What do a vineyard and a comprehensive fundraising plan have in common? Well, a lot. During a morning walk today, I looked at the dormant grapevines and noted that the grape harvest is more than six months away. That's a long time. 📅 In the Autumn, all the hard work done in many months preceding the harvest.... the pruning, the watering, the fertilizing, pays off when it's time to pick the juicy grapes off the vine. So too, with a fundraising plan. A lot needs to happen in the lead-up to a big campaign to bear fruit 🍇 (sorry, I couldn't help myself with the pun).  Here at CauseMatch, we talk to the non-profits we work with about the Ask, Thank, Report method. Most organizations do the asking and thanking very well. The reporting back to a donor about what an organization has been able to accomplish since the donor gave is where some organizations fall short. There are a lot of creative ways to report back to a donor over the course of a year to keep them engaged and excited to participate in the next "harvest." As a donor to an organization that's close to your heart, how do you like to be kept in the loop? ❓ #nonprofits #fundraising

Urgent: Unfair Treatment at International Expo Seafood 2024 Dear Sir/Madam, I hope this email finds you well. I am writing to express my deep concern and disappointment regarding the unfair treatment experienced by Wrigcoll Enterprise Inc. at the International Expo Seafood 2024 event. As an organization dedicated to serving our community through charitable initiatives, it was disheartening to witness the disregard shown towards us, particularly in contrast to the preferential treatment given to larger entities such as the Greater Boston Food Bank (GBFB). Despite our longstanding commitment to philanthropy, highlighted by our recognition as an Amazon Charity Spotlight recipient since 2019, we were marginalized and overlooked at the event. It is especially troubling considering that we provided support in 2023.The absence of the GBFB, coupled with Diversified Communications' apparent bias against international seafood in favor of other exhibitors, further exacerbated our sense of exclusion.What adds insult to injury is the fact that I have personal connections with the staff at GBFB, including Brian and Food For Free over 5 years, whom I have assisted during my time at FOOD FOR FREE.As an Afro-American individual leading a team of urban neighbors in Boston, many of whom fall outside the GBFB's umbrella, I am acutely aware of the challenges faced by marginalized communities in accessing essential resources. At Wrigcoll Enterprise Inc., we operate on a modest budget, striving to make a meaningful difference in the lives of those in need. However, our efforts were unfairly overshadowed by larger organizations with significantly greater financial resources. This disparity not only undermines our mission but also perpetuates systemic inequalities within our community. Furthermore, it is important to note that participating in events such as the International Expo Seafood 2024 entails significant financial investments on our part. The resources expended to prepare for this annual event represent a substantial portion of our operating budget, making the unfair treatment we received all the more detrimental to our organization's sustainability. It is particularly distressing to learn that potential donors who approached us with offers of support were redirected or discouraged from contributing to our cause by individuals like Brian and Sara. This unjust interference not only deprives us of much-needed resources but also undermines the trust and goodwill we have diligently cultivated over the years.In light of these troubling developments, I urge you to address these issues promptly and transparently. It is imperative that all participants in charitable endeavors are afforded equal opportunities to make a positive impact, regardless of their size or financial standing.I appreciate your attention to this matter and look forward to a constructive resolution that upholds the principles of fairness and inclusivity. Sincerely, https://lnkd.in/ewnzwkkV
