Feeling like your Board members are overreaching? Many nonprofits operate in a gray area. Either Boards weigh in on little-to-nothing or they weigh in on every decision, slowing down progress. It often seems to be one extreme or the other. The solution? You need to communicate

Most nonprofits wait until the last minute to collect stories they need for their next fundraising campaign. You’re a week or two away from launching your next big campaign, and your marketing director sends the team an email. “Anyone have any stories to illustrate…?”

Most annual reports are leaving donations on the table. Each year, you send out an annual report to your donors, trying to perfectly format charts, highlight metrics, and showcase growth. The report can read as all head and no heart if you overdo it on the data. The problem?

Do you know why people *actually* give to organizations? I asked this question on a seminar I was giving a little while ago, and I got a lot of different answers. “They want to leave a legacy.” “They want to support pick-your-mission.” “They want to do good in the world.”
