Don’t think of yourself as a “fundraiser.” That sounds like it’s all about money. And money is one of the top taboo topics in our society. Think of yourself, instead, as a “ philanthropy facilitator.” That makes it about love. “Philanthropy” translated from the Greek literally means “ love (philos) of humanity (Anthropos).” . When you ask for a philanthropic gift you’re coming from a place of love , inviting donors to join you. .

Get Fully Funded

JANUARY 9, 2022

Drafting a fundraising plan can be intimidating, especially if it’s your first time and you have no fundraising plan structure. In other words, you have no format, no template, and no idea where to start. I get it. I’ve been there. But if you want to fully fund your nonprofit, you simply must have a plan. You can’t wing your way to success. I guarantee you that every nonprofit you see raising big bucks has a plan.

In-kind donations help your nonprofit get the resources you need to carry out your programs without asking for more cash. For this reason, they’re an invaluable tool in your fundraising toolkit. But accounting for in-kind donations presents its own unique challenges. Almost any non-cash gift to your nonprofit can be considered an in-kind donation, but most of them fall into one of two categories: goods or services. .

Traditionally, January isn’t a very lucrative month for fundraising. Why? Donors who just made a donation to your nonprofit during the end-of-year giving season might not think you need another donation from them so soon after they made their last gift. They also might have stretched their budgets for holiday gifts and travel and don’t have as much to give as they would during other times of year.

You may have heard the term “people first culture” here and there, but what does it really mean? Inc.com describes the term as the following: . “People-first cultures are rooted in a philosophy that values people over profits. The ironic twist is that when employees are valued as whole individuals and provided the opportunity for well-being, connection, and fulfillment, companies are generally more innovative, resilient, and even profitable.” .

I’ve been staying late at work this week, trying to be more attentive to my email inbox. It’s a busy season and I don’t have the luxury of untended-to messages.

Turning email into a game, I’ve tackled email in blocks of time at various points in the day: I have 10 minutes to work with… can I knock off five more emails?

One of the most common questions I get asked by organizations is how to find and win more grants. For most fundraisers, nonprofit grant writing is incredibly frustrating: in many cases, it seems like a roll of the dice. You spend hundreds of hours sending out grant proposals, praying that a few foundations will be interested in your work. Yet there are ways you can stack the deck in your favor and have more success with winning grant funding for your organization.

If you think fundraising is about schmoozing, please change your attitude quickly or leave the profession. Several times I’ve heard fundraisers say that they’re good at schmoozing or I’ve seen schmoozing happening in person, and it’s disgusting. The first definition when you Google schmooze: “talk with someone in a lively and friendly way, typically in order to impress or MANIPULATE them.” Pretending you care about someone or exaggerating how wonderful someone
