Nonprofit Trivia: What Do You Know About Donor Journeys?

This week on the Nonprofit Jenni Show, it’s time for a round of Nonprofit Trivia about Donor Journeys! Test your knowledge about the best ways to keep donors engaged in your mission after they’ve given their first monetary donation to your nonprofit. Learn how donors want to get involved with your mission and how they prefer to keep in touch.

COVID-Safe Fundraising Event Inspiration + Individual Fundraising Tips

This year has been full of unexpected challenges, so this week on the Nonprofit Jenni Show, let’s talk about how to plan for the new year. First, Dr. Patton McDowell (podcast host of “Your Path to Nonprofit Leadership”) discusses mergers, alliances, and other forms of collaboration that help your nonprofit have a greater impact. Then Jenni offers three tips to improve the way you communicate with your supporters in 2021.

How to Host Better Events, Part Two

Hosting a nonprofit event sounds easy...until you actually do it! There are a million little pieces that have to come together for the big day, and I wanted to talk about all of them. There was so much great information in my interviews this week that I have to break this episode of the Nonprofit Jenni Show into two parts. In Part Two, we continue chatting with Holly Clark, a seasoned nonprofit events planner and owner of Holly Clark Events. Holly tells me how she plans and coordinates an upscale signature event for a well-established nonprofit (Dancing for Safe Haven) and helped plan a brand new outdoor event for a young organization (FrankTown Festival of Lights). She explains how she uses the support of volunteers in addition to nonprofit staff, how to set expectations for a new fundraising event, how to work with in kind donors and corporate sponsors, how to decide on event add ons (like silent auctions), and so much more.
