In my ongoing exploration of the importance of thoughtful questions that funders can ask their current and potential nonprofit grantee partners, I wanted to assert that the frameworks I've been developing are also completely applicable to individual and family donors who are looking to be more intentional with their giving and relationship building with nonprofits. You don't have to have a formal application to ask powerful questions. Here is one of the frameworks which starts by asking, "Is this important to you?" #philanthropy #giving #questions #relationships #grantmaking #changeupyourquestions https://lnkd.in/gA7uth7i

Something that I've learned from my years in the fundraising industry is that donor relationships aren’t as easy as they seem... But maintaining these relationships is everything. Over the years, I’ve seen 5 common misconceptions nonprofits have about donor relationships. Misconception #1: “We need some quick fundraising wins”  Misconception #2: “Donors don’t want to hear from us too often”  Misconception #3: “Our organization’s reputation speaks for itself”  Misconception #4: “We should only talk about major milestones”  Misconception #5: “We should spend the majority of our time targeting companies and foundations” If these sound familiar, you’re not alone. Many nonprofits struggle with these pitfalls—and that’s why I’m creating an in-depth course on how to avoid them. ➡ Join the waitlist now to be first in line when it launches (which should be very, very soon!).
