For a little history here, the game CryptoKitties was the first major use case for NFTs and has been a huge success. There are many exchanges to find NFTs and each one tends to specialize in different types of art or styles. What’s more, artists will continue to get a percentage of the future sales of that NFT art into the future.

Yes, there’s both art and science to a good appeal, and you can learn how to do it in a way that motivates people to give. Grants are not a good option for new nonprofits because 99% of funders want to see several years’ worth of data showing the impact your programs have. You simply don’t have the history as a brand-new nonprofit.

Do you consider yourself an "activist" for your organization, avocation, or art form? Sure, I admire cultural organizations that have a strong mission to change education or diversify access or transform the role of art in everyday life, but I'm an insider. Why AREN'T we asking visitors to join the fight for arts education?

Tale #3: A decade or so ago, when I worked at a certain cathedral in [another state], I was sent an envelope full of grocery coupons and pornography from a man whose accompanying hand-written letter (yes… all caps) claimed him to be the grandson of Michelangelo (long life spans in that family). His return address was a NY prison.

I have a history of doing stuff willy-nilly and it always backfires. Boost in life-time value? For now, pick a floor and ceiling that feels about right (there’s way more art than science to this than you might think). Donors feel taken for granted.
