One of the most common questions I get asked by non-profit fundraisers is this: how often should you be asking your donors for money? In this article, I’m going to give you some simple guidelines to help you answer that question. The reason I’m going to give you guidelines, instead of just giving you an answer, is because there is no hard and fast rule.

As your nonprofit starts to blossom, don’t be surprised if you are conflicted over how much to spend on nonprofit administration, especially fundraising.

A major gift caseload is not just a bunch of donors who meet a certain giving or capacity criteria. Current giving and capacity play into the selection of a caseload pool. From this pool, you should qualify the donors who want to connect. Your caseload will have donors of different economic quality, which is why you should tier your caseload so you know where to spend your time.

If you are new to grantmaking, preparing for a grant presentation can be a confusing and overwhelming task. Whether in person, over the phone, or on a video call, a presentation is an opportunity to convince a funder that you should be invited to apply for a grant. It doesn't take the place of a proposal, but rather gives the funder a taste of the work you are doing in order to decide whether they should invite your proposal.

The motivation that gets someone to take the first step to support an organization (donating or volunteering) is quite different from their motivation to continue to be engaged.

When you think of your brand, it can feel like a nebulous concept sometimes, right? You show up at your organization every day to fulfill a mission, to fill a need and to create opportunity for yourself and others around you. But is that your mission (your “why”) or is that your brand? And where does marketing come into the mix?

The willingness to give money isn't what causes online donations to fail, as you might think. Would it surprise you to know they fail due to a poor user experience? Not only many nonprofits don’t pay enough attention to the checkout process, but they also redirect visitors to third-party payment solution sites. The result? A loss of trust and donations.
