The data on donor retention is not good. On average, over three quarters of new donors do not make a second gift. Also, the number of individual donors has dropped nearly 20 percent since the beginning of this century. It is not difficult to believe that this large drop is connected to donors feeling unappreciated  and even commoditized.This purely transactional approach to donors is a particular turnoff to younger generations who are used to having lots of choices in everything they do, and need to be acknowledged and invited to become repeat donors.In this episode, we talk about Allison's 3 steps to better donor relationships, and how to increase donor retention using available technology and tools. About AllisonAllison Fine is a pioneer in the use of technology for good. She is the author of four books on the topic, most recently, The Smart Nonprofit: Staying Human Centered in an Automated World with Beth Kanter.

As we emerge from COVID, it is easy to anticipate that giving patterns will change, again. Simultaneously, new generations of potential donors are accumulating wealth, and they expect to be engaged as “individuals,” not “donor segments.”How does a fundraiser navigate these trends?Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) and Behavioral Economics Modeling can successfully address these challenges. Careful observation of donor behavior through A.I. modeling services can provide more accurate insights into donor sentiment. Today’s professional fundraisers can use these insights to individually optimize giving at the scale of direct response fundraising, enabling nonprofit organizations to know precisely how much to ask of each donor, at each moment in time, over a lifetime of giving.In this podcast episode, my guest Michael Gorriarán  will provide insights on the imperative for A.I. services in fundraising, including how it works, what to expect, and how to implement it with integrity.You will learn about:The opportunity for A.I. in fundraisingHow to implement A.I. in a way that is free of bias, secure, and respects donor privacyCase studies from peer experiences with A.I. in fundraising optimizationMichael Gorriarán is President of Arjuna Solutions, an artificial intelligence services provider serving consumer-facing businesses.

It's no secret that charities of all sizes have had to rethink their gala, auction, and fundraising event strategy in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. How can we continue to set an event strategy - virtual or in-person - in light of COVID-19? What's changed, and how can we adapt? My guest this week is an expert on events, auctions, and galas.

The words we use matter. The stories we tell have an impact. Yet, our grants are often full of old, recycled language and buzzword descriptors that are more than just boring — they’re harmful. Grant writers play a critical role in branding the organization and crafting the ways in which it is presented to funders, and thus they are critical in integrating social justice into fundraising programs - and the overall culture and work of their organization.This podcast episode explores how grant writers at all stages of their career can ground their grant writing practices in race, equity, and social justice. Catherine Ashton discusses how the ways in which we talk, teach, and practice nonprofit work can uphold harmful systems of oppression - or we can use our writing to further anti-racist, community-centric principles.Catherine Ashton (she/her) is on a mission to change the way nonprofits raise money. As the founder of Giant Squid Group LLC, Catherine works with nonprofits to land donors, win grants, and fund their works.  She is a sought-after coach, speaker, and strategist locally and nationally, and specializes in helping organizations marry best practices and mission-aligned innovation to drive systems-level change.

See you there!If you’ve got a Strategic Planning document on a shelf somewhere that was written after an enormous number of meetings but never cracked again, you are in good company. Many nonprofits spend time, resources, and precious bandwidth creating a Strategic Plan - never to look at it again. Yikes. In an ideal world, a Strategic Plan covers the why and how of your existence, and encompasses broad strategic goals and strategies that you want to accomplish in the near future. It defines what an organization should do within the next two to five years - and how to get there.But before your nonprofit ventures into the nonprofit strategic planning process, there are several considerations you need to take into account.Carol Hamilton is an organization effectiveness consultant who helps nonprofits become more strategic and innovative for greater mission impact. She facilitates strategic planning, helps organization’s prepare for executive transitions and provides training.Carol trains frequently on leadership, strategy and innovation topics and is the host of the Mission: Impact podcast. She graduated from Swarthmore College and has her Masters in Organization Development from American University.Here are some of the topics we discussed:Common mistakes nonprofits make when making a strategic planHow to know if you have a successful strategic planWhat are some of the elements that go into a successful processHow long is the process and how often to revisitHow can we do strategic planning in uncertain times?
