MARCHing Orders Clairity Click-it: Nonprofit Links and Free Resources

I’m coming in like a lion… with an abundance of reading and viewing materials to help you with whatever fundraising, marketing and nonprofit management challenges this month may have in store for you.

It’s an opportune time for planning, budgeting, and plenty of donor communications and strategic cultivation. So pick whatever looks useful to you.

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.

I’m on a one-woman mission to take the mystery, and misery, out of successful donor communications and fundraising. Your support makes it possible and, truly, means a lot. Thank you sincerely.

P.S.  Thanks, as always, to Bloomerang, my 2019 Clairity Click-it sponsor. Please know how dedicated we both are to helping you do your most important work. Questions?  Just ask! I also have a couple of coaching slots available. Email me directly at claire@clairification.com.

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

On February 2^nd 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!

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.

Clairity Click-it: Raining Nonprofit Links and Free Resources

After 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?

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

The 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.
