Happy Mother’s Day to the incredible women who made us the people we are today.
In this chapter of “FUNDRAISING DOs & DON’Ts”, we will look at a handful of ways how Mother’s Day can strengthen your charity’s fundraising capacity.
In this chapter of “FUNDRAISING DOs & DON’Ts”, we will explore why and how relatively new and peppy volunteers who haven’t yet found their place within the charity are excellent candidates play the role as Ambassadors who get conversations started with donors.
Conversations with friends and colleagues who firmly believe that charity overhead should be as low as possible can be awkward and exhausting. Yet they can also be viewed as opportunities to advance the public’s understanding of how operating expense items directly affect the impact of an organization’s programs.
Do you feel awkward or uncomfortable thanking donors on behalf of your organization for their support? Simply include a “thank you” in conversations that you are already planning to have with donors. Here are three (3) types of conversations with donors where this tactic can be effectively employed.

In this installation of “FUNDRAISING DOs & DON’Ts”, we explore the relative importance of a pair of metrics that we tend to monitor when executing funding campaigns. One is an extraordinarily common variable that perhaps gets tracked too closely, while the other unequivocally demands more of our attention.
New and burgeoning charities often are continually in search of funding sources that cover core operating expenses. However, what many organizations fail to consider is how the strict rules and parameters imposed by core funders might limit the impact of their programs and threaten their future viability.
We are thrilled to introduce a catchy new weekly feature in our Sustainable Solutions Blog: “FUNDRAISING DOs & DON’Ts”. Each week, we will acquaint you with practices, methods and approaches that your charity, church, club or community group should absolutely embrace and avoid as a part of its fundraising plans. For our inaugural entry, we will discuss a pair of vital points regarding every charity’s donor relations strategies.
