Here are some of my favorite tools and how I use them to stay organized and be productive: Google Workspace, formerly known as G Suite: I cannot imagine a more important set of tools for nonprofit productivity than these free tools from Google: Google Docs , Google Sheets , Google Forms , Google Slides , and Google Calendar.

While online tools and resources give the sense that people are more connected than ever, selecting the right communication vehicle, visibility, form, and timing for what you’re trying to accomplish is vital to achieving true connection and mutual understanding. Google Docs can be used to create collaborative agendas or meeting minutes.

We wanted it to be something fun and interesting, so people would want to join – a surprise party! Part of using blog posts in the campaign is the strategy that in order to participate, people are promoting! What was key to our approach was that we did not say where people had to post, or exactly what they had to say.

So, I can easily respect other people's tool preferences as long as I don't get too annoyed. I still read listservs because that's the only place I can find a particular people/peers sharing information about a particular topic. So, I've used wikispaces, pbwiki, socialtext, jotspot, and writely (now google docs).

Docs are like super-simple wikis, and probably the most truly collaborative aspect of a Facebook group. Docs live in a designated place within your group and are therefore not as subject to the news feed, which is more timely. Docs are great for posting information that you plan to come back to again and again. Who’s replying?

But for most people, planning for fundraising isn’t easy. Too many people say they have a plan, but the plan is not written down. Get a legal pad and a pen or pull up a Google Doc or a Word Doc. In many cases, they don’t want to ask people for money. Sometimes, planning is like trying to grab smoke.

This responsibility may be divided between a few different people. Shockingly, according to a Software Advice research report, 52 percent of nonprofits are still using Excel and Google Docs to run their development operations.

In the spring of 2020, as COVID-19 and the uncertainty of how to react spread across the United States and Canada, people holed up in their houses and apartments. Many people worked from home, if their work could be done that way. And *poof*… the volunteers were gone. They ordered goods from Amazon rather than drive to the store.

While I always recommend you let donors know you are not in the business of offering professional legal or financial advice, and they should consult with their own advisors, this doesn’t mean you can’t inform people about changes in the law. Download Donor Letter (DOC). Write to your donors.

Most people think of strategic planning as a marathon 8- or 10-hour or 2-day retreat. Without a clear purpose, a seemingly random group of people is brought together. You want people focused on their strategic conversation not struggling to make the tool work. Some people cringe when you mention icebreaker.

But long term, you can’t run an entire organization from the generosity of only a handful of people. They also have the benefit of knowing their donors, including the reasons why people give and what they’re passionate about. You NEED the support of people who are excited about the work your nonprofit will do. Are you ready??

Planned gifts may come from current major donors, but they can also come from people who have been consistently supporting your work for years. Don’t worry about providing legal language or sample docs because your donors already have their own attorney who will take care of all the verbiage and paperwork.

I would take a bet that 90% of people who use MS Office don’t need to pay for it, but can do fine with OOo/LO. 70% of people could pick up OOo/LO and use it with no training or help, even if they are used to MS Office.

Contrary to a widespread assumption about documentaries, impactful docs are not about causes, issues or historical facts. Good documentaries are about people. And so it just makes sense that docs are a viable tool for Millennials’ efforts toward change. Hell, when was the last time you were rapt in any old conversation?

Two or three years ago, you could have a conversation out in the open and have people organically join in.

The current software does not interface with our current/new technical environment (MS-Exchange and Office, or Google g-mail, calendar, docs, etc.). and the third leg of people – trained, competent, available staff. One of my maxims is that a database doesn’t raise money — people raise money. Stewarding current donors.

Often, fear of creating a less-than-perfect plan holds people back. Don’t repeat the 5K just because some people in your community love it. Having no goal actually makes fundraising harder because you can’t tell people what you’re trying to do. For example: A compelling mission that draws people in. Or enough data.
