Thoughtful Stewardship Motivates Other Donors As seasoned fundraisers will attest, many major donors will, upon making a gift commitment, say they want no recognition and a surprising number say they would prefer to remain anonymous. I don't know how many say that because it's how they feel or because they think that is what they should say. It doesn't really matter. My standard response was "We need your example." Example is important in philanthropy and fundraising. I wanted to afford my donors recognition because I knew it would be inspiring and motivating to others - if we told their story in the right way. All too often we squander the opportunity of example. We announce the amount someone has given and make some banal statements about the transformative effect it will have but rarely do we follow up and demonstrate the actual transformational impact years down the road. Even sadder, we don't do enough to publicize why the donor gave or highlight the values that underpinned and motivated their giving. Yet, the story of why one donor gave can be highly motivating to other current and potential donors. We seem to forget that many of us spend our lives trying to become better people. We seek to liberate our big and altruistic side from our small, selfish and self-protective side. We don't always know how to do that but we try. It's why we look to the examples of others, why we look for people we can admire and emulate. It's not how much someone gave but why. When we hear about someone giving because they want to spare others from the loss or pain visited on them or their loved ones, we revisit our pain and loss and ask ourselves if we have done enough to spare others. When we hear about someone giving to return what they think was a good done for them years ago, we go back to our past and ourselves if we have paid due credit to those who were most helpful in our formative years. When we hear someone giving because they felt fortune smiled on them, we think more about our good fortune and how we might share it. The more we seize on the power of example through effective storytelling, we help others reflect and say to themselves: That's who I want to be like. That's how I could give more meaning to my life. That's how I can become a better person. It's not the size of the gift we celebrate, it's the examples of how people turn to philanthropy to forgive, to convert struggle and loss to purpose, to remember and honor those that shaped their lives, to chip away at injustices visited on them, to provide others opportunities they never had, and to bequeath more to the future than they inherited from the past. We need these examples and these stories. We want to be in the presence of people striving to do good with their lives. We look for ways to be better people. The more thoughtfully we steward and share each donor's story, the more we widen the philanthropic path.

Heard & Empowered
Something unique happened last week at this year's NIB Public Policy Week…✨ NIB’s associated nonprofit agencies united their advocacy efforts on one single ask. 🤝 Yes, you read that right. Every advocate asked their legislators for the same thing during their Capitol visits in Washington, D.C. 🇺🇸 And they will keep asking for the foreseeable future. Curious about the ask? 🤔 Mandating a 1% utilization target for the Department of Defense (DOD) through the AbilityOne® Program. 🏛️ What does this mean? Allocating 1% of the DOD’s massive purchasing budget to buying goods and services produced through the AbilityOne Program. Currently, the DOD is AbilityOne’s largest customer, but only about 0.55% of their budget is spent on AbilityOne. Though the DOD committed voluntarily to raising this to 1%, it hasn’t happened yet. By asking Congress to turn this goal into law, two things will happen: First, this small percentage would nearly double the DOD’s current utilization of the AbilityOne Program, meaning thousands of people who are blind or have significant disabilities could have the opportunity to build meaningful careers. 💼 Second, accountability measures will ensure the DOD’s 1% procurement spend is always met. What Congress mandates, Congress measures. 📏 Want to know more? 🎧 Tune in tomorrow for a new episode of the Heard & Empowered podcast by National Industries for the Blind. Our guest, Rob Buettner, MBA Vice President of Relationships and Business Services at Beyond Vision 501(c)3 in Wisconsin, is an experienced NIB Advocate. He'll share his many journeys to the Capitol and what makes this year’s so special. Dr. Hoby Wedler, Ph.D. Wedler will delve into Rob's personal story, his struggles with vision loss, and his extraordinary success helping others who are blind or visually impaired. 🌟 Set your alarm for tomorrow, Wednesday, May 22! ⏰ In the meantime, catch up on past episodes here: https://lnkd.in/epCwx-tn. They're filled with gold nuggets, just like tomorrow's episode will be! 💡 Please review and share the podcast. We want Rob's story to reach and inspire as many BVI folks as possible! 🌍

