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! Don’t they realize I’ll never come here again? ” Sadly, this is exactly what many donors feel when: You make it difficult for them to give.

As I have grown my business, I have found I now have to spend more time training our staff on the basics of grant research. It turns out that grant research is both extremely important and surprisingly difficult to do right. Most grant researchers find that they stumble on a ton of possibilities or else none at all. Consequently, they need to know how to adjust their search to find more or fewer prospects.

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.

Roughly 10% of U.S. nonprofits are led by individuals from Black, Indigenous, and other communities of color, yet they only receive about 4% of grant dollars annually. The reasons for this are many, but it is no coincidence that over 90% of foundation CEOs are white. Organizations led by individuals of color face barriers to funding that their white-led counterparts simply do not, resulting in significantly less financial support.
