![Nonprofit’s Questions Of The Week [Video]](https://video.travel4meaning.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/mp_156629_0_0jpg.jpg)
In this episode of The Nonprofit Show, host Julia Patrick answers questions from viewers with help from Muhi Khwaja, a fundraising expert from Fundraising Academy and Co-founder of the American Muslim Community Foundation. The discussion starts with a question from a fundraiser working for a faith-based organization but not belonging to the same faith as the organization’s founders. Muhi suggests that it depends on how mission-centric the faith aspect is to the organization. As long as the fundraiser connects with the mission and impact, it is acceptable to work for such an organization. They also touch on the importance of not letting personal beliefs interfere with the work and handling donor inquiries about faith with sensitivity.The conversation then shifts to a question about the ideal number of donors in a fundraiser’s portfolio. Muhi emphasizes the need for a personalized approach and suggests having a tiered system based on donor responsiveness and engagement level. He mentions that portfolio sizes can vary depending on whether it is for major gifts or annual funds.Next, they respond to a question on how to reconnect with lapsed donors and how far back to go in the donor database. Muhi advises going back at least three years but preferably as far back as possible. The episode wraps-up with Julia expressing admiration for Muhi’s approach and how he embodies a mindset of abundance. They talk about the impact of taking time off and shifting one’s mindset from focusing solely on work to cherishing life and finding a healthy balance. With an ending question about burnout, Muhi believes it’s essential to express any concerns about burnout to one’s leadership and ask for time off or support without feeling guilty. Honesty and authenticity are crucial in these conversations, and a supportive leadership team will understand the need for recuperation.You can also listen to the show on your favorite podcast channel.

Co-hosts Julia Patrick and LaShonda Williams, CFRE, from Fundraising Academy, answer questions submitted by viewers of The Nonprofit Show. Throughout the episode, Julia and LaShonda emphasize the importance of clear policies, effective communication, trust, and ethical practices in the nonprofit sector. They encourage viewers to align their passion with their work, seek professional development opportunities, and engage in meaningful conversations with colleagues and supervisors. The first question is about managing vacations during federal holidays in a way that is fair and equitable for all employees. LaShonda suggests having a vacation policy in place and providing guidance to HR and the scheduling department. She recommends considering options such as honoring the first person to submit a request, offering incentives for those who work during holidays, or alternating vacation dates to create equity within the team.The second question pertains to the importance of having a college degree to pursue a career in fundraising. LaShonda emphasizes that while a degree can be beneficial, it is not always a requirement, especially for smaller nonprofits. She suggests affiliating with fundraising professional organizations, seeking professional development opportunities, and looking for nonprofits that offer incentives or scholarship programs for employees to pursue higher education. Ultimately, passion and commitment to the cause are more important than a degree.The third question addresses the desire to join the Board of Directors for the organization where the individual works. LaShonda and Julia caution against joining the board as a staff member, citing potential conflicts of interest and ethical considerations. They recommend exploring other avenues such as serving on committees or attending board meetings to gain insights and contribute to board discussions without compromising professional boundaries.The final question concerns ensuring proper credit for donations received while on maternity leave. LaShonda advises maintaining effective communication with the team, providing updates on donor prospects, and discussing concerns with supervisors. She suggests coding donations appropriately and keeping contact reports up to date to ensure transparency and accountability within the organization.You can also listen to the show on your favorite podcast channel.

Host Jarrett Ransom and guest host/trainer Jack Alotto CFRE answer questions received from viewers this week. Beginning with a question from a development director who has been asked to consult for a similar nonprofit in another region. Jack advises that it is not necessarily a conflict of interest but recommends having a code of conduct in place and not sharing donor information without permission. They discuss the importance of competence in consulting and the need to avoid advertising services one is not proficient in. They also highlight the significance of reviewing the organization’s conflict of interest policies and adhering to ethical standards, such as those outlined by the Association of Fundraising Professionals (AFP).The next question is about allocating funding for internal professional development and training in a nonprofit. Jack suggests asking staff for their professional development goals and allocating resources accordingly. He emphasizes the importance of providing opportunities for growth and learning, not just within the fundraising department but also in other areas of the organization. Jarrett adds that there are numerous free resources available and mentions an upcoming webinar with the Fundraising Academy.The third question addresses setting up a subgroup of nonprofit marketing professionals within a state nonprofit association. Both hosts support the idea of subgroups as they provide educational opportunities and diverse perspectives. They express confusion over the drama surrounding this proposal and speculate that it may be related to concerns about monetization or control. They encourage the association to allow the subgroup to form and leverage the benefits it can bring.Lastly, they discuss an annual pay raise for C-suite nonprofit executives. Jack expresses his dislike for across-the-board raises and advocates for pay raises based on job performance. He believes that incentivizing high performers and aligning pay raises with individual goals and job descriptions is more effective. Jarrett shares a case where a percentage of pay raise was allocated across the organization, but supervisors had the discretion to give additional raises based on performance. They emphasize the need to consider compression and the importance of transparency in discussing pay within an organization.You can also listen to the show on your favorite podcast channel.