If We Truly Valued the Donors We Had Wouldn't we: Survey and/or interview them about what institutional attributes they find most important and impressive to ensure we hire fundraisers who embody them? Tell fundraisers their most important job is to perpetuate and deepen relationships with those assigned to their portfolios? Require fundraisers to demonstrate that they have studied donor profiles and developed engagement plans attuned to their donors' passions and sensitivities? Equip fundraisers with questions to ask so they can fill gaps in those donors' records to ensure they are managed well over time? Check in with those donors after a few months to make sure all is going well with their new development officer? Work with the development officer to learn what each donor does and does not want to receive knowing how many complain of being bombarded with information? Make sure any solicitation is well-thought-out and respectful as evidenced by the number of conversations preceding it and interest expressed by the donor in a particular initiative? Conduct annual stewardship interviews or surveys to make sure donors feel that their gifts have been well-stewarded and they feel respectfully treated, then compare results year over year to make sure gaps are not growing? Show fundraisers how they can help donors develop multiple connections to the organization? Yet, how often do we see fundraisers: Selected on the basis of bravado Pushed into the field with too little training and no review of their plans Expected to solicited after a set number of visits with no review as to whether what is being solicited aligns with donors' interests Not required to show evidence of relationship or affinity building Gone after two years so that donors not only experience giving fatigue but breaking-in-new-fundraiser fatigue So let's be honest. While many organizations have a stewardship office, few have anything that looks like an asset management plan or the awareness of how important one is. Despite what we give lip service to, is it not a fact that we care little about how positive an impression our fundraisers make or how well they treat their donors as long as they bring home some bacon? So here's the lesson that must penetrate or our thick organizational skulls: A stewardship office, no matter how good, cannot compensate for: Leadership attitudes that treat donors like cordwood Fundraisers who don't reflect values and ideals touted by the organization Fundraising imperatives that favor insensitive fundraisers or desensitize good ones Donors being made to feel like ATMs accessed by revolving fundraisers Inappropriate or inept solicitations Most organization leave much too much to chance. They need to build awareness around donors as invaluable organizational assets and, at minimum, hold themselves to ethic articulated in the Hippocratic Oath: "I will do no harm or injustice to them."

I found this article from the Frameworks Institute on how to communicate during a political election year without getting lost in the weeds to be very helpful and thought you might too. The three insights they've pick up from 25 years of framing research that can help you advance your issues during this time: 1. Don’t fall into the “crisis” trap. Lead and stick with solutions. 2. Highlight context and emphasize the need for systems change. 3. Frame together. #communication #science

When I speak with fundraisers at medium and large nonprofits, finding new donors is consistently identified as the biggest barrier to growing their major gift program. Here’s why building a powerful pipeline of qualified prospects is such a challenge: Most fundraisers are looking for major donors in all the wrong places. As a 25 year veteran of campaigns ranging from $5M to $200M, I learned this the hard way. Often, we’re taught to believe the right way to grow our major gift program is by searching for a small handful of elusive mega donors far outside of your organization. This is a mistake that ends up costing us – literally! Organizations that take this approach are potentially leaving millions of dollars on the table. That’s why I’ve put together a FREE guide to help you build a powerful fundraising pipeline - and fill it with prospects who are ready, willing and able to give you a major gift. Inside Fill Your Fundraising Pipeline you’ll get four steps to help your major gift team find more qualified prospects so you can exceed your goals, and create the consistent, reliable revenue growth your nonprofit needs.

I’m digging deep into why gatherings are so powerful in fundraising. One of the biggest benefits is the ability to build trust with your donors. Gatherings accelerate that by: - Providing a way to get to know your donors and create a sense of community and shared purpose. - Creating an opportunity to demonstrate your impact, financial credibility and vision for the future.

