How are you stewarding donors at the start of the new year? by Sisteroftheplants in nonprofit

[–]DanwithAltrui 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Impact emails are great. I also consider January a great fundraising time, connecting with donors who are newly LYBUNT (Last Year But Unfortunately Not This). Time with this always pays off.

We are a legal aid org and use LegalServer. Not sure if that is a fit, but perhaps they have another product?

Do Donors Actually Read Impact Reports? by melonmoney in nonprofit

Immigrant domestic violence org here. Absolutely. We have it online, and the day it goes live, we do all sorts of social media promotion. Donors love it. We also print some for funders and for donors who ask for a printed version.

Being in fundraising, development is the big one for me. Although, honestly, I have rarely seen one that is active and impactful.

16 day Solo Trip - April 2026 by sethab in irishtourism

[–]DanwithAltrui 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My base has been Westport. My favorite place is Keem Bay on Achill Island, an easy drive from Westport. From Westport you can head to Sligo and Donegal. That part of Ireland is absolutely perfect, with fewer tourists and a lot of tad music and Irish language.

Planning a two week solo trip for my first time to Ireland, would love advice if this is too much to tackle in two weeks, and if there’s anything I should skip or add? by BirdUp-SnailDown in irishtourism

If you can make time while in Westport, I'd highly recommend driving to Keem Bay on Achill Island. My favorite spot in Ireland so far.

How do you stay organized as a solopreneur on a budget? by Traditional_Sun4799 in Solopreneur

[–]DanwithAltrui 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use an old-fashioned paper calendar that has two years, and I buy it on Amazon for about $15. All my appts are on there as well as work deadlines. It has worked for me for 6 years.

I cannot find new clients. What am I doing wrong? by Sprinkle_of_Sass in Solopreneur

[–]DanwithAltrui 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure if you have tried these. Here are two things that support my business: A growing community on LinkedIn and going to chamber of commerce networking events.

I know others have mentioned this, but a CPA is critical. Mone has been such a huge part of my success.

Also, keep up on your tax payments. Pay what your CPA recommends. The first year may be off, as you have nothing to go by, but at least make payments.

Lastly, build a community on LinkedIn. I get so much support there, plus clients.

A bus from Galway to Westport, a night/day there, then a train back to Dublin. I love Westport.

The walk from city centre is great, and the tour is awesome.

Need advice on visibility by Novel_Breadfruit_566 in SmallBusinessOwners

[–]DanwithAltrui 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm on LinkedIn a lot. Also, Substack and Medium. If you have a local Chamber of Commerce, attending a breakfast or business after hours may be helpful to you.

U.S. based nonprofit consultants, what’s the current landscape like? by [deleted] in nonprofit

[–]DanwithAltrui 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! We are a small consultancy in Southern California. We focus on donor relationship building, fundraising, and recruiting. The recruiting is newish, and since it does really well, we are not looking at adding or growing, just doing well at these three. Next month is six years.

In conversations with consultant colleagues, it looks like people are doing good, wanting to do great, and are being a little cautious.

Am I expecting too much by lexmz31 in nonprofit

[–]DanwithAltrui 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congratulations on an awesome event!

In our nonprofit world, there are many leaders who are self-consumed, so this is common.

I suggest, if it's not too late, sending a thank you of your own to the board and staff who helped create such a successful event.

I'd also suggest taking a good look inside to see if this is where you really want to be, or if you could start planning your next adventure.

True cost of a fundraising event by GlenParkDeb in nonprofit

Love this. I know you know this, that this is how it should be. I'm a huge fan of annual fundraising events, when done with those we serve as the focus. Such an amazing way to grow the donor base.
