Selfish Giving

NOVEMBER 27, 2019

I've written before on how to turn your homepage into a lead-generating machine. You'll need an email pop-up and a service that pings you when a company visits your site (e.g. Leadfeeder, VisitorTrack, Leadberry ). The next step is to take a page from Wayfair's playbook. There was a report earlier this month that the online retailer was making unsolicited calls to customers while they were browsing the Wayfair website.

The elders in my family set high standards for what “hard work” felt and looked like. They subscribed to the adage that people of color (especially women of color) had to work “twice as hard” in business to prove themselves. I deeply respect my family’s wisdom. I credit them for my fierce work ethic, which fit right in with the “do more with less” mindset of nonprofit work, but as I rose through the ranks of nonprofit leadership, I wasn’t quite prepared for the toll it took on my mental, physica

Either way, we needs as many nonprofit communicators as possible to take the survey and help us shape the best picture for nonprofit communications in 2020!

“You can succeed best and quickest by helping others to succeed.”. I wasn’t frustrated. If anything, I was disappointed. “How could I forget that quote?” I thought to myself. I was sitting in our CEO’s office. He had prompted me with, “You remember what the first sentence in our employee handbook is, don’t you?”. It was roughly 8AM on a Monday morning.

I’m writing this on Tuesday, November 26, which is one week before Giving Tuesday 2019. I’m getting lots of “Save the Date” email messages from nonprofits. Some of them include soft asks about giving now, ahead of Tuesday. But some nonprofits are fully launching their fundraising campaigns well in advance of Giving Tuesday itself and using the day as the campaign deadline rather than as a campaign launch.
