NEW #TuesdayTips for Leaders of Volunteers, and everyone working in the civic sector! December was a busy giving season but not all of the donations, especially in-kind items, are going to be helpful or useful to your organization. Most donors have the best intentions and think they are helping by dropping off random items, but sometimes people and companies also knowingly donate "trash" items as a tax write-off, in very bad faith. Dealing with bad donations wastes volunteer and employee time sorting and disposing of items instead of doing their mission critical work. I share my own story of "The Bad Wine Day of 2003", tips on steering good-faith in-kind donors in the right direction, creating a "Disqualified Donors" list and policy, resources on good governance and ethics from Independent Sector, and more. Share some of your own "Disaster Donation" stories and thoughts in the comments! #LeadersOfVolunteers #Donors #DonorRelations #InKindGiving #GivingSeason #TaxFraud #VolunteerManagement #DisasterResponse #Nonprofit

What is HUM up to this afternoon? I am delivering donations for a client, which frees up their trunk space and more importantly, their TIME! We love helping our clients free up time and space in their days so they can focus on what matters most. Isn't that what makes life HUM?! #humconcierge #bimingham #personalconcierge #lifestylemanagement

The largest gift someone makes in their lifetime is usually only received posthumously: a gift left in their will. Long term giving is the single biggest predictor of whether your charity will be in someone's will. The secret to encouraging long term giving lies in communication. Don't be distracted be larger long term donations, either–focus on all levels of giving–gift size now is not a valid predictor of legacy giving. - Communicate often - Build relationships - Thank people thank people thank people!
