Hey everyone! If you're on the fence about going to DynamicsCon LIVE 2024 in May, maybe 15% will help sway? Or you're going and just haven't registered and looking for a sweet little discount? Use discount code JustinMVP15 and register. It works for everyone. https://lnkd.in/dS2pTZq4 FYI, I get no kickbacks on this. I just want good attendance as it justifies my donated time the more people attend :-) and the more people attend and I get to talk to, the more we learn together which is the most important thing. There is a goal for 2000 ppl to be in attendance. Pretty exponential growth! #MsDynAx #MSDyn365 #msdyn365bc #msdynamics365 #msdyn365fo

Question for those in the Non-Profit space that travel often: how frequently are you or someone on your team having to modify or cancel your travel arrangements due to last minute changes? In those instances, you're still having to pay for those unused nights, right? What would it mean to your organization to have the flexibility to cancel, modify or shorten any booking, only having to pay for the nights you actually stay and getting the funds back for the ones you don't?

This may be the most helpful advice EVER.  4 simple ‘rules’ to follow.  Don't lose your donors Use your current donors to get new donors Get as much money from your donors as possible, without breaking rule #1 Do it as efficiently as possible This is adapted from Horst Schulze 4 Rules for Business.  I think they apply perfectly for fundraising.  What do you think?  Leave a comment below.

We hear it often - start with why. However, we can't just start with it. We have to carry it with us in every conversation along the way. Otherwise, we risk the chance we will sightly 'bend' to accept that donation, to partner with that organization that doesn't quite align with us, or to say yes to the things that seem promising only to realize we have confused our passion - what feels good in the moment - with our purpose - what is at the core of why we are doing anything in the first place. It's so to get off track and not stand on the foundational purpose of our work or our calling. Next week, I will be speaking at the CLA Outcomes Conference on not only 'starting with why' from an organization's perspective, but also understanding the 'why not' of your potential donor and how your purpose is a key part (but not the only part) of the equation to reach the purpose of your audience. I hope to see you there! #outcomes #startwithwhy #CLA24 Christian Leadership Alliance https://lnkd.in/e8zKDSc2

**Embracing the Charitable Assumption** A line from the book I’m currently reading, *Unreasonable Hospitality* by Will Guidara, has been on my mind lately: "Make the charitable assumption." This simple yet powerful idea encourages us to always assume the best in people even when they aren’t behaving well. In our daily interactions, whether at work, with friends, or in our communities, approaching each situation with kindness and understanding can make a world of difference. By making the charitable assumption, we create a more supportive and compassionate environment where everyone feels valued and respected. Let's strive to build a culture where empathy and generosity are at the heart of everything we do. Together, we can make our world a better place for everyone. #PositiveCulture #Empathy #CommunityFirst #UnreasonableHospitality

Event managers - Did you know? One out of every three rooms is booked outside the room block. I've heard the argument over and over as to why room blocks still exist and are in fact considered best practice for an event. But guess what. There is a new mousetrap. Way less risky and still serving your event attendees. In fact, they get to choose the property according to their own criteria (brand, price, location, need for multiple bedrooms) AND every transaction benefits your charity of choice. We act as a sponsor of every event where you use the TravelingToGive tool. Want to learn more? First read this article. I'd love to hear your thoughts.
