8 BOO BOO’s! Are You SCARING Nonprofit Donors Away?
It’s that time of year. You know. The best movies of the year. Best books of the year. Most embarrassing moments of the year.
List time!
Here’s my “Top Ten” list of the most-read Clairification articles in 2016. Some of them were written this past year. Some in previous years (oldies, but apparently goodies – at least according to Clairification readers).
It’s interesting to me that they’re mostly very practical articles about brass tacks fundraising. I enjoy writing about nonprofit marketing, management and trends as well. Writing about the psychology of fundraising fascinates me, as do the changes we’re seeing – big ones! – in the wake of the digital revolution.
What about you? Please take a moment to let me know what you’d like to hear about in the coming year by completing this ‘My Clairification’ Survey. I’d love to provide what you’d most like to learn about.
After you’ve completed the survey, take this opportunity to see what everyone else found useful last year.
