Selfish Giving

The Fourth of July is over, but I'm still thinking about it because it really didn't happen here in Boston. The whole weekend was a disaster. We got five inches of rain and we set a new record low temperature for July 3rd. Don't get me wrong, the gahhden ?????? the rain , but did it have to fall on a holiday weekend??? Of course, events were cancelled due to weather.

Did you know as many as 81% percent of new donors don’t return to give again? And only 43% of all donors remain loyal? Do you know what your retention rates are or how to increase donor loyalty? The sorry state of donor retention has been a topic of discussion for at least the past decade, since the Fundraising Effectiveness Project Report began collecting data.

Consistently attracting new potential donors is vital for you to expand your mission and, more importantly, to have the funding needed to make it through unexpected times. Unfortunately, if you can’t have in-person events or if you don’t have a big marketing budget, finding new donors can be difficult. . This is why a fundamental shift in your approach to marketing, to fundraising, and even to your mission is needed.

As the world starts to open back up after the COVID-19 pandemic, now is an excellent time to re-imagine the various components of your organization and whether or not an in-person fundraising event makes sense. As stressful and unpredictable as the pandemic was, 2020 also pushed organizations to look at things in a new way and offered the opportunity to reconsider how business (or, in our case, fundraising) is done.

“Last year more than one million quarter-inch drills were sold – not because people wanted quarter-inch drills, but because they wanted quarter-inch holes.” This often-quoted concept by Theodore Levitt sums up exactly what your focus should be as a major gift officer (MGO). Donors want to solve problems. They do not want to hear all the wonderful things about your organization or process.

7% nonprofit board engagement is not enough! Do your nonprofit’s financial reports speak to the full board? Can everyone in management engage with them and understand key information? If your financial reports don’t go beyond numbers on a page, then they exclude almost all your leaders. . Fortunately, you can start turning that around with some good dashboards.

Not too long ago, a nonprofit pro asked in a social group what others would do to market and promote their organization with a limited budget. Interestingly, many of the answers involved investing in pre-recorded videos and photography with a professional photographer. While that might sound good in theory, is it indispensable to make that spend if a nonprofit has a small budget?

If you’re just getting started in the nonprofit world, you likely have a ton of questions surrounding effective practices and keeping your organization above board. One of the major aspects of running a new organization that many founders struggle with is getting on top of their taxes from the beginning. Unfortunately, there are a ton of myths out there surrounding nonprofit taxes, too—which can make the whole process even more convoluted.

Thinking about sending out a donor survey ? If so, be sure to use the survey responses properly so you ‘speak’ personally and relevantly to each individual respondent over time with ongoing cultivation. You’ve got to show ‘em that you know ’em! If you don’t do that, you could be causing harm. Our data has shown that supporters who take a survey but get no follow-up (or only continue to get the same old stuff one-size fits all junk) actually give less and sometimes even remove your or

It’s the single greatest enemy to nonprofit impact. Let’s face it: any precious time, energy, money, and other resources that don’t go toward positive world-change isn’t just a missed opportunity—it’s reinforcing false stereotypes that nonprofits are unequipped.
