Make Philanthropy Work

Did you know that board members don't have to be professional fundraisers to make a big impact?

Some of the most valuable contributions board members make are simply sharing the mission they care about, introducing new supporters, and helping spread awareness in their communities!

📣 Advocate for the mission
🤝 Make introductions
❤️ Thank and steward donors
🌟 Serve as community ambassadors

How does your board help support your mission? Share your ideas in the comments!

Donor retention is often more cost-effective than donor acquisition.

Here are three simple but effective stewardship practices:
✔ Thank donors quickly
✔ Report impact consistently
✔ Stay connected between campaigns

Strong relationships build sustainable fundraising! Which stewardship practice has had the biggest impact on your organization?

Friday thoughts 💭 If your fundraising strategy currently looks like:

✔️ Try something
✔️ Hope it works
✔️ Repeat

…we should talk! When things feel harder than they should, it’s usually not about working more. It’s about having a process that actually supports you.

At Make Philanthropy Work, we help organizations trade the guesswork for a clear, doable path forward. Because fundraising shouldn’t feel like throwing spaghetti at the wall and seeing what sticks.

Heading into the weekend, here’s a small challenge: What’s one thing you’re doing out of habit and not because it’s working?

That’s your clue.
