Nonprofit Solutions 4 organizations: strategic planning, leadership training, & annual giving fundraising best practices. Cost effective donor engagement & web-based fund development system 4 year-end direct mail.
Annual Giving: March Week One Fundraising and Story are intertwined. You can't have a good annual giving fundraising program without story. Here is the formula you should use to think about story. - The Community has a Problem - Your Organization has a Solution - The only way to Implement is with Donor Gifts Community Problem- Organization Solution- Donor Gifts to implement. To identify the Community Problem that your organization addresses- look to the vision statement. Chances are pretty good that the problem your organization is solving is the opposite of your vision. Your Organization Solution is the programs you run to address the problem. Now you need to combine this into a story. To begin this process, you need to grab a notebook and go sit in a high traffic area of your organization. Use the notebook to write down what you observe. These notes are going to form the foundation of your story. You will use the story two ways: 1) To Report: this is what you did in your impact piece. You reported back to donors about the impact their gifts made: you offered proof that your organization implemented a solution towards solving a community problem. 2) Discuss the Future: this is showing what could happen, in the future, with additional gifts to the organization. Maybe you can start a new program, expand a current offering, or maybe you just need to keep doing what you are doing. Think about your notes. Think about the impact your organization is making. The Future Impact Story is going to become the foundation of your annual giving case for support. It will power your appeal letters. Let me know what you learn about your organization. I would love to hear about the notes you took. We are digging deep. This is important work. Stick with it, getting a good story will make a huge difference in your annual giving program.

If we say it matters, we give it priority, and when we give it priority, we give it attention and resources. I encourage you to give this post, and really all the posts from Elaine Alec, your attention, because what she teaches matters.
Chief Empowerment Officer @ Naqsmist Storytellers Inc.’s mission is to accelerate the human collective’s understanding that we can do and think different by remembering who we are.
I don’t get booked for National Indigenous Peoples Day anymore. I used to get lots of requests on this day. I think it might have something to do with the conversation I have with potential bookings for this day. When people ask me to do “awareness” days like this, the look on their face when I tell them what my rate is, tells me that they were only prepared to give me a $250-$500 honorarium for bringing awareness to their team. Some of the bigger billion dollar corporations will also only offer $250 but have a huge list of expectations of what they want from you with a bulleted list of things they want you to cover so they can tick things off their list of what they did to learn. I share with these groups that “This month and this day comes every year, it’s never a surprise, yet when it comes, there is never an appropriate budget set aside to properly compensate the people you’re asking to come in and teach you. When you do your budget, it’s not even a thought or priority to set aside $10,000 for speaker fees and $1000 for elders and knowledge keepers to do openings for your important events throughout the year. I say this not for myself but for those who feel they can’t speak up because $250-$500 is a lot to many people and they can’t say no because that is food money for their family” I will not take honorariums from corporations or businesses to speak to a group of people who are only there as a performative measure, who don’t really care about reconciliation. What is worse is that they never send someone in charge of the money to ask you, they send someone with no authority over the budget who feels horrible for not being able to offer more. I WILL take honorariums from other racialized and underrepresented groups who don’t have money or big budgets and who are sharing with each other and building reciprocal learning relationships and that work can be done any day of the year. I appreciate those organizations and corporations who actually plan ahead and honour our people in our own lands on this day in a meaningful and appropriate way.

✨️Happy Fri-yayyyy!!! We made it another week🙌🏿! I hope you made some progress in your personal goals and advanced your organization's goals too. This weekend, to everyone celebrating Spring🌻, may you smile BIG, laugh OFTEN, and enjoy your families. Whatever you do, when next week comes, and we do this all again...why not join me and others... As we work TOGETHER, for the GREATEST GOOD of course! But before you close out this week, here is a visual of change 👇🏿 demonstrated by a berry🫐🍓 AND Some light reading 📚to help encourage your heart AND give context as we seek to declutter clunky processes and ideas: "Government should be collaborative. Collaboration actively engages Americans in the work of their Government. Executive departments and agencies should use innovative tools, methods, and systems to cooperate among themselves, across all levels of Government, and with nonprofit organizations, businesses, and individuals in the private sector. Executive departments and agencies should solicit public feedback to assess and improve their level of collaboration and to identify new opportunities for cooperation."
