For most fundraising events , the majority of your money should be raised through sponsorships. Without a strong focus on sponsors, your event will not reach its true potential. If you are setting an ambitious fundraising goal for your event, it will be far easier to reach that goal if you can raise 50%+ of the revenue from large sponsors than if you are trying to raise 100% through individual ticket sales.

I’m often asked by the communications directors I coach about the relationship they should have with their nonprofit’s board of directors. Should they attend meetings? What marketing metrics should go in a board report? If they get 10 minutes with the board at a meeting, how should they spend that time? Should they have a marketing and communications committee and, if yes, what would they do?

Have you noticed that when talking about diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in fundraising , the conversation frequently mentions the lack of suitable candidates of color? I’ve heard that to be a major gift officer you have to have access to people with money, be comfortable socializing with them, and speak their language. The implication is that these qualities are not so readily found in applicants of color. .

Today (March 24), is Equal Pay Day. Although it may sound like a holiday, it is not a day of celebration. Instead, it is a day to increase awareness that we are not all paid equally for our labor. Specifically, Equal Pay Day symbolizes how far into the year a woman must work (on average) to receive the same wage that a man received the previous year—i.e., this year, women had to work almost three months into 2021 to make the same salary that their male counterparts took home in 2020.

When you’re determining who to cultivate for your major donor portfolio, do you simply look at everyone who gave more than $1,000 (or whatever your major gift amount is) and dump them all into your portfolio for the year? I confess: I used to do that. I didn’t know any better. No one taught me. I was making it up as I went along. . My unenlightened “strategy” looked a bit like an Oprah Winfrey car give-away.
