A recent client success reminded me of the importance of gratitude and personal follow-up when unexpected generosity occurs. Last year, one of our private school clients received an unexpected $5,000 gift through North Texas Giving Day (NTGD). They were thrilled, but also pleasantly baffled, because the donors lived out-of-state, and no one on campus knew anything about them.
Are you involved with an eligible nonprofit that is not yet registered for North Texas Giving Day (NTGD)*, scheduled for Thursday, September 20, 2018? Early bird registration ends this Friday, June 15th!
Too many times, I see boxes of beautiful collateral materials for events, marketing, outreach or fundraising campaigns happily living on the floors of agency storage rooms and offices. Thousands of dollars worth of materials never see the light of day. Are they helping to move the organization's mission forward?
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.
