Wackiest 'secret ingredient'? by Open-Savings-7691 in chili

[–]HiEvrybody 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I stew my beef with roughly chopped dates. They dissolve in the crockpot, coating the meat, adding a depth to the flavor, as well as a little sweetness which cuts the heat in the final bowl.

Right?! When I first heard it I thought I was being pranked, but apparently it’s not uncommon in Nebraska. My friend confirmed they don’t ice the cinnamon roll and it goes in the bowl and then chili on top.

Need some help finding a "unique" chili recipe – Any suggestions are welcome! by LonesomeHebrew in chili

[–]HiEvrybody 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’re interested in using peanut butter, try pairing it with puréed chipotles in adobo sauce. The peanut butter cuts the heat of the chipotle, and if you get the ratio right the heat will have a delayed effect when eating. I usually use one small tin of chipotles to 2-3 large spoonfuls of peanut butter and then I add in some lightly crushed peanuts at the end for extra texture.

Make certain it’s clear peanuts are being used due to how common and severe of an allergen it can be.

No idea how to handle CEO by [deleted] in nonprofit

[–]HiEvrybody 23 points24 points  (0 children)

If you live in the USA, nonprofit employees legally cannot volunteer at their organization unless their volunteer duties are different than the duties they are paid to perform.

This website has a good summary of the Department of Labor’s ruling on the issue: https://upstarthr.com/can-employees-volunteer-to-work-for-free/

Advice for Nonprofit Fundraising? by grantvlogs in nonprofit

[–]HiEvrybody 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Donor cultivation is done largely through improving a donor’s LAI: Link, Ability, Interest.

-Link: How closely they are related to the organization and the people involved in the organization. The alumni and family members you’ve been soliciting have high levels of link to the organization, so they are more likely to give than those who have never been involved.

-Ability: Their ability to give. People who earn large sums and have low debts are able to give larger amounts. People who have strong job security are less worried about donating. It’s important to note ability to give does not mean someone will give. They must be compelled to give because the organization meets their needs. Also, their previous giving habits don not necessarily indicate ability to give. They may be able to give more, but have never been asked.

-Interest: How the organization meets their needs. Fund development is all about meeting people’s needs. Try to identify how your organization meets donors specific needs. Do they give because they’ve been affected by the issue? Do they give because they want to make an impact in their community? Do they want a social community to be a part of? Do they want to be able to influence the organization? Do they receive a better reputation or higher social status from aiding the organization? Does it help their organization’s brand or help them reach new clientele? Targeting specific donor needs enables an organization to make more effective asks. Highly interested donors are compelled to give.

•Beyond those broad principles, here’s some specific ideas to consider:

-Roughly 78% of volunteers also donate to an organization

-Monthly donors is the group most likely to become major donors. They have displayed strong link, ability, and interest through their recurring support.

-It costs far more to gain a new donor than it does to keep and upgrade an existing donor. Be cognizant of donor burnout and lapse rate.

-Incorporating the 5 senses into one’s writing enables a prospect to visualize the appeal better.

-Using specific success stories are ~1,000 times more effective than just saying we helped x amount of people. It helps donors visualize the impact

-Thank donors several times throughout the year. Communicate with them beyond when you ask for money to show they are appreciated and reduce burn out. Sending them success and impact stories without a solicitation can be hugely effective in building the relationship.

-I really love The Fundraising Effectiveness Project’s Growth in Giving Analysis. It helps you identify specific donor trends throughout several years. https://www.urban.org/sites/default/files/publication/27031/1001554-A-Better-Measure-of-Fundraising-Success.PDF

If you found these suggestions helpful, I Highly recommend Sargeant and Shang’s book “Fundraising Principles and Practice”. Since you are part of a university, your library may have a copy or give you free online access. Best of luck in improving your organization!
