We’ve compiled 5 helpful resources to boost your fundraising: Giving Gap, Givebutter, #Give828, YOUNG BLACK & GIVING BACK INSTITUTE, and BackBlack, all working to close funding gaps across the sector.

Extremely misleading. Most of these people are giving to their own foundations, which are only required to dispense 5% of their assets each year. For example, if the Dells gave all of their $975M to their foundation (they didn't; their giving was split between their foundation and their DAF), the foundation is would only need to give out $48M. A better measurement of generosity is how much was given by these donors' foundations as a percentage of total assets and how much was unrestricted giving.

Friday is our first Nonprofit Spelunking webinar. We are talking about different roles in fundraising nonprofits, with Kailey Morin opening it up with comms and fundraisers, and I'll do the rest of the talk on the reason why there are so many operational roles required (even if they are all done by one person) including what they are and why they are so fundamentally important. ALSO save the date: April 17th the next webinar is going to be Interpreting Fundraising Metrics, which is a course I've done before on why tracking individual metrics can be problematic and what questions you can ask to get better context. If you want to get in on Friday's webinar, you have two options: 1) Go over to our event page and sign up: https://lnkd.in/gvAbWSby 2) Go over to https://lnkd.in/gqw4KsJY and sign up for our Webinars and More tier. Then you get access to ALL of our webinars (at least 6 per year). #fundraising #philanthropy #nonprofitoperations #fundraisingoperations #fundraisingmetrics #nonprofitlife

True fundraising isn’t just about asking for money; it’s about building relationships that last. 🤝 In "RE-IMAGINING PHILANTHROPY," Jimmy LaRose dives deep into what makes donors tick and how to inspire them to connect with your cause. It’s not simply about what your nonprofit aims to achieve; it’s about how you resonate with your supporters and articulate your mission. Trust is a vital ingredient that develops over time, and as LaRose highlights, it involves having meaningful conversations and consistent interactions. This book offers insights that can change the way you approach fundraising and empower you to cultivate those essential relationships. Let’s elevate our fundraising game and truly understand why donors choose to support us! Buy the book here: https://lnkd.in/gnVdv3X4 #NonprofitLeadership #Fundraising #Philanthropy

Are you “likable” enough to be a fundraiser? Being likable as a fundraiser goes beyond simply asking for donations; it's about building trust and rapport with donors. By genuinely connecting with them, understanding their motivations, and communicating effectively, fundraisers can foster positive relationships that lead to long-term support. Additionally, demonstrating the tangible impact of donations reinforces the trust donors place in the organization, making them more likely to continue supporting its mission. Overall, being likable as a fundraiser involves authenticity, empathy, and a commitment to making a meaningful difference in the lives of both donors and those the organization serves. #valuablevisits #philanthropy #majorgifts

In today's data-driven world, nonprofits are rediscovering the timeless effectiveness of storytelling. Health Leads, a Boston charity, emphasizes the transformative impact of individual stories alongside impressive numbers. Events like the "Nonprofit Storytelling Conference" underscore the growing recognition of storytelling's power in engaging audiences and inspiring generosity. Recognizing this trend, entities like the Rockefeller Foundation have invested in initiatives to equip nonprofits with storytelling tools and resources. Ultimately, stories have the power to move hearts, change minds, and drive impact. As Fran Benton of the Nurse-Family Partnership aptly puts it, "To reach and motivate people, you really have to speak to their hearts." Read full article here: https://lnkd.in/e8mTHhpb
