Peer-to-Peer Fundraising Done Right: How To Soar to Success!

The new changes for FASB financial reporting are now applicable for 2018 for many non-profit organizations. In this presentation, we’ll share the implications of the new standards, the impact on non- profits, and discuss how organizations can tell their story through their financial statements while staying transparent.

When I started fundraising, phrases like donor attrition, lapsed donors, or low donor retention stressed me out, and I know I’m not alone. Unfortunately, most of the time when we get advice about how to better retain our donors, it’s a one-size-fits-all old-school methodology that doesn’t work for us. The fundraising landscape is changing rapidly and the way funders want to work with nonprofits is too. The methodology we are going to talk about in this webinar is a totally different way to fundraise from the beginning AND a different way to steward your donors that ensures alignment, engagement, and retention.

The development profession is rife with incidences of implicit bias, microaggressions, and racism as experienced by professionals of color, who face constant tension in navigating donor, funder and board interactions to bring in necessary financial support for their organizations. This webinar will explore the role of decision-makers to identify, understand, and disrupt system-wide deficiencies that thwart the growth of people of color in leadership positions in the sector.

Earned income is an essential revenue strategy for many nonprofit organizations. In 2018, NPQ brought you a powerful multi-part series called Mastering the Nonprofit Business Model, which included a classic session by Kate Barr, CEO of Propel Nonprofits, on the particular dynamics of earned income: how it works, the management and leadership requirements, the unique effects on organizational culture, and more. Given the unprecedented challenges 2020 poses to nonprofit earned income approaches, we have asked Kate to come back and discuss what the sector is learning about managing and innovating around earned income in a Covid-19 and economic recession context. We'll pull key elements of her 2018 webinar and then be in live dialogue about what's changed, what remains true, and real-life strategies for maximizing earned income in today's complex environment. We'll also have time for live Q&A.
