When @leaheustace was taking the Certificate in Philanthropic Psychology in 2020, course leader, Dr. Jen Shang sent this feedback after reading a case for support Leah had just completed. Amazing!

Can your donors relate to the stories you tell? If they can't, they're much less likely to give.

Squee ... we have a new website. And, we finally have a portfolio for our work. Okay, okay, this is super exciting to us, maybe not so exciting for everyone else. 😅https://t.co/iX6jk6dkRK

Dear #nonprofits, please read this and stop sending ineffective direct mail appeals. @mcahalane you are brilliant as always.

Get behind me, Satan! https://t.co/4DZlDS4Ti8

We agree!

Once again, as Twitter dies, you can find me over at Mastodon @[email protected] and you can find Blue Canoe @[email protected] It’s a very liberal and hate-free place to hang out. Come join us on the light side.

We’re BIG fans of Jim and Daniel over here in the Blue Canoe. Please give what you can to support this remarkable single dad and his autistic son.

[Jim Martin @Gingerheaddad]

There's big news tonight. Daniel's #GoFundMe is only $530 away from our goal to get him respite & communications supports.
The bigger news is that there is snow in the forecast & Daniel may have to ditch his sandals for boots tomorrow. https://t.co/B1YMkHcO96 #GoFundMe

I wrote “DECEASED” on 25 charity solicitation reply forms today. That’s how many my step mother received in the past 3 weeks. I did this to see:
• who has good data hygiene
• save charities cost of continuing to send appeals
• see which charities send a condolence card

Today is World Suicide Prevention Day. Having lost both my grandfather and great aunt to suicide, prevention is something I work on 365 days a year. Take a moment today to reach out to someone who has been quiet lately. It could be a life-saving call. 💛

@liz_hallett Sending you lots of love!

“We are all story people”

We love this tactical approach to story gathering and telling. You WILL raise more money this way!

President Biden's announcement today about student loan debt relief has upset some people who believe it's unfair. I acknowledge that resentment, and also, while we're on the subject of unfairness, I have some thoughts for your consideration. (thread)

[Blue Canoe @YourBlueCanoe]

@EphraimGopin And we love you for it.
