Major donors make a major impact on your nonprofit, but it can be a bit scary to ask major donors for a donation. If you’re new to major donor work, you know what I mean. You’re probably asking for an amount that’s a stretch for you and it’s going to bring up all kinds of personal issues for you, especially if you have a negative mindset around money or wealthy people.

I read somewhere once that the worst mistake you can make while presenting is to yawn. Yawns are contagious, and nothing makes an audience sleepier than to see that you are fighting not to slip into unconsciousness. . So, how does that translate to the Zoom Room? I can hide a yawn by turning off my camera, but that is the very thing I want to avoid.

Casablanca is one of my favorite movies. I’ve seen it many, many times and I always discover something new in that wonderful script. This year it turns 80 and with a few exceptions, it’s still very relevant now. Over the past several years, the story of refugees fleeing Europe mirrored what was going on in other parts of the world. Now we have a new set of refugees and the storyline of the Germans invading France parallels what’s going on in Ukraine.
