Welcome, Nonprofit Professionals:
In May I asked for nonprofit executives willing to share their expertise on what's working -- and what isn't -- in donor fundraising and development.
My aim was to share the report that resulted, but only with the dozen-plus experts (representing nonprofits with combined annual revenues of US$14 bil) who agreed to be interviewed.
But at the Land Trust Alliance communications manager Peshie liked the report so much she asked to reprint it, so LTA's member organizations could share with their boards.
Featured in LTA's e-news, the report garnered the highest click-throughs of the issue. That's when I decided the report might be useful for you and your board members, too.
A hat tip to Peshie Chaifetz for her creative genius. She thought up 99.9 percent of the new title for the report I share with you now: What's Working in Donor Fundraising and Development Today?
You can print, reprint and share freely using the Creative Commons version on my website (the special license makes it easier) or scroll down for a short introduction and key findings.
If you prefer a PDF, e-mail me. I'll send to you.
Until next month,

More than a dozen U.S. nonprofit pros reveal what’s working -- and what’s not -- in everything from donor acquisition to social media. Good ammunition for your next board meeting:
Representing organizations with over $14 billion in combined annual revenues, some of the top nonprofit professionals in the U.S. recently shared their insights with me on the state of donor fundraising and development.
A few of the key findings in this exclusive report:
- Marked by "fragile followers," social media proves effective for some (but not all)
- Donors really are changing, in four specific ways
- Online's potential is even bigger than you think, but direct mail still rules retention
- An increasingly competitive nonprofit landscape is a growing concern
Multi-channel marketing holds huge promise (with a donor communications caveat)
- Also includes a follow-up section with suggestions for improving donor development at your organization
