You can imagine how pleased I was when I was introduced to an organization that combined my two loves, #GivingTuesday and teaching kids about giving. This year on #GivingTuesday, Learning to Give is asking teachers to join the international movement to celebrate an opening day to the giving season by doing what they do best, by teaching. I love #GivingTuesday. I know, I’ve said that before…and you’ve caught me in the act again. Guilty.

We’ve all heard the saying “You can’t teach an old dog new tricks” Have you ever tried? It’s a myth. You sure can! New forms of games or play can actually provide more happiness and longevity in a dog’s later years. Don’t just believe something is true just because you’ve heard it a few times. It pays to look for yourself, to ask questions. This is the overall state of donor engagement these days among many social good organizations.

From each one of these events, a key fundraising lesson has emerged. By revisiting these lessons, we can assemble a valuable toolkit to aid social good organizations as they navigate this period of uncertainty.

Teach them that fundraising isn’t about asking for money; it’s about giving people the opportunity to give back and improve their communities. Once the new staffer understands the cycle of giving, you can start teaching them to cultivate, solicit, and steward donors. This is a great opportunity to teach your board about fundraising and workshop their skills. Getting development teams and their nonprofit boards to work in alignment can be challenging.
