1.Online Resource: idealware  
Free software advice for nonprofits
idealware - a nonprofit itself - is a tremendous resource for anybody in the nonprofit community who is trying to figure out how to use technology to work smarter, be more productive or raise more money.

You can navigate by topic, such as Managing Constituents, Website, Email, Collaborations and Fundraising, to name a few. Once you drill down, you can easily access articles, reports, blogs, online courses, and live and recorded webinars on that topic.

 
2.  If You Fail to Plan...
 
Third Space Studio study demonstrates high ROI in fundraising planning
After evaluating 87 small nonprofits, the Individual Donor Benchmark Report authors found that, for organizations that have a fund development plan:
  • every $1 increase in salary of their individual donor fundraiser led to on average $4.25 more in revenue generated from individuals; and
  • every full time equivalent dedicated to raising money from individuals yielded $280,000 for the nonprofit.

For organizations with no fundraising plan, there was no correlation between salary or staff time and fundraising results!


These findings reaffirm what we constantly urge our clients to do: make fundraising planning a priority - it pays off in the end!
