For 20 yrs, I’ve been talking about the connection between money beliefs & asking for money. It’s complicated & there aren't many places to explore what's really going on. Hope my new free Money Beliefs Guidebook helps - Link in bio #nonprofit #fundraising #philanthropy #money

Kids whose parents were entrepreneurs are 60% more likely to become founders. By using data on adoptees, this paper shows that while about 1/3 of the effect is heritable, 2/3 is upbringing. It is also strongest from mother to daughter & from father to son. econstor.eu/bitstream/10419/…

Donors respond most to #fundraising communications that keep things simple – letters and emails that talk about specific outcomes #donors can make possible with their gifts.

Keep these traits of #donors in mind when writing to them. Get to the point, and tell them how they can help with something they care about! #fundraising

So many of us in #nonprofits are deeply #empathetic which is wonderful 💖but it also means many of us struggle with #boundaries 😳 It's necessary to learn to set boundaries so you can stay in this work for the long run. #leadership #fundraising #philanthropy #portland #pdx
