I totally agree about thanking people. If nonprofit staff and volunteers spent more time thanking folks, fundraising would be much easier!

The point of my post is that the Board failed both the CEO and its member agencies by not correctly realizing how the United Way donors would react, especially given that it was billed as a “Sixfold increase in her compensation” not as an “error correction.”

[...] No one questioned her performance. Indeed, she set a record for the agency’s annual campaign. Her compensation had risen to $1.2 million for the year because of an $800,000 payment for eight years-worth of back retirement she was owed. [...]

Comment on Nonprofit Fundraising Pyramids Are Not Built from the Top Down by cfctreasures

Sandra,
Thanks for your comments, I think that sometimes there is such an emphasis on “fundraising results” that management can forget that it takes time for a supporter to become a major donor, and that there are many factors along the way, some that the non-profit can influence, others that are completely outside any action by the non-profit (e.g. unexpected family expenses, etc.) that definitely affects the possible outcome and the possible timeframes.

For anyone who is not familiar with the StepbyStepFundraising website, Sandra has an excellent selection of products on how to run successful special events and direct mail campaigns.

Take a look.

Regards,

Comment on Nonprofit Fundraising Pyramids Are Not Built from the Top Down by Sandra Sims

I like your perspective. I agree wholeheartedly – all supporters should be considered “major donors.” Additional attention should be given to those who give larger amounts, but not to the exclusion of the rest of the audience.

The massive response to the Haiti earthquake is a great example. “Micro donations” of $5-25 have added up to millions. All of those donors gave for a reason. As the nonprofits live up to their promise to help the people of Haiti they could be gaining thousands of not just one-time donors, but ongoing support as well.
