    11 amazing fundraising truths discovered by new writers

    We asked two new fundraising (and very successful) writers who have been doing some very great work what they know about fundraising that's making them succeed. Here's what they told us: Write as one person connecting with one person. Avoid the word "we" -- unless it very clearly means you the reader and I the writer. Start your first draft with this phrase: I'm writing to you today because... Use the word you a lot. Articulate the fundraising offer early and often. Tell a story of need, not success. Ask clearly for money. (Don't hint around!) Write at a 6th grade reading level. Include a P.S. and restate whatever is the most important thing in your message. Have a deadline, and mention it often. Keep the organization out of the way -- make it about what the donor can do. If you're new to the work, or feel intimidated by it, this list can push you way up your learning curve, and fast!

    Engagement fundraising -- how you raise the big bucks from the happiest donors

    This is a powerful and super-informative interview with Greg Warner, founder of MarketSmart who also hosts a great podcast called Engagement Fundraising. The secret to accelerating your fundraising program is this: find the right level of engagement and giving for every donor, especially: Those who will leave your organization a bequest. Those with the capacity to become mid-level or major donors. How do you discover this? Some combination of science and magic? Or just ask them? You'll love Greg's energy and passion as he describes all the love we're missing by not asking -- engaging with -- donors.

    Ultimate Fundraising Lesson

    The most important thing you can learn about fundraising -- the one thing that can make the difference between mediocrity and big-time success -- it's this: It's not about you. It's about your donor! It's so easy to talk about how great our organization is ... and to forget that donors don't give because you're awesome. They give because they are awesome. That's why successful fundraising is about donors, not about us.

    3 things that are probably wrong with your nonprofit website

    We've looked at a lot of nonprofit websites. More than is good for our mental health, frankly. And we've found three things to be wrong with nearly all of them: Your website doesn't present some kind of need that the donor can meet. The idea of giving is not clear and strong. You've created it to make your leadership and board happy. We'll show you how to fix these common issues and transform your website into the fundraising vehicle you want.
