This blog is moving

My new website is finally all done and we’re moving the blog there.  You can now find ALL the great articles for fully funding your nonprofit at www.getfullyfunded.com/blog.

Congrats to Jeni from WordPlayers for winning the Kindle last week!

The devil is in the details

There are LOTS of details you MUST pay attention to if you want to develop great, strong relationships with your donors.

You must spell their name right. Get their salutation right.  Pay attention to special situations, where the husband and wife have different last names.

When you pay attention to these details, you let the donor know they are important to you.  Mess this up and you’ll either get complaints or disappearing donors.


Whee!  We’re counting down to the official launch of my new Get Fully Funded book on Sep 30.  I hope you’re enjoying 30 days of tips here on the blog!

Are you making your donor work too hard?

Don’t make your donor work to figure out how to help you. Always make it easy for them to act.

Always have a clear call to action in your fundraising letters, newsletter, event, or whatever.  If the donor can’t immediately see how they can support your organization, they have room to say “I’ll figure this out later”  which means you won’t get a donation.  Keep your call to action simple and clear, and you’ll be way more likely to get the result you want.


Sep 30 is the day!  My new book Get Fully Funded will be officially launched.  And we’re leading up to it with lots of goodies, like 30 days of tips on teh Get Fully Funded blog.
