A big donor once admitted why they don’t invest. The reason might surprise you. This institutional funder told me the most common problem isn’t the idea, pitch deck, or #nonprofit leader. Instead, the number one reason they say 𝘯𝘰 is when the organization has no plan to pull off its vision. In other words, no clear #strategy. So your strategic plan can make or break your #fundraising.

📢 Charities, here’s a question for you: Are you connecting with your donors in the most meaningful way possible? This week’s Research Spotlight highlights how alumni foundations are finding success by understanding the real reasons alumni give. 🧠 And there’s a powerful lesson here for any charity looking to deepen its connections with supporters. We explore findings by Jean-Luc Giannelloni and Léo Trespeuch at "Décisions Marketing" of AFM - Association Française du Marketing, revealing that donor motivations vary widely based on cultural values. Here’s how these findings can transform your fundraising: 1️⃣ Know what drives them: Dig into the values that make your supporters feel connected. For some, it’s reputation; for others, it’s impact. When you speak to the “why,” your message resonates far more deeply. 2️⃣ Build real trust: Donors want more than just a place to give—they want to see how their support matters. Show them the difference their generosity is making, and you’ll build lasting loyalty. 💙 3️⃣ Turn donors into advocates: Loyal donors spread the word. When your supporters feel genuinely valued and aligned with your cause, they’re not just donating—they’re championing your mission. 🚀 Ready to take your engagement to the next level? Swipe through the carousel to discover how cultural insights can help your charity connect in ways that inspire lifelong support.
