@SuhrGrants And community foundations who are managing Donor Advised Funds are leading to a lot of challenges too #GrantChat

[Ericka Harney @ErickaHarney]

A10: Attend @AFPIHQ local meetings when possible in addition to @GPANational. #GrantChat

[#GrantChat @Grant_Chat]

Q10: Please share tips, books, blogs, and resources for better #funddevelopment and fund development teams. #GrantChat

[Ericka Harney @ErickaHarney]

A9: But then again, i don't think we know the whole picture of effects just yet #GrantChat

[Ericka Harney @ErickaHarney]

A9: Changes to the tax benefits is starting to make a difference - with the increase in the standard deduction, those folks who gave in part due to the tax benefit have lessened their gift #GrantChat

[#GrantChat @Grant_Chat]

Q9: What changes in #funddevelopment have made impacts on your organization’s growth, sustainability, or ROI? #GrantChat

[Ericka Harney @ErickaHarney]

A8: Enough people for the work to go around to. More hands on deck would solve a lot of issues in places. Beyond that, top-down leadership that is supportive fo the #funddevelopment team in front of the whole organization is a huge help #GrantChat

[#GrantChat @Grant_Chat]

Q8: What are the biggest challenges in creating effective #funddevelopment teams? #GrantChat

[Ericka Harney @ErickaHarney]

A7: One client looks at each 'piece' that is sent out for annual giving and compares to how much was brought in. #GrantChat

[#GrantChat @Grant_Chat]

Q7: How do you measure your #funddevelopment ROI? Are various elements of fund development measured separately and or wholly? #GrantChat

[Ericka Harney @ErickaHarney]

A6: Policies and procedures! If everyone knows the expectation, then things go smoother. And a great system so communication is easier - who does what when and how is helpful #GrantChat

[#GrantChat @Grant_Chat]

Q6: What tools help to support effective fund development and #funddevelopment teams? How and why? #GrantChat

[Ericka Harney @ErickaHarney]

A5: If a #funddevelopment team is all encompassing, there can be far reaching implications because of the wholistic take on what is needed. If everyone needed is involved, there is little room for things to slip through cracks #GrantChat

[#GrantChat @Grant_Chat]

Q5: What impact can a #funddevelopment team that includes donor development, #grants, program staff, communications, and others make for an organization and their fund sustainability? #GrantChat

[Ericka Harney @ErickaHarney]

@Grant_Chat A4: We would love for some board members to be more engaged with the process and actually make asks! It's their relationships we rely on, in addition to our own. #GrantChat

[Ericka Harney @ErickaHarney]

@AmandaRipstra And of course no rogue faculty applying for research funds...right?
#GrantChat

[Ericka Harney @ErickaHarney]

@Grant_Chat A3: For one client, I'm all things #funddevelopment and work heavily with the board. In my ED role, same thing - #onepersonshop #GrantChat

[Ericka Harney @ErickaHarney]

A2: Though, i'll do a lot of fund development in different ways, anyone else can have events. Not a fan but people love them! #GrantChat

[Ericka Harney @ErickaHarney]

@Grant_Chat A2: I wish we did #socialenterprise with groups I work with now. One does and it's a great mechanism for fundraising. If you org isn't using one mechanism, you need to know why - all should be considered. #GrantChat

[Ericka Harney @ErickaHarney]

@EphraimGopin @jomillergpc Too bad there aren't grants for that! #GrantChat
