Working with Your Board of Directors

Fundraising HayDay ·

2022/09/01

If you work in the nonprofit profession, you will interact with your organization's board of directors. They are instrumental in your fundraising efforts, but that does not mean they are seasoned fundraisers and grant seekers themselves. So how do you best interact with your board towards building a flourishing collaboration? The Board Pro, Christal M. Cherry, joins us with some incredible advice, insights, and positive framework for doing just that.

How NOT to Lead a Grant Workshop

Fundraising HayDay ·

2022/07/21

Dear funders, we appreciate when you offer a grant workshop. It is ALWAYS helpful to learn more about an upcoming application process and have the opportunity to ask questions of you. But not all funder-led workshops are created equal. Join us as we talk about the aspects of these workshops that drive every grant professional to bang their head against the wall, and hear our dream world about the perfect workshop experience.

Capital Campaign Tips

Fundraising HayDay ·

2022/07/07

These days, grant professionals and fundraisers are often asked to tag team on capital campaigns. When raising a significant amount of money in a set time frame for a new building, large technology upgrade, an endowment, a fleet of new vehicles, or any other large-scaled project, it is typically all hands-on deck. We're offering a step-by-step process, highlighting how grants can and should play a role in the process.

Fundraising HayDay ·

2022/06/23

You have probably been there before. You already have a full-time job as a teacher, firefighter, major gifts manager, city clerk, accountant, volunteer coordinator, or "fill-in-the-blank job" here. One day your boss comes in and adds grant research and writing to your other duties as assigned. You don't even know where to begin, much less how to submit a completed grant proposal.

As grant and fundraising professionals, we work with colleagues, boards, partners, other nonprofit agencies, funders, donors, and many other stakeholders. Our job is so much more than bringing in funding.

How To: Sustainability

Fundraising HayDay ·

2022/05/26

It's the dreaded question most funders ask: how are you going to sustain this program when the grant is over? If we are being brutally honest, the answer is probably to write another grant. But we want to be funded, so a more comprehensive and multi-faceted answer is required. Learn all about the benefits of collaboration, fundraising, and more to create the best sustainability answer possible.

Good Enough Now

Fundraising HayDay ·

2022/05/12

The work is piling up - grant deadlines, conference presentations, a new capital campaign, the next fundraising gala, and other duties as assigned. You feel like you're a jack of all trades, but a master of none. How do you get to the place where you feel good enough and are okay with that? Join our conversation with Jess Pettitt, author of Good Enough Now, as she shares how to "do the best we can with what we have some of the time."

Writing Tight for Character Counts

Fundraising HayDay ·

2022/04/28

You know the drill. A funder asks a series of questions, then gives you anywhere from 100 to 1,000 CHARACTERS to answer each question. When you have a million things to share, but a very limited space to do so, how do you fit it all in? Today we're talking writing tight.

Fundraising Across the Pond

Fundraising HayDay ·

2022/04/13

Sure, we all speak English, but are we talking about the same thing? Fundraising is not an exclusively American thing, so we are talking to our friend across the pond. David Burgess, and his firm Apollo Fundraising, provides consultancy, training, and support to arts and cultural organizations. Turns out, we have more in common than we think - and more to learn from one another in getting the job done well.

Grants Gone Wrong

Fundraising HayDay ·

Most every grant proposal requires the creation of goal(s) and objective(s) to demonstrate the change your program will bring about during the grant period.

Fundraising HayDay ·

2022/03/03

It's not unusual to specialize in a specific field of the grant profession. So how do you determine which one fits your career?

Fundraising HayDay ·

2022/01/20

If you have spent any time preparing a grant proposal, managing a grant program, or dealt with the many requirements centered around grant funding, you have most likely thrown up your hands in frustration, and probably more than once. From limited character counts and ridiculous online portals to the abysmal funding levels awarded to nonprofits serving and led by people of color, it's enough to make you want to burn the whole system to the ground.
