Today I’d like to take my 14 years experience managing a nonprofits and offer help for leaders in this area. Download the guide at kayhelm.com/npguide.1) A Spirituality of Fundraising, by Henri J.M. NouwenYou can read this through in one sitting. It’s only 50-60 pages. And it deals with the most important part of your fundraising–your mind. So many people start because of passion, but then run into a wall because fundraising feels like begging. So we’ve got to change our mindset. This is a book that invites us to examine our hearts, motives, and methods and align these with God’s word. If you come to me for fundraising coaching, Session One homework is to read this book. 2) FREEDOM Fundraising Framework: 7 Steps to Build and Sustain Your Next Campaign, by Mary ValloniThis book outlines Mary’s FREEDOM Fundraising Framework. Raising funds successfully and consistently requires strategy! The Freedom framework gives you that strategy, from clarifying your mission and message to building and deploying your teams and making your difference! I interviewed Mary in episode 42, and Mary has a podcast called Fundraising Freedom.3) Fully Funded AcademyThis resource is specifically for missionaries raising support. Fully Funded Academy is a monthly membership training program that gives you the clarity and confidence to launch, grow, and scale your financial support base. If you need more 1:1 support, I'm a Fully Funded Certified Coach.4) Cairification, from Claire AxelradThere are really only two blogs you need to follow. The first one is “Clairification” from Claire Axelrad. This blog is a tremendous source of knowledge on all things fundraising and philanthropy. 5) The Storytelling NonprofitThe next blog is the Storytelling Nonprofit, from Vanessa Chase Lockshin. I interviewed Vanessa in episode 27. As the Storytelling Nonprofit, Vanessa’s focus is on recognizing, collecting and telling stories that help donors connect with our cause. 6) GuideStar (now part of Candid)You need to be sure your organization is listed on GuideStar, and that you keep your listing updated each year. This is the place where foundations and funders will look to verify your information, got make sure you are a legit 501c3. So when you apply for a grant, and when you apply to get listed on other nonprofit sites like TechSoup, they need to find you here. 7) TechSoupThis next one will save you TONS of money on software and tech. Do NOT go to sketchy discount software stores where you could end up with pirated software, or malware. Get the real deal. 8) ECFAFor Christian nonprofit organizations, I want to mention ECFA. Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability. They produce some of the best resources (books, guides, webinars, and more) to guide your organization in areas of good governance and financial accountability. If you are just beginning the process of starting a nonprofit, start here! Use their resources for building a strong board and organizational structure that will serve you well for many years.

The Philanthropy Podcast Website Email Sean at The Philanthropy Podcast   This week on The Philanthropy Podcast, I highlight fundraising resources available to you that are research based and which cite their methods and sources. This episode came as a result of searching for annual appeal techniques that are backed by evidence and struggling to find them. We look at four main resources, The Science of Philanthropy Initiative, the Lilly School of Philanthropy, the Social Innovation Review, and NextAfter to examine what each offers, how they might be useful to you in your practice, and how we can all contribute to a more evidence based approach in our field.   My one request from you this week is to follow The Philanthropy Podcast on one of our social media outlets including: Twitter: @PhilanthropyPod Facebook: The Philanthropy Podcast Facebook Page Linkedin: The Philanthropy Podcast LinkedIn Group   Signup for a free 14 day trial of ScheduleOnce to make your meeting requests more professional (Click here).   Links from this week's episode: Science of Philanthropy Initiative Lilly School of Philanthropy Social Innovation Review NextAfter
