In my 37 years of fundraising and marketing for nonprofits, I have had conflicted feelings about the 'Gala Fundraising Events' held by many small and large nonprofits. The conflict is plain to see. You have on one hand the nonprofit that is always expressing its urgency to donors and prospects to raise more money to meet growing needs to fulfill its Mission. Then, on the other hand you have the same nonprofit promoting and selling tickets and sponsorships to luxurious gala events that are costly of both money and time to hold. As a nonprofit leader and Board members, seriously consider more casual and less costly events than galas, that would very possibly be better attended and attract more sponsors, but would better represent your nonprofit and raise more in net revenue. Ask yourself, "Would our major donors and corporate sponsors be as inclined to attend a 'blue jeans backyard barbecue' as they would a black tie gala event? #fundraising #fundraisingevents #nonprofits #galas

Hey, fam! It's #TipOfTheWeek time. 🎟️ As you promote fundraising events like galas, concerts, or sporting fundraisers, it's crucial to avoid advertising ticket purchases as tax-deductible "donations." Here's why: Under IRS rules, amounts paid for admission to events aren't considered charitable contributions if the donor receives something of value in return. This includes Entry to the event itself, food, entertainment, and other benefits received. Because attendees get something tangible for their money, ticket costs cannot be treated as fully tax deductible "quid pro quo" donations. #NonprofitTips #TaxDeductible #Donations #501c3

Working with celebrities can offer charities and campaign-oriented organisations many benefits for increased profile, media opportunities and raised income. But it can also carry some risk. Becky Slack, Agenda co-director, offers some advice for those working with a celebrity or thinking about making the move. https://lnkd.in/eWWVNY6w #WorkingWithCelebrities #SettingTheAgenda #media #crisiscomms #charities #campaigns

THIS! It's so true. It's awful to deal with. We all have to do it quite a lot 😂 . We have also all lost good prose this way, usually before learning how to mitigate! Hats off to the funders who don't do this, there are a fair few of them too. I tried once to constructively suggest to a funder that it would be better if it were possible to print the whole thing (either on completion or beforehand... both ideally) - or at least screenshot (impossible as most of the question boxes were smaller than the total answers, so you can't ever read the whole thing on the screen) so you could add it all to a PDF and check it over, rather than copy pasting every question/ answer over 17 pages or so. Or at least to provide an editable doc with all the questions on so that every single org didn't have to spend half an hour copy pasting them all. Anyway, It was a no. Ahh well. But there is a cost. Even if e.g. only 150 people apply for one pot... that's everyone having to do that... that's two working weeks of sector time used JUST mitigating their application system.

Charity managers are keeping lots of balls in the air whilst also considering the needs of many different groups of people 🤹 #Volunteers are one of those groups, and some would say the most important. Afterall, without their #Volunteers many charities (us included!) would not be able to provide the support and services that do! Our website hosts a variety of resources to help charities manage their volunteers, from recruitment, selection and induction through to supporting volunteers and measuring their impact. 😇 Find out more about how you can support your volunteers https://ow.ly/78uE50R3cy6 #35YearsOfImpact #CharityManagementMonth
