Your nonprofit needs a strong infrastructure and internal culture to move with full force toward your goals. You might have a dedicated base of staff and volunteers who are eager to push forward your initiatives, but what about your board members? Your board can play a significant role in your nonprofit’s success, but if they aren’t engaged and excited about your mission, it’s easy for their talents and connections to go unused. As a result, you might be leaving pivotal fundraising opportunities on the table. If you’re struggling with board engagement, use these best practices to reinvigorate your board members and connect them to your greater purpose. With your board members’ full support, you’ll be able to operate your nonprofit much more effectively and take your mission to new heights.
Most people love a good story. Whether we’re watching our favorite TV series, reading a popular new novel, or listening to a friend talk about their recent vacation, storytelling engages our emotions and holds our attention. Plus, studies show that stories are up to 22 times more memorable than facts alone! These effects are why organizations across different industries incorporate stories into their marketing content. For nonprofits in particular, storytelling can help your organization connect emotionally with current and potential supporters, show them your impact in concrete ways, and inspire them to take action.
In the nonprofit world, effective fundraising isn't just about collecting donations—though that’s obviously an integral component. Instead, it's about fostering sustainable growth to fuel your organization’s efforts. If you’re looking for a powerful way to supercharge this growth while engaging individual donors and corporations alike, workplace giving programs (like matching gifts and more) might be just what you need. In this guide, we'll delve into the essence of workplace giving—and why it matters for nonprofits—explore various programs, and equip your team with strategies to maximize its corporate fundraising potential.
