Take Aways:
New era – donors give to an agency that is fiscally responsible and that it is having an impact meeting a documented need.
A non-profit is a tax status, not a business model – don’t focus only on cost recovery.
To attract donors, you need to be a high performance nonprofit.
Communicate, communicate, communicate – donors won’t give if they don’t know where you are and what you do.
High performance nonprofits are sexy – they have an easier time attracting and retaining high-quality staff, board and donors.
Donors give based on their self-interests and philanthropy is a heart-centered activity. If you cannot connect with their hearts – you won’t get their money.
