Fundraising and Prioritizing the 10,000 things on your nonprofit plate! Do you find yourself doing too much as a nonprofit leader, fundraising development director, or grant writer? I bet that’s a resounding, “yes!” I get it. You have a to-do list that never ends. You have looming monsters that have been on that to-do list for more than a month, er, year. Those things just never seem to get done.

The Burning Question to Help You Take Time off from Your Nonprofit It's been a busy week and I am back in the full-time swing of things. Why? School started! If you are a parent, you know what I am talking about. Summer is real for taking mandatory time away from the computer when you have kids. But it's a great mandatory time away. If we try to 'work through holidays' we may end up feeling guilty for not spending time with our kids or burned out by trying to work regular hours and getting frustrated with everyone in the house. You might say, "Just send your kid to summer camp or to daycare!" Well, that's not always the solution for every working parent. Summer camp and daycare can cost a pretty penny, your kids may dread it, and there could be major transportation issues. Plus, you actually might want to spend more time with the kiddos during these times off ;) A better solution may be setting up your year so you work shorter hours during summer, Christmas break, and other holidays. It may not feel like you even have that choice to do that at this point in your life, but let me tell you it is possible. ------------------------------------------------------ ✨💌 Visit https://grantwritingandfunding.com/ for the Hub Haven Grant Writing Resources 🤩 Want to Join the 2-Day Nonprofit Consulting Conference happening August 25th and 26th, 2022?

How Nonprofits can Share Stories of Impact that Honor the Dignity of Clients Storytelling is an integral part of fundraising, grant writing, and anything nonprofit! But there can come a time when you might be storytelling for clickbait and not even realizing what your nonprofit is doing! ------------------------------------------------------ ✨💌 Visit https://grantwritingandfunding.com/ for the Hub Haven Grant Writing Resources 👉💰🖥️ Grant Writing Master Course: Get sample grants, logic models, videos, and more.

Join the Nonprofit Strategic Planning Master Course to schedule out your year and to increase diverse funding strategies: https://grantwritingandfunding.com/nonprofit-strategic-planning/ ------------------------------------------------------ I have seen nonprofit fundraising teams write the most emotive stories to try and pull on people's heartstrings to give! I get it. Your nonprofit needs funding and these stories are emotional. But the problem is that this emotional storytelling (whether via video, pictures, blogs, etc.) can actually dishonor your beneficiaries. Just think about if your clients or beneficiaries read or watched what you wrote. Would they feel empowered? Or, would they feel disempowered? Mary Gladstone-Highland, CEO of Spark Group Consulting, is on the Grant Writing & Funding podcast and YouTube video to discuss how to share your nonprofit’s mission without misery through your story-telling.

How to Find Ideal Nonprofit Clients That Pay for Your Services Getting a nonprofit client is amazing when you are a nonprofit consultant. Until it isn’t amazing. I’ve seen many nonprofit consultants pull their hair out (including me!) when they get the wrong type of client. ✨ The one that keeps negotiating your price down. ✨ The one that asks for continued revisions of grants outside of the scope of the contract. ✨ The one that doesn’t respect your boundaries. So how do you figure out who and what your ideal client is? Well, that’s what Mandy Pearce from Funding from Good and Mazarine Treyz from Wild Woman Fundraising share today!
