    #321- Why Your Email Strategy Impacts Fundraising

    If you’ve ever been frustrated by email newsletters that fall flat (or even worse, end up in the dreaded unsubscribe pile, this episode of Nonprofit Lowdown is for YOU! 💡 In today’s episode, I’m breaking down the 10 most common email newsletter mistakes I see nonprofits making—and how to FIX them! ✨ 🔑 Highlights include: Too long? Simplify and cut the clutter! Is it relevant to me? Answer the “What’s in it for me?” question! Not frequent enough? Don’t be afraid to email regularly—value > frequency. Bad subject lines? Your subject line is your first impression. Make it count! Too organizational-centric? Think about your audience’s needs, not just your own. Not checking your stats? Track click-throughs, replies & real engagement—not just open rates. Dirty email list? Time for a clean-up to ensure you're reaching the right people! Too many CTAs? Focus on ONE clear action per email. Too fancy? Keep it simple—clean and readable > over-designed. Boring content? Inject personality and a strong point of view! Be remarkable, not beige! This episode is packed with practical tips that will transform how you communicate with your audience and boost your nonprofit’s engagement. Ready to send emails that get opened and read?

    #320- Building Trust Through Curiosity

    In today’s episode, we dive into the transformative power of seeing the world through someone else's eyes. When we understand the world from their perspective, we gain a deeper understanding of people and connect in more meaningful ways. It’s a humbling reminder that the greatest honor we can have is to be a conduit for somebody else’s story. We also discuss the fundraising landscape in 2025, and why now is the time to focus on individual and major gift fundraising. With changes on the horizon at both the federal and state levels, relying on government funds may no longer be a sustainable option. It’s time to double down on personal connections, relationships, and empowering donors to make the impact they want to see in the world. Key Takeaways: The importance of seeing the world through others' perspectives. How empathy and understanding can help us truly connect and support others. Why being a conduit for someone else’s story is a powerful and humbling role. Fundraising in 2025: Why focusing on individual and major gifts is crucial. How to prepare for a shifting landscape in funding at the federal and state levels. Contact: Have questions or want more advice? Reach out at hello@rheawong.com. Thank you for listening!
