We had such a great book club meeting last week talking about the book Fanocracy ! Did you miss it? You can watch the replay here. Now it's time to pick our next book! ?? We have three new books that nicely capture the zeitgeist of the moment. I'm looking forward to having a powerful conversation about one of them. My pick was White Fragility. I really encourage you to visit Amazon and read the descriptions for each book and a few reviews before making your pick.

Time over time, we’ve seen what nonprofit communities can do when we rally together to support a cause. As large donors tighten their spending, you may be wondering how to get charity donations during a global pandemic.

When we entered the pandemic lockdown here in the United States, nonprofits were rightly concerned about potentially plummeting donations. Those of us who'd been in fundraising through disasters and economic downturns, knew there'd be an initial spike in giving. But based on our past experiences, we expected that spike to be short lived. Well, I'm pleased to say, donors are proving us wrong.

Did 2020 just chew up your communications plan and spit it out? Or did you even have a concrete plan to begin with? You aren’t alone either way. Lots of nonprofits had to either throw their plan out once the pandemic hit or they have been winging it for as long as they can remember anyway. But you won’t get the results you want from your communications program without getting your goals, strategies, objectives, and tactics all worked out.

This question comes up regularly on webinars and in Facebook Groups: What kinds of photos work best in fundraising, and must they be “sad” photos? By “sad” we mean photos where people or animals look visibly upset, hurt, sad, or otherwise clearly in need of assistance.
