How Important are Monthly Donors? – Erica Waasdorp

Erica Waasdorp, CEO of A Direct Solution says, “If you don’t have a monthly donor program yet, you’d be wise to make that part of your plan for next calendar year and perhaps even sooner than that.”

People often ask me why you should focus on this now? Well, if last year’s Harvey hurricane disaster is any indication: Monthly donors provide sustainable revenue, no matter what happens. Their gifts keep coming in, rain or shine! In essence, it’s an extra insurance policy for your organization’s operating budget. Continue reading →

NANOE Contrasts Values With National Council of Nonprofits

NANOE Contrasts Values Statement With National Council of Nonprofits Ethical Codes

The National Council of Nonprofits has taken a back seat to the ever expanding National Association of Nonprofit Organizations & Executives (NANOE) who is fast becoming the Nation’s largest network of charitable organizations. NANOE, now in its eighteen month of service, has grown to 873 agencies making it twenty-times larger than the National Council of Nonprofits (NCP) whose 41 members are State Nonprofit Associations a majority of whom NANOE has also surpassed in size.

Samantha Van Wicklin – Roswell Park Cancer Institute

When I was 10, my friend’s mother back in Annapolis, Maryland, was diagnosed with cancer, and I was really upset and wanted to do something about it. My family had just moved to Ellicottville from Annapolis, and my father saw some information about the Ride for Roswell, Western New York’s largest fundraiser to raise money for cancer research at the Roswell Park Cancer Institute in Buffalo.

We signed up but I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to raise the $100 minimum necessary to ride. But I tried really hard and contacted everyone I knew and raised over $4000 that year! Continue reading →
