Last week I had the chance to learn about nonprofit fundraising from a marketing perspective at the Nonprofit Marketing Summit. I'm sharing my 5 top takeaways (and am happy to also share the 20 pages of notes I took--just message me!) from nonprofit sector leaders Cameron Ripley, Floyd Jones, Rob Wu, Brady Josephson, and Stacy Huston: ❓ Don't just ask "Who is my biggest donor?" but also ask "Who has been my longest donor?" to honor and engage contributions beyond ones that are financial. 🤝 48% of people don't trust nonprofits. Peer to peer fundraising is a solution because it enables a transfer of trust through personal relationships and affinities. 💸 The vast majority of nonprofits that met or exceeded their fundraising goal in 2023 were the nonprofits that had implemented recurring giving (data from the forthcoming Nonprofit Acceleration Report, to be published in May). 🗣 Data from charity: water tells us that recurring donors are most likely to leave in the first 90 days, so a series of communications should be targeted to this period. 🧠 When seeking corporate funding, identify what the company's pain points are and brainstorm how your nonprofit can provide a solution. #NMS2024

In the heart of the nonprofit sector lies a transformative potential that goes beyond the mere allocation of resources; it's about fundamentally reshaping the way we approach our missions and the societal issues we aim to address. The time is ripe for us to pivot from a scarcity mindset, which has long dictated our strategies around fundraising, campaigns, and engagement with corporate donors, to one of abundance and mutual growth. As leaders and changemakers, our ultimate ambition should not solely be the sustainability of our own organizations but the holistic resolution of the issues at hand. This vision requires an ethos of collaboration over competition. True impact is cultivated when we dare to transcend traditional boundaries, sharing knowledge and resources freely with fellow organizations that echo our aspirations. The notion that acknowledging and supporting others in our space might dilute our own support base is a vestige of outdated thinking. Fear of losing a donor by highlighting collaborative efforts is a clear indication of playing it small. Instead, we must embrace the principle that being a relentless resource for others not only amplifies our collective impact but also strengthens our own foundations. Let us remember, "A rising tide lifts all boats." In fostering an ecosystem where knowledge and resources flow unimpeded among partners, we not only enhance our individual capacity for change but also accelerate the pace at which we can address the monumental challenges before us. The journey towards significant societal transformation is a shared one—let's walk it together, with open hearts and unbridled ambition. Thank you Erin O. for attending my session and sharing some gold nuggets with others! I am always so grateful when someone in the audience is inspired enough to share. What a gift. #NMS2024 #NonprofitLeadership #CollaborationOverCompetition #AbundanceMindset #SocialImpact
