What better time than Valentine's Day to consider ways to show love and gratitude to your volunteers who make so much of your good work possible?
We hope our little gift to you will help your conversations.
It's no secret that nonprofit staff turnover can be high, especially in development positions. I see this regularly when Project Partners is called upon to pick up where a former staff member left off on a critical event, fundraising campaign, or community initiative.
In 2008, during the economic downturn, I presented the following information about successful event management in a tough economy to a select group of nonprofit executives and community leaders in Arlington. Based on our experience across the region, I think it is worth sharing here, as the principles hold for any economy at any time. I hope you find it helpful.