In fundraising, it is crucial not only to tell but show your donors how their contributions are making a difference within your mission and vision. You must communicate your organization’s impact to your donors regularly and effectively so they are more likely to encourage repeat donations. A donor impact letter is a key tool to accomplish this task. Check out my recent post on how and why you should build donor impact letters into your organization’s communication mix. https://lnkd.in/e_wt2iHK #fundraising #nonprofits

As fundraisers, whose job is it to be generous? Is it possible YOUR generosity might be as important as your donors'? Most of us in the world of philanthropy understand something about being generous with money. For a start, not everyone IS generous with money. Having money doesn’t mean people give it away. We understand that our best donors get that it FEELS GOOD to give. But recently, I’ve double-clicked on some deeper applications of generosity that have nothing to do with money and everything to do with feeling good. So, what does it mean to be generous – not just with money, but with your heart and spirit? Here’s an example from my life: For some of us, as our parents age, their commitment to the rules and details of reality wanes. And regularly I find that the rule follower in me jumps in to correct and to straighten out any confused details. I am helping to orient – or at least to un-disorient – right? But after, I feel icky. It never feels good to be *that* person, the stickler about details. And the word generous came up recently about these interactions … and has invited me to wonder if I might not actually find a more generous space – a place where I show up, give the gift of my attention and … play along. My partner Kevin shared a story with me about his own father, who died with dementia in 2020. One day during a visit, his father was telling him a story about killing a dragon. Hunh? It was disorienting, he recalled, because it was very detailed, and his father really believed it happened. Upon corroborating facts with his father’s girlfriend, he discovered that his father DID have a story: he had been out in the garden and got harassed by … not a dragon, but a dragonfly. Which he eventually swatted away. And Kevin had an "a-ha!": in an eroding memory ecosystem, an interaction with a large insect could easily morph into something more story-worthy. And he understood that a good story made his dad happy. So, then, it wasn’t hard for him to create that generous space and play along. And that’s a kind of generosity that is different from cash. Many of us get stuck in a world -where there are dragonflies, but no dragons -where we are attached to our reality, to the rules as we see them. Where we are so attached, in fact, that we can’t make space for someone else’s experience. Where rightness or sticking to the story feel more important than our own generosity. So, to my fellow fundraisers and humans, here’s an inquiry to help you transcend the world of dragonflies: How might you expand your definition of generosity in service of your own and your donors’ humanity? #fundraisers #fundraising #nonprofit #generosity #coachingculture #philanthropy

As we know, without additional information or guidance, many coastal donors tend to fund locally or in geographies they are familiar with. Grateful to Inside Philanthropy for recognizing The Just Trust as one of the key organizations funding and partnering with criminal justice leaders in the South, one of the most under-resourced areas for philanthropy and investment in our issue area. This is how to develop solutions that can work in all 50 states and political contexts. Full article here: https://lnkd.in/g_ky4VKz

“Major donors like to give in their backyard.” BS! One thing I’ve noticed over the years is that many people think that major donors have some rule book that they all follow. In other words, you get to a certain level of giving and all of those donors think the same way about things. Some of the things I’ve heard over the years are that all major donors… -Want to see financials -Only give to physical projects -Need to be asked by a peer -Can’t be asked on a first visit -Only like to give to an organization for 3-5 years The truth: SOME DONORS THINK THESE THINGS. You saw it happen with one particular donor or that’s the way you think. That doesn’t mean everyone thinks the same thing. Major donors are PEOPLE. If you haven’t noticed, people are incredibly different. Saying something like major donors like to give in their backyard is just as silly as saying something like major donors like pineapple pizza. Stop assuming things about the donor you’re working with because some “genius” told you a major donor secret. JUST ASK THEM! #OneVisitAway #MajorGiftMillions #philanthropy

Don't Just Record Gifts, Characterize Donors' Motivations All contributions are not made with the same intentions. Donors' motivations vary as do their levels of appreciation and conviction. Not all are predictive of future giving. Some are warnings of declines ahead. The more honest we are about our donors' motivations, the more effectively we can steward their contributions. Some really can't be stewarded. Some can't be stewarded well if we don't understand how personal they are and why they are so. All sorts of stories are embedded in the gifts we receive. Some are not really gifts; they are the closing of a philanthropic door. Some are bread crumbs; if we follow them closely, they will lead to much more. We never fail to record to the numbers. We have a tendency to characterize the totals as evidence of rousing support while rarely acknowledging the inevitable attrition already baked in. In fact much of our totals are made up of tentative gifts, the last gifts some will ever make, the small fractions of what people might give if we better understood and nurtured their motivations and everything in between. More accurate recording and complete characterizations of donors' underlying motivations will allow us to focus and customize our stewardship accordingly - and be more attuned to which fundraising practices are the most and least regenerative.

