| 18 Feb 2022 | Creating a Planned Giving Plan | 00:29:32 | |
Planned giving plans are hard because it’s hard to talk about the end, right? Wrong! Lori Kranczer opens our minds to the possibilities of planned giving outside of estate gifts. While bequests are a form of legacy giving, they’re not the only form. Somehow, along the fundraising journey, the sector began to associate legacy giving with bequests, estate gifts, and post-mortem benevolence most commonly referred to as “planned giving.” The truth is, a legacy gift can be the seed money for an endowment fund, support through a donor-advised fund (DAF), or even a non-cash gift. The distinguishing factor is that the process is donor-centric and the mechanism is tied to the individual or family’s legacy. When we take a broader and more creative approach to addressing planned giving, it becomes easier - both for us and for our supporters! “Everyone has the capacity to do some sort of legacy gift.” I share a story in this episode about a transformational gift an organization I formerly led received through a bequest. The gift was completely unexpected and came from an individual who would not show up on any wealth research engines or top donors list. He was a humble, dedicated, volunteer who donated no more than $100 over the course of any one year. He died unexpectedly and the liquidation of some of his property funded a renovation of one of the organization's oldest buildings. My intent in sharing that story was to demonstrate that planned giving is not an activity reserved for top donors. Lori confirms this belief and stated it far more elegantly: “everyone has the capacity to make some sort of legacy gift.” When and How to Get Started with Planned Giving Planned giving gets so much buzz these days that newer nonprofits may feel pressure to take it on as a fund development initiative. Lori recommends waiting until year ten, and only after annual fundraising is in good shape. For mature organizations that have their annual funding in a healthy place, the time to start is now. Lori reminds us that while planned giving is cemented in a one-on-one conversation, it needs to be part of your organization’s marketing strategy and annual plan. She describes working with her clients to not only prioritize featuring planned giving but to work into gaps or complementary areas of their marketing and communications. Acronyms and Terms Mentioned DAF | Donor-Advised Fund: A donor gifts funds to a public charity (often a Community Foundation) and thereby receives an immediate tax deduction. Over time, the donor can recommend the funds be granted out per their desires. QCD | Qualified Charitable Distribution: This giving vehicle provides a way for donors who are 70.5 or older to donate up to $100,000 total to one or more charities directly from a taxable IRA instead of taking their required minimum distributions. Bequest: a gift of assets that occurs after death, typically through a will. Endowment (fund): a gift to an organization that is held in a fund that receives and dispurses income to the nonprofit on an annual basis.

| 25 Feb 2022 | Getting to Know "Generation Impact" | 00:32:17 | |
The up-and-coming generations have been called many things and accused of many more.

| 04 Mar 2022 | Outcome Driven Fundraising | 00:36:37 | |
The largest expense of most nonprofits is also its greatest asset - people. The human capital cost behind events, campaigns, and even newsletters are large but often overlooked. Ironically, when it comes to building sustainable funding for a cause, it should come as no surprise then that the greatest asset for most nonprofits is the individual giver. No, not the corporate sponsors or the foundation, and definitely not the annual gala or golf outing. When it comes down to the best return on investment of time, energy, and even funds, an individual relationship with a top donor ranks higher than every other channel according to Stephen King, the founder of GrowthForce.

| 08 Apr 2022 | Your Highest and Best Use: How your nonprofit can prioritize and plan for marketing | 00:32:17 | |
A core teaching principle of Do More Good and Nonprofit Hub is that nonprofits have one and only one purpose: to grow a supporter. Without support, you can’t fulfill your mission.

In this episode, Katie talks to Lindsay LaShell, the founder of Open Lines Communication and long-time teacher of Nonprofit Hub’s Marketing Bootcamp portion of Cause Camp. Lindsay shares her wisdom on how nonprofits can prioritize marketing even when they think they don’t have time or capacity.

Donor retention is an ever-increasing concern for nonprofits. We all face the threat of donor attrition. In a fast-paced world where the competition for attention and resources is steep, it can be challenging to find ways to retain our top donors. In this episode, fundraising coach and expert, Adrianna O'Donnel gives us tips to recognize risk areas and strengthen our donor relationships. Rather than ebbing and flowing our communication, Adrianna encourages us to get to know our donors’ preferences and interests. Once we know who they are and what they prefer, we can differentiate them from those doing mass communication or a one-size-fits-all strategy by finding meaningful ways to connect.

| 27 May 2022 | The Enterprise of Being a Small Nonprofit | 00:29:53 | |
Despite the vast majority of nonprofit organizations being small (operating budget of less than $500K), the sector seems obsessed with its most prominent members. These “enterprise-level” organizations are a tiny sliver of the good work, but we tend to give them disproportionate attention and esteem. Why? Is it wrong to be small? What if small is a better design for a particular mission? Katie talks to nonprofit expert Julia Campbell about the enterprise of being small.

Having a podcast series and consistent rollout of webinars seems like the price of admission for any nonprofit trying to scale in the digital age.

| 16 Feb 2024 | Derek Scott -- Creating Direct Mail Campaigns That Get Results | 00:27:41 | |
How do Plato's models of persuasion hold up with respect to direct email marketing over 2,400 years later? According to our guest Derek Scott, pretty reliably! People who see poor results with their direct email marketing campaigns usually make at least one of the following mistakes. 1) They fail to segment their donors when they should be rewarding the most consistent ones and recalibrating for the MIA ones. 2) They excessively manufacture a sense of urgency to the point that recipients are numb to campaigns. 3) They over-rely on pathos (emotional appeals) to coax repeat donations without demonstrating the positive impacts of donors' previous gifts. 4) They over-invest in the bells and whistles of their campaigns and demonstrate that donations just flow back into lavish automation cycles. This episode covers how to craft intelligent and persuasive direct mail marketing campaigns. Efforts that appeal to audiences' logical centers in addition to their emotions, and that won't bombard them when they aren't interested. Derek weaves a marketing ethos that prepares fundraisers for discerning donors. Ones who will ask questions like: "I see that there are struggling parties you aim to help, but what good is my donation if it is just reinvested in future email blasts?" Assuring quality and staying consistent while not overmarketing takes finesse. Stream this episode to hear how Derek balances these elements. Derek Scott is the president of Creator, an agency that specializes in high-powered direct-response copywriting. He founded Creator in 2021 after nearly two decades of writing copy and leading creative teams at agencies serving the non-profit space. Derek has crafted campaigns for thousands of fundraising and marketing efforts, so he knows the art and science of direct response copywriting and design. This means he can lead his team to translate fundraising strategies into creative that empowers non-profit organizations to see the results they want.
