There is far too much focus on funds in fundraising. I spent some time considering how we ever got to a place where nurturing relationships with donors became a novel idea. That’s when I realized it was because the fundraising folks became disconnected from their organizations’ work first. Many fundraisers I’ve talked to or observed seem to have little-to-no passion for the causes they are working to fund. It’s not their fault and it’s not because they don’t care. They do care–very much so. It’s what has become the nature of their work as a result of how we’re running nonprofit organizations. Have you looked at job postings for nonprofit work lately? If you have, you’ve seen the long list of demanding and far-reaching responsibilities being requested of employees paired with a salary that does not represent the level of effort, skill, and experience required to successfully perform. High turnover rates have become commonplace. This suggests employees are not feeling appreciated for their work, experiencing burnout, or don’t feel fulfilled in their position. People who choose a career in the nonprofit sector do not do so because they are seeking lucrative careers. There is far more money to be made doing similar work in the for-profit sector. People who choose this work have a heart for it. They have a desire and a commitment to be part of progress, of healing, of helping. These are people who want to do good in this world. But, are nonprofit organizations letting them be a part of the mission? Or, are they left feeling used up in a chase for cold cash? Perhaps the first step in developing systems and communications that radically connect donors to the work of the organization is to develop systems within the organization that allow all of the employees to experience the reward of being an active part of the heart of the organization’s work.  #fundraising #donorengagement #thoughtleadership #mindset #employeeengagement #nonprofitorganization #nonprofitleadership

🚩 **Red Flags to Watch for in Nonprofit Job Posts** 🚩 In the nonprofit world, it's vital to distinguish between roles seeking true fundraising expertise and those just after your contacts. Here are some phrases that might indicate they want your Rolodex, not your skills: 1. **"Extensive network within the local nonprofit community"** 🕵️♂️ 2. **"Deep connections with regional donors and stakeholders"** 💬 3. **"Established relationships with local philanthropic leaders"** 🏛️ 4. **"Strong ties to community influencers and decision-makers"** 🌐 5. **"Proven track record of engaging with local benefactors"** 💼 🚨 **Ethical Reminder:** It’s unethical for organizations to rely solely on your personal network. True fundraising is about building sustainable, impactful relationships. 🔍 **Pro Tip:** Look for roles that value your strategic, analytical, and creative skills alongside your connections. Stay sharp and ensure your next role values your expertise, not just your contacts! 🌟 #NonprofitLife #Fundraising #CareerTips #RedFlags #EthicsInFundraising #NonProfit #NonProfitFundraising

Searching for a new job is time-consuming and potentially may even lead to burnout if you don't have a defined job search process in place. So, it's important to create an action plan and strategize to ensure that you are making the most of your job search efforts. 📝 Check out our latest article for recommendations and tools for streamlining your job search and improving your job interviewing skills. ⬇️ https://okt.to/oSCPcU #article #blogs #leadership #charity #nonprofit #philanthropy #charities #nonprofits #notforprofit #blog #blogging #nonprofitwork #nonprofitlife #network #association #nonprofitorganization #community #Canada #jobs #jobsearch #jobseeker #hiring #interviewing

Over the last several months, I have had dozens of conversations with colleagues in the nonprofit sector. Whether I was interviewing for a full-time role or having conversations about Piece of the Puzzle and how I can help small and medium-sized nonprofits, prospect research is frequently a topic of discussion. It is no wonder. Development professionals are feeling the pressure to raise more money from fewer donors. In an interview, I always pivot away from the idea of researching prospective donors and towards the idea of deepening the relationships with their current donor base. Until an organization sees an 80-90% retention rate of their current donors, prospect research to build revenue is like running on a treadmill. You are running fast but going nowhere. Develop such strong partnerships with your current donor base, volunteer base, and board that they are naturally conducting prospect research for you. They tell the story of your excellent work when out with friends; they want to bring others into the work with them and build a movement for your work. A movement is only a movement once others are moving forward without you. I firmly believe that if you spend time developing authentic, transparent relationships with those already in your circle, you will be farther ahead in three years than those who put all their eggs in the prospect research basket. #leadership #nonprofits #fundraising #strategy #prospectresearch #opentowork
