Community Centric Fundraising principle 4 reminds us "All who engage in strengthening the community are equally valued, whether volunteer, staff, donor, or board member...Our staff play a critical role in building a strong and just community. We must compensate them fairly, invest in their growth, and appreciate them as much as we appreciate donors." People Serving People is leading the way to show fellow nonprofits and nonprofit workers how this principle looks in practice. From their public commitment (and follow through!) to raising wages for all staff to this beautiful video featuring staff who all volunteered to record their gratitude, PSP is changing how the work gets done. Thank you, PSP staff! ❤️ Nonprofit executives and leaders, check out their thank you video to spark creative ways to make the space for staff to shine as they carry out your mission each and every day. https://lnkd.in/geAbucJh

We knowwww you have a To Do list. 😱 But how is your To Don’t list looking? There are so many things you just don’t need to do to raise big money from major donors. For starters, all the stuff that makes you feel gross. 🤢 Really. The most sustainable, meaningful, and largest gifts come from relationships with donors that are real and don’t make you feel like you need to sacrifice your values. ⭐️Because they are based on shared values. ⭐️ Pic: Here’s Sarah channeling fundraisers taking time off to rest this season after adding some To Donts to their lists—-with the help of Tricia Hersey’s amazing Rest Deck. Here are some more To Don’ts you can act on… well, not act on… now. https://lnkd.in/gAPTHFEv

We love reminding you how important you are. We love reminding you that you don’t have to do it all to be a successful fundraiser. We love reminding you that you can put stuff that doesn’t serve you on your To Don’t list. Why? Because your time is valuable and you are soooo key to our sector’s ability to do fundraising aligned with our values AND bring in big money for our missions. You are key to change. This giving Tuesday, give yourself a gift and join us LIVE for Feel Good Fundraising: An Intro to Values- Based Major Giving. 12.3 at 1pm EST Registration link in the comments and the post below 👇 https://lnkd.in/gfUp42_j
