What a week it was! Among other adventures last week, I met and learned with famed fundraiser Roger Craver at the fabulous Engage Conference.
Roger is a guy who doesn’t hold back. He shares what he knows, sees and suggests with absolutely no restraint.
You may agree with him or not, but his bold, evidence-based recommendations are a huge gift to the rest of us. Roger always gives you something that’s worthy of consideration. Whether you follow his guidance or not, the process of consideration itself will move your fundraising forward.
Roger’s main message today is that organizations like yours are losing 7 of 10 donors every year due to fairy-tale fundraising. Here’s what you should do about it:
I’m in for this conference, and want to tell you about it before the limited number of seats (just 125) are gone. It’s a first-time in-person conference sponsored by FundRaising Success—
This simple idea is driving a national movement—On Tuesday, November 27, charities like yours are coming together with families and individuals, businesses, communities and and other nonprofits around the world to transform the way people participate in the giving season. Refreshing, right?
Our daughter Charlotte is a dedicated Brownie and I was wowed by the Girl Scouts’ high-impact fundraising as I tackled her Brownie re-registration forms this weekend.
