Donors Don’t Just Give; They Invest

Donors Don’t Just Give; They Invest in a Nonprofit

Bequests,  Giving

Donors like to do more than just give — they like to feel like they are investing in the nonprofits they support. Investing means feeling like they are part of the organization and partially responsible for its success. If you want donors to give more to your organization, you need to find ways to help them feel as though they are investing, not simply making a donation.

Focusing on Your Donor's Financial Advisor

Enter Your Donor’s Financial Advisor

Giving,  Planned Giving for Financial Advisors

Your donor’s financial advisor can play a key role in determining when (and if) your donor gives to your organization. An advisor-centric approach in your non-profit can also pave the road for prospective donors. Is your nonprofit doing enough to build a network of financial advisors?

Cryptocurrency: The Next Gifting Frontier

Cryptocurrency,  Giving,  Major Gifts

Ethereum. Doegecoin. Ripple. Litecoin. Stellar. Bitcoin. Unless you’re familiar with cryptocurrency, those names probably look like something straight out of a science fiction story. But it’s no fiction: Cryptocurrency presents a huge—and largely untapped—opportunity for nonprofits.

Let Donors Know: Philanthropy Is Here to Stay

Let Donors Know: Philanthropy Is Here to Stay

Giving,  Planned Giving Marketing,  Relationships

In 1900 they predicted that C, X and Q would vanish from our alphabet. 10 years later it was predicted we would have flying bicycles. The U.S. Congressional Calendar predicts that philanthropic incentives may be legislated out of existence sometime soon. That’s not going to happen. Philanthropy is here to stay!

Rate Tables and Hard Numbers in CGA Ads

Rate Tables and Hard Numbers in CGA Ads

Charitable Gift Annuity,  Giving,  Planned Giving Marketing

Fact: Charitable Gift Annuity (CGA) rate tables or gift illustrations/examples really don’t work well. Non-profits want them in their CGA marketing pieces because they see them in everyone else’s stuff, but the reality is that they rarely bring in a gift.  Or bring in the wrong type of gift. Instead, focus on donor stories in your CGA ads and other marketing!

“I am too busy to think about planned giving”

“I am too busy to think about planned giving”

Giving,  Planned Giving Marketing,  Relationships

  Too busy? Or are you placing Planned ­Giving on the back burner, again? So many fundraisers make excuses, claiming they’ve placed planned giving on the back-burner because of tight budgets, smaller staffs and not enough time. Bull. There’s an underlying ­reason that none of us wants to acknowledge: Four years ago we asked fundraisers […]
