless of the platform or future algorithm changes?

We’re on the forefront of what will be the greatest transition of nonprofit leadership in our lifetime. Over the next five to ten years, directorships of all kinds will be passed from retiring baby boomers to Gen Xers and millennials. It’s something we’ve written and talked about at length, both on this blog and in our podcast series What’s Next?

Mechanized thank you’s. I’ve been thinking that, perhaps, too many organizations have turned thanking into an automated obligation. They realize it’s something they’re supposed to do. So, they do it as cost-efficiently as possible. As a result, for many, their thank you’s have become one dimensional and aloof. That led me to wonder… should we really be thanking donors after all?

The quest is on to find the best nonprofit blogs. With apologies to amazing voices such as Vu Le and Beth Kanter (and the founder of Nonprofit Marketing Guide, Kivi Leroux Miller), this search doesn’t include those who write blogs about nonprofits. This is an effort to find great blogs produced by nonprofits themselves. Blogs have long been an important tool for nonprofits and foundations that are looking to engage their supporters, spread the word about their cause, spotlight supporters, and re

Did you have a grandmother or elderly aunt, uncle or friend? I did. Imagine if I sent mine letters and emails every once in a while. Imagine that those letters and emails told her how great I was. Imagine them also telling her that I really needed money for my future. Imagine them telling her that she should give me money. Also imagine if my letters and emails told her how she should have left me money in her will because, if she didn’t do that… the IRS would get it.
