Rather, our sector’s fundraising practices are driving donors to avoid our communications because most nonprofits fail to understand and provide value. Do this so your donors get more value out of their relationships with you and your organization’s mission: FIND SOLITUDE: Sit in a quiet room with a blank sheet of paper or a whiteboard.

I believe nonprofit staff needs to embrace new technologies now! Sometimes I wonder if lots of nonprofit staff might not be donating. If that’s the case, then it explains why so many nonprofits have such poor retention rates.

If not, don’t waste your life working for someone who is leading you and the rest of the organization to failure. Why do they fail?

Does your organization stink? Let’s face it, some nonprofits just aren’t worth it. The organization has a weak case for support or it’s absent altogether. There are too many silos hindering cooperation or blatantly creating turf wars that serve the interests of some selfish employees but not the donors or the organization and its purpose. The donors’ needs, interests, wishes, desires, and dreams are not important to the organization.
