When nonprofit leaders and volunteers feel the passion leave, it is a scary time for a leader who is trying to decide whether to move forward to move on. Let's talk about The Passion Fallacy.

What happens when you clearly understand who you are trying to help, and are COMPLETELY WRONG about who can help you help them? We're Ted and Lisa Snyder, and between us have been nonprofit volunteers, leaders, staff, board members, and consultants.

Of all the leadership principles that we've learned over and over again over the years, there is one that has transformed the work we do with nonprofits that we have only heard taught ONCE. We're Ted and Lisa Snyder, and between us have been nonprofit volunteers, leaders, staff, board members, and consultants. The rules we're talking about today is "The Rule of 3s and 10s". Whether you've been growing and you're starting to feel the wheels coming off or you're coming up to a new level of leadership, understanding this will give you valuable insight into what's going on behind-the-scenes as increasing numbers starts to put pressure on your systems and structures.

Events! If done correctly, these are the moments that will build and sustain your organization into the next 18 months. If done incorrectly, though, these can kill off your donors and your volunteerism We're Ted and Lisa Snyder, and between us have been nonprofit volunteers, leaders, staff, board members, and consultants. We have seen small events raise thousands and events with hundreds barely break even. We've seen free events make a huge impact for a nonprofit AND we've seen expensive galas make a huge impact for a nonprofit. The question about the success of the event is NOT "Was the event successful?". The question goes deeper than that, with an important focus on the upcoming weeks and months. Let's talk about it!

Every nonprofit we've come across is looking for a way to secure more donations and/or more donors. Maybe yours is different, but in case it's not... Have you ever considered which donors you're graced to reach and which ones might be actually pulling more out of your organization than the money they're putting in? We're Ted and Lisa Snyder, and between us have been nonprofit volunteers, leaders, staff, board members, and consultants. The people you are specifically graced to work with are the difference between an organization that feels like work and an organization that is working. This also applied to your donors! Today we're talking about identifying the donors that inherently "get you" so that your efforts have better impact in your fundraising. Have a question for us about this? Email us at [email protected]
