Don’t look in the mirror. Look out the door. No nonprofit can afford to be an island. As tempting as it may be to stay in your comfort zone, wearing blinders that enable you to forge straight ahead without noticing what’s going on around you, this is a dangerous practice. Because sometimes the landscape changes dramatically. And when it does, your nonprofit could get left behind.

Your donors, like you, are under many pressures from a rapidly changing world. How do you capture their attention in the almost grotesque distraction of the online space? “We’ve had enough.” Hey, haven’t we all? This subject line made me pause… and open. And when I did, I read an email that simply and powerfully made its case. The first paragraph tells me they know me.

Negative self-talk can really mess you up. So say behavioral scientists, psychologists and researchers. I recently ran across an article on the CNBC Make It blog by Kathy and Ross Petras , and want to share it because it rings so true for me. And I hope for you as well. Many times, professionally and personally, we can’t make the problem go away. Our control lies fundamentally in how we approach the problem.

Accounting can vary widely based on industry, and nonprofit accounting is one of the most unique approaches to the subject. Instead of focusing on generating a profit for the organization, the core of nonprofit accounting is accountability toward supporters and toward the mission. Nonprofits track the amount of funding allocated to different programs, projects, and organizational operations to show stakeholders that they’re using all revenue to further the mission.

One of the hard truths about fundraising is that: fundraising isn’t always fun. Good fundraising is. tedious, meticulous, regular, pleasant persistence. (Even when you don’t feel like being pleasant.). If you’re not getting the results you want, look at your own activity. For example, if “no one” is getting back to you, are you really attempting to connect with people?

“I’m not that smart”. Someone said that to me the other day and it was heartbreaking. The number of tasks in our culture that require someone who was born with off-the-charts talent is small indeed. Just about everything else we need people to do is the result of effort, practice and care. It’s true that variations of that work are easier for some folks, but no one finds all of it easy going.

When you reflect back on the best board you ever worked with, what comes to mind? Of course, boards are wonderful. They’re a group of people who are giving unselfishly of their time and talents. But we all know how frustrating boards can be. So when I think back to the most effective — and, unsurprisingly most enjoyable board I’ve ever worked with, I remember the board of a smaller, Philadelphia organization.

After years of pandemics, civil unrest, natural disasters, and economic uncertainty, what red-blooded grant writer or fundraiser wouldn’t want to curl up on a comfy couch and scroll away for a few minutes to escape the stress and practice some self-care? You deserve it. After all, you’re probably being told to write more, ask more, and work more with less time, money, and fewer team members.
