For 20 yrs, I’ve been talking about the connection between money beliefs & asking for money. It’s complicated & there aren't many places to explore what's really going on. Hope my new free Money Beliefs Guidebook helps - Link in bio #nonprofit #fundraising #philanthropy #money

@bessbell @GregoryMcKeown makes me think about the story from your book. Hope the folks on this thread read Essentialism and it inspires them to rethink things.

Kids whose parents were entrepreneurs are 60% more likely to become founders. By using data on adoptees, this paper shows that while about 1/3 of the effect is heritable, 2/3 is upbringing. It is also strongest from mother to daughter & from father to son. https://t.co/Q6YaVN3e0I

Thx Amy Varga with the @thevargagroup for sharing this great visual. I will definitely use these in meetings instead of 'how are you?'

Pandemic Silver Lining = Catching up on Professional Reading @AFPIHQ Advancing Philanthropy! Thx Amy @thevargagroup - great article Motivation and Inspiration: Empathy Is the Heart of Fundraising https://t.co/VljnI7T7i3 #nonprofit #fundraising

[Steven Screen @StevenScreen]

Donors respond most to #fundraising communications that keep things simple – letters and emails that talk about specific outcomes #donors can make possible with their gifts.

[Steven Screen @StevenScreen]

Keep these traits of #donors in mind when writing to them. Get to the point, and tell them how they can help with something they care about! #fundraising

Transparency in fundraising. 😂

[The Varga Group @thevargagroup]

So many of us in #nonprofits are deeply #empathetic which is wonderful 💖but it also means many of us struggle with #boundaries 😳 It's necessary to learn to set boundaries so you can stay in this work for the long run. #leadership #fundraising #philanthropy #portland #pdx

[The Varga Group @thevargagroup]

Can you truly listen to your donors today? With no agenda other than to show them you truly care about their lives. #listen #payattention #showthemyoucare #leadership #fundraising #philanthropy #portland #pdx

[The Varga Group @thevargagroup]

Just because you can't do it .... yet... doesn't mean you're not on your way. Can you give yourself -- and those around you -- the grace to in progress? #becoming #notyet #stillgrowing #nonprofit #leadership #fundraising #philanthropy #portland #pdx
