Social media can definitely be a time suck if you don't manage it properly. But then, maybe it's time to get away from your computer for some summer reading.

I’ve been writing fundraising copy since 2010. Practice, patience and time are your friends if you want to improve your writing. All of these means that I produce my best writing work when I give myself ample time to edit. I spend some time worrying and catastrophizing about my writing skills before I start writing.

Of course, all nonprofits already have a CRM (even if it is a spreadsheet) – the issue is, generally, migration to a new system, or integration with what they already have to add new features. In the process of going deep into those CRMs, I’ve been thinking about how nonprofits might choose CRMs to begin with.

Remember the global financial crisis (GFC), aka the Great Recession, of 2007-2010? Of course you do. And, despite slight upticks in 2010 and 2011 in giving, they were still well below pre-GFC levels. Now is the time to think about a budget reforecast. This is a time to make informed and collaborative decisions.
