“You see, the premise is all wrong. Nonprofits mistakenly think that the student, homeless, rainforest, family, etc. are their customers. Your clients or causes are not customers…they got no money. Successful nonprofits understand that donors are the object of their mission, and must be served before people in need.” -Jimmy LaRose #fundraising #nonprofit #philanthropy #NonprofitExecutiveTraining #NANOECertification #FundraisingExpert #ContinuingEducation

Today is International Day of Charity, and a great day to reflect on how important charitable giving can be in preserving a family legacy. Family philanthropy and charitable giving can strengthen values like empathy, responsibility, and community within a family to create a lasting impact for generations to come. By aligning with meaningful causes, families can give back, instill a sense of purpose in future generations, and demonstrate their values on a larger scale. #InternationalDayOfCharity #Charity #CharitableGiving #FamilyPhilanthropy #LegacyPlanning

Great to read this article in the AFR this morning, a topic I feel strongly about. Prioritising impact over overheads in the charitable sector is a no-brainer. Stealing from Dan Palotta, "No nonprofit leader wants their eventual headstone to read, 'We kept our overhead low.'" But for this to happen, NFPs need the confidence and ability to invest, which will only occur if acquittal forms stop enforcing unnecessary % maximums for indirect/overhead expenses. Let's stop being short-sighted. https://lnkd.in/gyuMvXc5 #charity #notforprofits #uncharitable #ondemandcfo
