Thanks for mentioning the key word, RETENTION. I think many nonprofits lose sight of this.

And I would like to add one more thing:
Get employee giving programs in place. Easiest to automate and EFT. You will do thank you notes once a year, and people who have $5 deducted from a monthly paycheck aren’t going to miss it, and your nonprofit will be able to continue to get new donors when they tell their coworkers about what you’re doing.

I agree with your assertion that “Training enables and accelerates innovation. It’s good for the employee – it’s good for the employer.” Done well,training is the seed-bed of creativity, excitement, and progress. Nonprofits need to consider fundamental changes in how they facilitate these opportunities to learn. Your point stuck out to me because it dovetailed so nicely with a recent piece I wrote about how nonprofits can change-up their organization to create an environment where associates are engaged with their work, and growing the “sweet spot” in their organizations through learning and collaborations. It’s at http://www.clienttrack.com/wordpress/?p=134 Thanks for the 7 tips.

Wow Pam, great post with lots of good info! The info about foundations having to donate to maintain their status was a real ah-ha moment. I also totally agree on keeping consistent staffing. I’ve seen many charities take a big step back simply because of turnover. Fundraising is a very personal business and so is volunteering; key staff members lead to consistent volunteers and donors.

Our country was also hit hard by the Economic Recession. At least we are seeing some signs of economic recovery now. I hope that we could recover soon from this recession.
