Fundraising is Funny

In this episode we dive into the sometimes cringeworthy world of performative allyship. Join us as we unpack the difference of waving the DEI banner in fundraising while sometimes sidestepping the real, hard work of inclusion.

👊 Punchline: We have to be fearless in standing up to our leadership. If we want to be inclusive, what are we actually doing to help? Ask tough questions and start bringing these issues forward.

Have you ever based a fundraising decision off of a single article or statistic presented in a study? Data is all around us, and statistics are often presented as "best practice" or "latest trends", but are they, really? 👊 Punchline: Be careful when you read headlines. Ask questions, know the source, check for bias, and verify the statistics being presented before you act.

Comparison is the thief of joy. Many nonprofits look at what other organizations are doing and try to replicate their success, expecting the same results. But you are not them, and your donors are not their donors. 👊 The punchline: There is no easy button for improvement. The only competition you have is who you were yesterday. Use your resources to make incremental changes and strive to be the best version of yourself.

We spend a lot of time keeping score with our donors: retention rates, upgrades, downgrades, renewals—the list goes on. We categorize donors and expect certain behaviors without setting clear expectations. But at what cost? 👊 The punchline: Stop keeping score with your donors. Prioritize meaningful metrics and invest in sustainable relationships by shifting from transactional to transformational experiences.
