Have you ever received confoundingly terrible customer service? Maybe at a restaurant, hotel, fast food restaurant or retail outlet? It happens all the time and, likely, you’ve thought to yourself: “ Why on earth are they treating me like this? It’s so stupid!

A very common “go-to” funding idea for small nonprofits is fundraising events. Events are a great way to bring like-minded people together and have a good time in the name of your cause. Some fundraising events are huge, drawing attendees and sponsors like moths to a flame. Other events are smaller, more intimate gatherings where guests are directly asked for money.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, many of us got our first taste of working from home. If your experience is anything like mine, then I think there is good reason to be cautious about the benefits of working from home. One of the things that makes the office more productive is peer pressure. It forces you to show up on time and leave on time. Moreover, in the office, you are in a competitive environment and the social pressure for performance is immense.

Daylight savings time begins this week-end where I live, and I’m pretty excited. I’m a night owl, so tacking on those extra hours of daylight when I’m awake is definitely a shot of dopamine.

We have all been there. It’s time to draft a problem statement, and as grant professionals we know data is a necessary element to prove the need for our community. So where do you start?

Thanking volunteers for all they do is crucial to keeping your volunteers coming back again and again. Yet it’s something many organizations neglect to do. And that’s a shame. Volunteers pour their heart into your nonprofit’s work. They’re there to help with the heavy lifting of running a nonprofit and delivering programs. Plus, they’re probably your best ambassadors in the community, spreading the good word about the work you’re doing.

Funders and nonprofits – two sides to a very important coin. Sure, nonprofits would not last long without the resources provided by individual donors, foundations, corporations, and (in some cases) government agencies. But without nonprofits, the work provided for our citizenry, environment, and animals would not happen at all, or at the very least, at the scale it is.
