Most fundraisers agree that you won’t achieve serious growth without first investing in fundraising. But how do you actually persuade the board to invest? In this podcast episode I talk to the experienced fundraising leader, Adam Heuman. In three separate charities, of varying sizes, Adam has asked the board to invest, and all three times his request has been successful. We talk about what holds many fundraising directors back from even exploring the issue, and why Adam feels it’s so important to address it. He explains the particular things he does when he prepares. Using stories from across his career, Adam explains the crucial question he always asks the board; the tempting mistake he once made which was a complete waste of time and why it’s usually right to start the process even if you don’t yet know all the answers.

In fundraising there is no such thing as a small fish. All fish are the same size. Each dollar is entrusted to you to do right by. In this episode of my podcast we chat about the leaky bucket - we get new donors at all levels and we let them slip away. What if we brought joy to all our donors? No leaky bucket. Listen to Allison Fine speak with joy, humor and boundless energy about this topic and about the innovative organization she runs, Every.Org. #fundraising, #leadership #fundraisingstrategy #donorretention https://lnkd.in/ebDtuTaN

This shout-out made my week 😍😍 I had just finished episode 6 of One Day (I read the book while in Guatemala and HAD to watch it of course) when I saw this email notification pop up from Sabrina Walker Hernandez, MPA with a short and sweet message. She let me know she had mentioned my most recent episode of the Just Be Cause Podcast "Preparing for a Successful Peer-to-peer Campaign Launch" in her weekly newsletter. (Tune in here: http://rb.gy/1a10uu) Why did this make my week? Because I never asked Sabrina to shout me out. Because she chose to lift me up with her network. Because she TOLD ME she did, bringing me joy. You see, as nonprofit consultants, we might see each other as being "in competition", kind of like nonprofits with similar causes. But instead, what if we did like Sabrina, and shouted each other out? Lifted each other up? And supported each other in this very challenging space? Just imagine how much impact that could have on the sector! So, now it is my time to shout out loud and clear that Sabrina made my week and she is awesome. If you're looking for some great resources, check out her weekly newsletter "Here's The Tea Nonprofit Report": https://lnkd.in/gcSVaZAZ #CollaborationOverCompetition #Nonprofits #NonprofitNews #Shoutout #BestEmail 

I recently had the chance to provide consultation on podcasts and share tips for PR pitching, all for a charitable cause. Even though it's not my main area of expertise, spreading knowledge, tools, and effective methods for a good cause is always a rewarding experience. It feels great to use my skills to help others. Hopefully, this will inspire you to share your own knowledge more often. I'm excited to have more opportunities to contribute in the future! #charityconsultation #PRpitching #podcasttips

Many nonprofit founders dive headfirst into fundraising without a strategic plan for long-term, consistent funding. 🤷🏿♀️ In my latest podcast episode, I conclude the series Nonprofit Success Roadmap...Stage seven. It focuses on building a sustainable nonprofit that can continue serving its mission over time. You can start strong, build community trust, and become an invaluable resource. However, if you rely solely on self-funding or inconsistent funding sources, you ultimately do your community a disservice. 👎🏿 At some point, the money will run out, forcing you to close your doors. Your community then loses access to the vital services and support you provided. The world desperately needs nonprofits and the problem-solving efforts of passionate founders like you. But good intentions alone won't keep your doors open forever. Stage seven lays out strategies for developing a sustainable revenue model through diversified funding streams, strong financial management, and a funding plan directly tied to your programmatic goals and budget. So, don't let a lack of foresight derail your nonprofit's potential for lasting impact.