Dr. Joakim Alfred Dipankar Sarkar (PhD)
Discernment of Philanthropy from Last Century: The landscape of philanthropy has dramatically evolved from the early 20th century to the present. In the early 1900s, philanthropy was largely driven by big Religious Organizations to a few wealthy individuals and families who made substantial contributions to public institutions such as libraries, universities, and hospitals. Organizations Like Missionaries of Charity, Caritas International, Ramakrishna Mission, Figures like Andrew Carnegie and John D. Rockefeller were emblematic of this era, focusing on building enduring legacies through large-scale projects and endowments. Their approach was often paternalistic, with a top-down mindset about how to address societal issues. As the 20th century progressed, the scope and nature of philanthropy began to shift. The mid-century saw the rise of corporate philanthropy, where businesses started to play a significant role in charitable activities. Foundations like the Ford Foundation and the Rockefeller Foundation became prominent, channeling substantial resources into addressing global issues like poverty, public health, and education. Entering the 21st century, philanthropy has become even more diverse and democratized. The advent of the internet and digital platforms has enabled broader participation from individuals across different economic backgrounds. Crowdfunding websites like GoFundMe and Kickstarter have empowered ordinary people to contribute to causes they care about, often resulting in swift and substantial fundraising efforts for various initiatives. Social media has further amplified this effect, allowing causes to gain visibility and support rapidly. Moreover, contemporary philanthropy emphasizes strategic giving and impact measurement. Modern philanthropists, including tech entrepreneurs like Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg, focus on data-driven approaches to ensure their contributions yield measurable and sustainable outcomes. This era has seen the rise of concepts such as impact investing and social entrepreneurship, where the lines between for-profit and non-profit activities blur, aiming for both financial returns and social good. Additionally, there is a growing trend towards collaborative philanthropy, where multiple stakeholders, including non-profits, governments, and private enterprises, work together to tackle complex global challenges. This collaborative approach reflects recognition that multifaceted problems like climate change, global health, and inequality require coordinated efforts and diverse perspectives. In essence, the face of philanthropy has transitioned from a predominantly elite, institution-building endeavor to a more inclusive, strategic, and collaborative field. This evolution mirrors broader societal changes, emphasizing transparency, accountability, and the collective impact of diverse contributions.

T. Clay Buck, CFRE I'd argue "donor" identity is not particularly useful in explaining choices. For example, it doesn't explain why someone gives to animal welfare and veterans groups but not a religious charity. More enduring Identities have nothing to do with a charity. It's innate to the person, representing a latent, untapped potential connection to mission (not brand). I'm a dog person. I'll make lots of choices in life to affirm the values/goals that go with it - own dog, take dog pics, talk about dogs and never needing to donate to charity, ever. The opportunity for the animal shelter is showing me how donating is in keeping with my dog person values/goals. Send me a cat picture and you've lost that chance. Messaging to Identity (and Personality, which this article grossly conflates but I digress...). is moving away from "who do I send this Appeal X to?" to "what do I send to Donor Y that matches who they are and what to send to Donor Z who I know to be different (Identity and/or Personality) to match them?" All enduring giving is autobiographical. In our data measuring Identity and Motivation matched to actual giving there's no such thing as long-term donors giving for warm-glow or generalized altruism.

Unrestricted funding enables nonprofits and organizations to address complex challenges more effectively. EGA member, Shena Cavallo of Global Greengrants Fund co-authors this insightful article, which outlines the problems that arise from restricted funding, and how flexible funding can support more effective partnerships for lasting change. Restricted funding can have several implications, such as: • Driving competition and making collaboration more challenging • Forcing organizations to navigate complex funding requirements which diverts their time away from impactful work • Hindering effective rapid response to emergencies or security threats that activists, organizations, and movements can face “It is critical that donors understand how highly restricted funding — when it is the norm instead of the exception — can hinder and even undermine the intended impact of their investments, especially at the grassroots level. “ 👉Learn more: https://lnkd.in/eFiwtcGy
