The data on donor retention is not good. On average, over three quarters of new donors do not make a second gift. Also, the number of individual donors has dropped nearly 20 percent since the beginning of this century. It is not difficult to believe that this large drop is connected to donors feeling unappreciated  and even commoditized.This purely transactional approach to donors is a particular turnoff to younger generations who are used to having lots of choices in everything they do, and need to be acknowledged and invited to become repeat donors.In this episode, we talk about Allison's 3 steps to better donor relationships, and how to increase donor retention using available technology and tools. About AllisonAllison Fine is a pioneer in the use of technology for good. She is the author of four books on the topic, most recently, The Smart Nonprofit: Staying Human Centered in an Automated World with Beth Kanter.

Secure your early bird spot before the price goes up!After my recent discussion with Vic Hancock Fell entitled  Shifting the Power to the People You Exist For I received a thoughtful email from a listener. She wrote:  “It is so interesting to me that white, iNGO fundraisers are centered in this conversation.  As a black fundraiser and content gatherer for more than 16 years, I believe our viewpoint is not often a part of the conversation.  And, I know that some of us have different perspectives.” I appreciated that response, and I wanted to give this listener a chance to share a different perspective about fundraising for iNGOs, one not focused on “white guilt” and “white saviorism”. Vila-Sheree Watson is a multifaceted leader, fundraiser, and content creator, known for her dynamic and soulful approach to creativity and social justice. Born in the South and raised in Oakland, California, Watson's upbringing was deeply influenced by the vibrant arts and culture scene that surrounded her. From a young age, she was drawn to the power of words and storytelling and found solace and inspiration in poetry, art, and music.In this episode, Vila-Sheree generously shares their perspective on the importance of including diverse viewpoints in the conversation around iNGO fundraising and storytelling.We discuss the negative impact of focusing too much on "white guilt" and "white saviorism" and the need to move towards authentic storytelling.Connect with Vila-Sheree: Email: vwatson@corusinternational.org LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/vilasheree/ Inclusive Language Guide from Oxfam About Julia Campbell, the host of the Nonprofit Nation podcast:Named as a top thought leader by Forbes and BizTech Magazine, Julia Campbell (she/hers) is an author, coach, and speaker on a mission to make the digital world a better place.She wrote her book, Storytelling in the Digital Age: A Guide for Nonprofits, as a roadmap for social change agents who want to build movements using engaging digital storytelling techniques.

Meta Verified and more - what do you need to know about social media in 2023? Join my live training How to Stand Out on Social Media in 2023. Secure your early bird spot before the price goes up!We know that stories are the lifeblood of a vibrant nonprofit communications strategy. They play a critical role in marketing, fundraising, donor relations, and internal comms. A compelling nonprofit story will inspire lifelong supporters. However, there is a problem with a lot of nonprofit storytelling. Traditional marketing teaching tells us to know our audience's pain points, exploit them, and then offer a solution. This can be particularly manipulative in nonprofit marketing since we're working on some of the world's toughest problems. Those we serve are experiencing tremendous pain and often working to overcome insurmountable challenges.This is where trauma-informed storytelling comes in. On today's episode, my guest Maria Bryan shows us the ways that our sector must tell stories that dignify, respect, and protect the health and well-being of those we serve. Maria is a nonprofit marketing and messaging strategist who helps nonprofit leaders tell impactful stories that do no harm by speaking about trauma-informed marketing. She has over 15 years in marketing communications in the public sector, a master's degree in public administration, and a bachelor's degree in journalism. In this episode, we discuss the importance of storytelling for nonprofits, how to become a trauma-informed marketer and fundraiser, and how to take care of yourself in this often grueling and exhausting work.

You've been told that time is precious. So why don't we treat it like the invaluable, nonrenewable resource it is?I was thrilled to have Jenny Blake on my podcast - not just because I love her books, her podcast, her newsletter - but mostly, her philosophy on time, on work, and on managing it all.Jenny is an award-winning author and podcaster who loves helping people move from friction to flow through smarter systems. Her latest book, Free Time: Lose the Busywork, Love Your Business, is an operating manual for heart-based business owners and anyone who wants to create better systems in their work and expand their revenue with easy and joy. Jenny doesn't subscribe to the hustle more, always-on, wake up at 5 AM and meditate/work out/journal culture. She writes:“Time isn't money. Time is life force. And yours is precious! I'm obsessed with finding smarter strategies and systems for freeing our mind, time, and team to do more of our best work—and be truly present during our time off.”The philosophy and the framework she teaches in this book have truly changed the way I manage my time - and the way I even THINK about time as a heart-based business owner.​Listen in to our conversation, and you'll learn not just how to be more "productive" but how to be more intentional in the way you spend your most precious resource - your time!In this episode, we discuss the common obstacles that keep so many of us stuck, burned out, drained, and spinning our wheels - and Jenny's thoughtful and intentional solutions. If you are “beset by the Burdensome B's” as Jenny calls them - “bored, bottlenecked, burned out, or buried by bureaucracy,” then this episode is for you.Referenced in this episode:Free Time bookPivot bookJenny's podcast and websiteThe Unfortunate Middle About Julia Campbell, the host of the Nonprofit Nation podcast:Named as a top thought leader by Forbes and BizTech Magazine, Julia Campbell (she/hers) is an author, coach, and speaker on a mission to make the digital world a better place.

Even as a small shop nonprofit?That's exactly what Amy Gibson did, and she's on the podcast to spill her secrets. Amy is a Muncie native and went to Ball State University. Directly out of college she started working at a telecommunications company that had 13 regional sales offices nationwide. She worked her way up in the company from the Sales Assistant to the Executive Assistant to the President doing everything from training new sales assistants to running events and everything in between. (Sounds kind of like many of our nonprofit career trajectories!)Amy is now the wildly successful Director of Resource Development at the Boys & Girls Clubs of Muncie - a position she took in February of 2020. Since Amy implemented Bloomerang and started tracking donor retention they have gone from an average of 26% to 46%. By being able to see their donor retention they were able to create a sense of importance around doing programs to increase donor retention resulting in overall revenue. We talk about the ways in which she loves on her donors, how she uses software to automate what she can, and her favorite and most challenging parts of being a Director of Resource Development.

Vic Hancock Fell co-founded a small international development charity when she was fresh out of university, age 21. She didn't feel it or know it at the time, but looking back 14 years later, she describes this as what she calls “peak White Saviour.”Most recently, through the context of her work at UK based Raising Futures Kenya, as a White/Western led INGO, she has been more active in advocating for responsibility to acknowledge and minimize White power in this space both as individuals and as organizations. In this episode, we take a look at the concept of "shift the power" and why it is so important for us as socially purposed organizations, especially those working in global solidarity.
