I have so many hats. Not the metaphorical, "I wear lots of hats" phrase common in nonprofits, but literal hats. Because for years, I put on and attended fundraising events. Now I rarely recommend an event for fundraising as I know the value of relationship-based fundraising. That said, many folks still ask about whether they should keep their events. Here is my answer: ask your donors. Do not ask all attendees of your event. Ask the humans that actually make the decisions to donate. Put together a simple 4 minute survey and send to the people who have shown care for your mission and capacity to give. They'll tell you what they would respond to, and you can balance that with the needs of your organization. Want help?

Set a clear end date for your fundraiser to spur action among potential donors. Procrastination is common, but a deadline encourages timely contributions. By providing a sense of urgency, you motivate supporters to participate in your memorial brick campaign. #FundraisingTips

As you engage with nonprofits, consider exploring innovative strategies to recruit volunteers who resonate with your mission. Angelique Barthel with Variety - the Children's Charity of Illinois graciously shared insights on their volunteer recruitment efforts. Look for individuals who possess a genuine passion for supporting your mission. While skills can be acquired, the heart to make a difference is indispensable. Encourage potential volunteers to dig into local needs, identify fundraising opportunities, and commit their time to your cause. Remember, building a strong volunteer team takes time, but it's essential, especially for small organizations. By attracting individuals who share your excitement for the cause, you'll strengthen your organization and amplify your impact in the community.

Thanks to F&P (Fundraising & Philanthropy) for running this important piece in the lead up to #FundraiserAppreciationDayAU. Was a real honour to write it in tandem with Sally Shepherd from Fundraising Institute Australia & Tessa Irwin CFRE EMFIA from APN. “Celebrating fundraisers helps to attract new talent to the field. As the need for charitable support grows, so does the demand for skilled fundraisers. Highlighting their successes and contributions can inspire others to join the profession and see it as a career path. This is particularly important given the current economic climate, where the cost-of-living crisis has exacerbated the need for charitable services. “We need more passionate individuals who are willing to take on the challenge of fundraising. By celebrating those who are already making a difference, we can inspire the next generation. As we navigate the challenges and opportunities of the current economic landscape, the role of fundraisers will only become more critical.” Remember to take the time this Friday (July 5th) to thank those building the essential resources to help our for purpose sector thrive. https://lnkd.in/gaxKk4bB
