Giving Tuesday: Why It’s Only Mediumly Important

2021-08-13T15:37:00-04:00

Nonprofit organizations are competing for inbox and newsfeed space with the majority of all other [...]

Why Your Board Cares About Fundraising Compliance and You Should, Too

2019-12-16T06:17:36-05:00

Your nonprofit’s Board of Directors sets the direction of the entire organization.

At the same time, your nonprofit’s employees and volunteers look to the board for the materials, technology, and approval to conduct their solicitation activities. Any real or perceived disconnect between board and staff can affect your whole nonprofit’s fundraising success! Bridging that gap begins with charitable solicitation (aka fundraising) compliance. Currently, forty-four states have laws surrounding a nonprofit’s charitable solicitation activities, [...]
