As your nonprofit starts to blossom, don’t be surprised if you are conflicted over how much to spend on nonprofit administration, especially fundraising. Obviously, donors want as much of their donation as possible to go to your programs, to help change lives. But you have to spend some money on running your nonprofit. And fundraising. You may find yourself spending money on the tech tools.

First, the surge in storytelling. Five or ten years ago, it seemed like everyone in fundraising suddenly started talking about storytelling. Books were written, conferences were launched, and webinars were delivered. Tons of vendors serving nonprofits began to write blog posts instructing fundraisers to learn how to tell better stories. This included fundraising consultants, software providers, and so on (never mind whether they knew what they were talking about).

The reason I’m going to give you guidelines, instead of just giving you an answer, is because there is no hard and fast rule.

The willingness to give money isn't what causes online donations to fail, as you might think. Would it surprise you to know they fail due to a poor user experience? Not only many nonprofits don’t pay enough attention to the checkout process, but they also redirect visitors to third-party payment solution sites. The result? A loss of trust and donations.
