Presidents Day Clairity Click-it: Nonprofit Links and Free Resources

Happy long week-end in the U.S., and happy regular week-end every place else. TGIF!

Once again I’ve gathered plenty of reading and viewing materials for your edification.  Great leaders are great learners.

Speaking of leaders in our field, I want to send a shout out to my 2019 Clairity Click-it sponsor, Bloomerang, for keeping this newsletter free. I’ve joined forces with them because we’re both dedicated to answering all your questions – even ones you haven’t yet thought of! Remember, my motto is: “If I know it, I want you to know it!

I hope you’ll also enroll this year in ‘Clairification School’. You’ll get access to ALL my original content for a full 12 months, including exclusive weekly articles, bonus webinars and more, in the most cost-effective way I’ve found to deliver it. This is useful content that will help you raise much more than you invest by enrolling. Feel free to check out what others have to say about why they’ve enrolled.

Your support makes it possible for everyone and, truly, means a lot. Thank you sincerely for doing the significant work you do.

Groundhog’s Day Clairity Click-it: Nonprofit Links and Free Resources

On February 2nd the groundhog will let us know if we’ll have an early spring or more winter.  Whichever way it turns out, I’ve collected plenty of resources to keep you busy.

Before we get into it, I want to send a shout out to my 2019 Clairity Click-it sponsor, Bloomerang, for keeping this newsletter free. Remember, my motto is: “If I know it, I want you to know it!” They’re making it possible for me to spend the time curating and sending the Clairity Click-it to you on a bimonthly basis. If you appreciate this as much as I do, please let them know!

I hope you’ll also enroll this year in ‘Clairification School’. You’ll get access to ALL my content for a full 12 months,  in the most cost-effective way I’ve found to deliver it.

If you can’t afford to hire me as a coach, and you can’t afford to attend an online class or a conference, I’m hoping you can afford to pay less than $2/week to receive original, weekly articles that are the equivalent of a Master Class, plus webinars, bonuses and more. All with the goal to help you raise much more than you invest by enrolling.

Your support makes it possible for everyone and, truly, means a lot. Thank you sincerely for doing the significant work you do.

P.S. If you missed my announcement, I’m delighted to inform you I’m taking on an expanded role as FUNDRAISING COACH for Bloomerang — and couldn’t be more pleased to have this opportunity to share even more wisdom with you! As you may know, they’ve been my Clairity Click-it sponsor, enabling me to bring all these curated resources to you for free over the past year. Nothing will change at Clairification.  Clairification School is still open, and I hope you’ll consider enrolling if you’ve not already done so.  I save my priority attention, coaching slots and discounts for my students!

REMINDER: If you deliberated signing up for my annual Winning Major Gifts Fundraising online course that kicks off January 22nd, tomorrow is your last day to register. If you do even some of what you learn, I guarantee you’ll more than make back your investment. So… why not make this the year you commit to rocking the most cost-effective fundraising strategy there is? (Added incentive to do it now: the price will likely rise next year).

Clairity Click-it: New Year’s Resolution Nonprofit Links and Free Resources

Clairity Click-it and BloomerangThis issue I’m emphasizing two things:

(1) Resolutions and Trends for 2019, and

(2) Major and Legacy Giving.

The first is timely generally; the second is timely because my annual Winning Major Gifts Fundraising online course kicks off January 22nd and I’m thinking a LOT about this most cost-effective fundraising strategy. I want you to think about it too! Even if you don’t enroll in the course, I hope you’ll consider ramping up your efforts in this area. It’s where the lion’s share of the funding is, and I firmly believe nonprofits of all sizes and shapes should be investing where they’ll reap the greatest reward.

There are lots of other topics covered in this issue of the Clairity Click-it as well.  As others helped me, so do I want to help you. Which is why I spend the time I do finding you a great mix of articles, podcasts, webinars, templates, e-books, whitepapers and whatever I come across on the web I think may be useful. Without the generosity of my sponsor, Bloomerang. I wouldn’t be able to keep this up. So pretty please click here to let Bloomerang know they’re awesome!

I wish you a happy and healthy New Year, and thank you sincerely for doing the important work you do.

Clairity Click-it: Raining Nonprofit Links and Free Resources

Clairity Click-it and BloomerangAfter all the wildfires here in California, we’ve been blessed (finally!) with some cleansing rain. So… why not share the blessings by raining down on you some cats, dogs and LOTS of free resources?

Once again, I want to thank my sponsor, Bloomerang, for making it possible to offer this to you for free.  Also, could you do them (and yourself) a favor?

We’re curious whether or not the average fundraiser is happy with the benefits they are receiving from their employer.

Can you take this short, 3-minute survey?

Your answers will remain completely anonymous.

We’ll publish the data, so be sure to check back here on our blog to compare your answers with the sector as a whole.

With gusto, 

Steven from Bloomerang

Have a relaxing weekend,

Clairity Click-it: Sackful of Free Nonprofit Tricks & Treats

Clairity Click-it and BloomerangThe past two weeks flew by, and now it’s time again for your opportunity to click through to any of these free curated goodies I’ve found for you across the web. I’ve categorized them so you can more easily find what strikes your particular fancy.

Speaking of which, in the last issue I asked if you would do me the favor of completing a super quick survey (1 minute) so I can provide just the right content for you moving forward. Thanks to those who’ve already provided input – you are the best!

I’m offering one more chance to those who’ve not yet participated; then I’ll take everyone’s feedback into account and let you know the consensus.

I know my readers are an eclectic group – executive directors, development, marketing, volunteer and program staff, board and committee members, direct service volunteers and even donors. I don’t want to leave anyone out!

At the same time, I know this is truly a huge sackful of material (I do a LOT of reading), and I don’t want to overwhelm you. If less would be more, please let me know.  I do this to be helpful to you, not to overwhelm you.  There’s a one-minute survey HERE.

Thank you, as always, for doing the tremendously important work you do.
