If you’re having trouble getting momentum behind your cause, try to share stories. The most interesting stories to share are filled with hardship and tension. Share your stories (a lot). Once you find your story, share it anywhere and everywhere. Sharing success stories can also be a great way to motivate your staff. But sharing stories like these will help to remind your staff that their work is making a difference in someone else’s life.

There is an element of risk involved in sharing information and undertaking new business strategies together. “ We are all here on earth to help others; what on earth the others are here for I don’t know.” – W. Auden. I’ve spent most of my career in business development and have worked with organizations of all shapes and sizes, both for-profit and not-for-profit. From this vantage point, I’ve observed that leaders of social impact organizations tend to be risk averse.

Start by introducing yourself and briefly sharing your backstory. Once they’ve shared their story, educate them about your organization and what its work could mean for their community.

Of course, your mid-level donors will also share their vision for the future of your nonprofit. Once you’ve named your program, it’s time to determine what perks you’ll share with these donors. Your major gifts team is probably already creating incredible content that can be adapted to share with your mid-level audience. By focusing a little extra energy on your mid-level donors, you can raise more money and create a quality pipeline for your major gifts officers.

Facebook’s newsfeed algorithm (Edgerank) places a different weight on likes, comments and shares – giving shares the most weight, and likes the least. And when you think about your own behavior, likes, comments and shares each have different meaning or intention. SHARES – A share is the brass ring on Facebook.
