NEW Podcast Episode:
Let People Do Their Jobs
It’s all too common in the non-profit sector for fundraising leaders and managers to pull their frontline fundraisers into things that don’t directly relate to their jobs. Between unnecessary organizational tasks, activity-oriented metrics, meetings that aren’t related to their donors, and community events, fundraisers lose their focus, have less impact, and solicit less giving.
In this episode, Jeff, Karen, and Kendra share their top tips for how fundraising managers and leaders can let their teams do their jobs and find high-value success in their work. Listen in to learn how your organization can achieve results like increased revenue, higher donor retention, and less staff turnover all by letting people do their jobs. Listen to the episode here.

The Hidden Problem That’s Costing Non-Profits Thousands (or Maybe Millions!) of Dollars
Donor attrition (and donor value attrition) remains a hidden problem for most non-profits. You may be losing more revenue (and ultimately, losing more major gifts) than you thought. While donor giving totals may go up or stay steady year-over-year, many donors are giving less or they’ve stopped giving altogether. Most organizations don’t even realize that this is happening, because the gap is covered up by gifts from new donors.
In this webinar, Jeff shares how we’ve diagnosed this problem in hundreds of data files and how you can take action to address your donor attrition rates. Watch the replay here.

Planning Guide for Fall & Year-End Fundraising
Year-end is a busy time for every non-profit. (And every donor for that matter!) That’s why being intentional and focused on what to do throughout this season is so important. This guide will share key strategies for specific time periods in the fall fundraising cycle, offer creative ideas that our clients have found to be successful, and give you space to brainstorm how you can be strategic and impactful during this time of year.
Also, you may be wondering why the guide is themed around Pumpkin Spice and Peppermint Mocha seasons. While we are big fans of coffee (and tea), this is actually inspired by one of our favorite tips from Veritus coach Theresa Tapocsi:
“When you start seeing Pumpkin Spice out in stores, it’s time to start your fall planning. By the time you get to Peppermint Mocha season, it’s time to transition to those final, end-of-year touch points.”
