Increase Giving by Engaging Your Volunteer Programs

Increase Giving by Engaging Your Volunteer Programs

Volunteers are more than just helpers; they are the backbone of any successful nonprofit. Their time and dedication translate into immense value, making them some of the most significant contributors to your cause. By recognizing and celebrating their efforts, you not only retain their support but also inspire others to join your mission. One thing is clear: when volunteers see themselves as partners in your mission, their commitment deepens, and their contributions grow. Engage your volunteers, and you’ll find not only dedicated supporters but also your greatest donors.

Hiring Fundraising Staff

Hiring Fundraising Staff

The major gift fundraisers are not magicians. They can’t simply pull their millionaire contacts and tell them to give to your ministry now that they work for you. It just does not happen that way. If you have a large pool of middle donors and/or current major donors that need to be cultivated, then you are ready to hire a frontline fundraiser. Here is some fundraiser hiring best practices:

Give it a Rest: Why DEI is not WOKE

Give it a Rest: Why DEI is not WOKE

In a recent public statement, Fit Fundraising, openly supported Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI), emphasizing its importance for marginalized members in nonprofit development programs. This move sparked unexpected backlash, with accusations of embracing ‘woke’ left-wing politics. However, DEI and ‘woke-ism’ are not the same. DEI aims to create inclusive environments, appreciating and meeting everyone where they are, and removing barriers based on capability, education, and opportunity. Unlike the divisive nature of ‘woke-ism,’ DEI unites us and strengthens our communities. At Fit Fundraising, we stand for what is right, not for going ‘woke.’ Join us in supporting true diversity and inclusion.

You Must Meet with Donors
