Donor stories are at the heart of human connection. They’re not just testimonials; they’re the voices of those who believe in your mission and help fuel your cause. When you share these authentic stories, you build trust, inspire others to act, and cultivate lasting relationships.

In nonprofit fundraising, storytelling is everything. But here’s the twist: it’s not your organization that should be the hero—your donor is the real champion of your story. When you make them the protagonist, your appeals become more personal, powerful, and impactful.

Impostor syndrome: “I don't know what I'm doing. It's only a matter of time until everyone finds out."

Growth mindset: "I don't know what I'm doing yet. It's only a matter of time until I figure it out."

The highest form of self-confidence is believing in your ability to learn.

That’s an interesting identity that I hadn’t thought about before, but a great way to think about your brand!
Want a memorable brand?

Aim for a LEGO-like identity: universal, adaptable, and a little playful.

When it comes to nonprofit fundraising, the adage “a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush” rings true.

Donor retention—building strong relationships with supporters—is more impactful than seeking new donors. When needed, word-of-mouth referrals from engaged donors can be transformative.

You're spot on, Erik! Real growth multiplies opportunities—from expanding the team to deepening client impact and shaping industry progress. This ripple effect is what makes business growth truly meaningful. #npsky

The new year is right around the corner and it's the perfect time to connect with your amazing donors.

Drop them a friendly note to say thanks, share a heartfelt story about your impact this year, and give a teaser of the exciting things on deck for 2025 that they can be part of.

This is so spot on! When you put gratitude first, everything else falls into place. Love the idea of thanking twice as much as asking - such a simple but powerful way to build real connections. 🙌​​​​​​​​​​​​
One of the most impactful ways to nurture relationships and drive growth in your nonprofit is by cultivating a culture of gratitude. A simple yet powerful principle to follow is this: thank at least twice as often as you ask. Make gratitude a cornerstone of your communication strategy.

Stuck in a branding rut?

Grab coffee with your supporters and just listen. They'll tell you exactly what makes your org special.

Sometimes the best ideas come from random convos.

Strong branding helps nonprofits build trust, attract donors, and communicate their mission clearly. It creates emotional connections, making people more likely to support the cause. A distinct brand identity also helps stand out in a crowded charitable landscape.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

I love this quote, we should all aspire to serve our end users and be our authentic best. Thanks @rose.bsky.team !
“We are very clear that our primary user is the end user that we’re serving, and so we’re building features for them, ” Wang said. “If brands come, great, but you should be authentic; that’s what we tell them. It’s not going to work if you try to sound like a brand.” I did say this 👍
My colleague @katiehicks.bsky.social at Marketing Brew interviewed Bluesky COO @rose.bsky.team. "Bluesky has more than 21 million users. Where does it go from here?"
