New Year, New (More Effective) Nonprofit Fundraising Plan

January 16, 2014 By Nell Edgington Leave a Comment

If I had one wish for the nonprofit sector in this new year it would be for nonprofits to get much smarter about money and finally start using it as a robust, strategic tool for creating more social change. But you can’t get smarter about something that you fear, or don’t understand, or avoid, or […]

New Financing Not Fundraising, Vol. 3 E-book

December 10, 2013 By Nell Edgington Leave a Comment

I am delighted to announce today’s release of the newest volume in the Financing Not Fundraising e-book series, Financing Not Fundraising, vol. 3. The idea behind Financing Not Fundraising is that the traditional way nonprofit leaders, boards and donors have approached funding the work of nonprofits doesn’t work anymore. Traditional nonprofit fundraising forces nonprofits to […]

Moving From Fundraising to Financing

April 24, 2013 By Nell Edgington Leave a Comment

I’ve had a lot of great questions about the upcoming Financing Not Fundraising E-Course for nonprofit leaders.

Overcoming the Loneliness of the Nonprofit Leader

January 30, 2013 By Nell Edgington 1 Comment

Being the leader of a nonprofit can be incredibly lonely. You have a million demands on your time, countless people to keep happy, ambitious (if not impossible) goals to achieve, and few resources with which to achieve them. It can be an overwhelming place to be. But it doesn’t have to be that way. I […]

The 5 Building Blocks of Nonprofit Success

December 19, 2012 By Nell Edgington 2 Comments

There is a way off of the exhausting nonprofit hamster wheel of trying to do more and more with less and less. If your nonprofit can articulate the value you provide, strengthen your organization, develop a groundbreaking board, chart a strategic direction, and attract more support, you will set yourself up to achieve the holy […]

I’m delighted to announce that I’ve just released the Financing Not Fundraising, 2012 E-book. This e-book is the second in the Financing Not Fundraising e-book series. While the Financing Not Fundraising, 2011 E-book laid out the basic elements of the Financing Not Fundraising approach, this new e-book, a compilation and expansion of blog posts in […]

Is Earned Income Right for Your Nonprofit?

May 9, 2012 By Nell Edgington Leave a Comment

Earned income, or the sale of goods and services, is a somewhat misunderstood and unexplored financial opportunity for nonprofits. Yet there are countless examples of nonprofit organizations that sell goods or services to supplement their revenue, like the Girl Scouts, Goodwill, museum gift shops, hospitals, charter schools. If you’ve ever wondered if earned income might […]

Financing Not Fundraising: Calculating the Cost of Fundraising

June 6, 2011 By Nell Edgington 14 Comments

In part 9 of our ongoing blog series, Financing Not Fundraising, we are discussing the importance of calculating the return on investment of every revenue-generating activity your nonprofit undertakes. This can be fairly easily understood through two basic, but critical analyses: net revenue raised and cost to raise a dollar. If these two calculations were […]
