In a whirlwind of nonprofit questions from viewers, Julia C. Patrick and Tony Beall splash into the world of fundraising mysteries.  "We need to diversify our funding streams," Tony begins, setting the tone for a conversation that's part strategy session, part confessional. From the complex dance of fundraising committees to the cutting-edge world of cryptocurrency donations, these nonprofit mavens dissect the industry's most pressing questions with surgical precision and infectious enthusiasm.

How do fundraising committees work with board members?    Committees can serve as talent pipelines and engagement platforms, with board members actively recruiting committee members.

Should nonprofits accept cryptocurrency donations?  Yes, but carefully evaluate organizational readiness, donor demographics, and infrastructure.

What's the typical fundraising performance ratio?    Generally 1:5 to 1:10 for development officers, varying by specific role and organization.

Are printed annual reports still relevant?  Offer both print and digital versions, tailoring to donor preferences and organizational resources.

How should fundraisers demonstrate their value?    Beyond monetary metrics, highlight pipeline development, donor retention, and mission impact.
