Using Incremental Testing To Improve Fundraising!

Saison 4 · Épisode 165

mardi 3 septembre 2024 • Durée 31:29

Jen Boland, founder of Boland Solutions, talks about the strategic application of incremental testing to enhance nonprofit fundraising efforts. The discussion centers on how nonprofits can use data-driven approaches to optimize their marketing strategies, particularly by employing incremental and lift testing.

Watch on video!

Jen begins this engaging conversation, with host Julia Patrick, by explaining her background and the focus of her work, explaining how many organizations overvalue certain marketing channels, particularly those that are more about demand capture rather than demand generation. She stresses the importance of correctly interpreting data to ensure that fundraising efforts are effectively allocated. Jen says, "Overvaluing channels that really are demand capture channels and not demand generation channels... probably over investing in the wrong tactics and under investing in the right tactics."
The conversation then explores the BEATS model, a framework Jen adapted from the for-profit sector, which stands for Business Financials, Experiments, Analytics, Technology, and Surveys. The model is designed to help nonprofits better understand the incremental value of their marketing efforts. A key part of the discussion is on the role of experiments, particularly lift testing, which involves testing different marketing strategies to determine their true incremental value. This is crucial because traditional metrics like last-click attribution can often be misleading. As Jen notes, "If we don’t test into higher spend, if we don’t test into different types of creative, we will never know the true incrementality of our marketing efforts."
The talk between the two highlights the challenges nonprofits face in accurately measuring the effectiveness of their marketing channels. Jen speaks about the use of simple tools like Excel to conduct these tests, arguing that even smaller organizations can benefit from these insights. She encourages nonprofits to challenge their assumptions by conducting withholding tests, particularly on branded paid search ads, to see if these expenditures are truly necessary or if they could be better allocated to more effective channels.
This informative episode provides nonprofit professionals with a comprehensive overview of how to apply incremental testing to their fundraising strategies. By adopting a data-driven approach, nonprofits can make more informed decisions that ultimately lead to more efficient and effective fundraising outcomes. Learn more from Jen at BolandSolutions.com

How To Prepare For An Annual Performance Review

Saison 4 · Épisode 164

vendredi 30 août 2024 • Durée 30:42

Preparing for your annual performance review is a critical process that can shape your career trajectory, especially in the nonprofit sector as a fundraiser. It involves setting clear goals, documenting your achievements, advocating for yourself, identifying growth opportunities, and maintaining open lines of communication with your supervisor. During this episode of Fundraisers Friday, cohosts Julia Patrick and Tony Beall offer guidance on how to approach this important conversation.

Watch on video!

Start Early: The Importance of Goal Setting

Tony starts with emphasizing the necessity of setting clear goals and objectives well before the review process begins. Without a defined set of expectations, it’s challenging to have a meaningful discussion about performance. Whether you’re working in a small nonprofit or a larger organization, having these goals in place is crucial. If your organization doesn't already have a structured review process, Tony advises taking the initiative to propose one.

Documenting Achievements: Keep Track of Your Successes

Throughout the year, it's essential to document your accomplishments and any challenges you've faced. This practice not only helps in preparing for your review but also ensures that you can accurately reflect on your performance. Tony suggests maintaining a folder—whether digital or physical—where you collect evidence of your achievements, such as meeting fundraising goals or overcoming donor obstacles. This can provide concrete examples of your contributions.

Self-Advocacy: Be Prepared to Highlight Your Value

One of the big tips from the discussion is the importance of self-advocacy during the review process. Julia and Tony both stress that you should not be afraid to "get your own flowers"—in other words, to recognize and promote your successes. This includes preparing a self-assessment that not only lists your achievements but also explains the strategies and efforts that led to those successes. This approach can help counter any perceptions that your success was merely due to luck.

Addressing Challenges and Seeking Development Opportunities

Another important aspect of the review process is identifying areas where you can improve and seeking out professional development opportunities. Tony encourages us to be proactive in suggesting solutions and asking for the resources we need to grow. This could include training programs, mentorship, or other forms of professional development that will help you excel in your role and contribute even more effectively to your nonprofit. Handling Feedback: Preparing for Criticism Receiving feedback can be daunting, and Tony offers that the best review processes are those where there are no surprises. By having ongoing conversations with your supervisor (s) throughout the year, you can ensure that you’re on the same page regarding your performance. This regular communication reduces the likelihood of unexpected feedback during your annual review and helps you approach the process with confidence.

Nonprofit Operational Efficiencies and Transformations

Saison 4 · Épisode 155

lundi 19 août 2024 • Durée 30:03

A conversation centering on the importance of efficiency in nonprofit organizations that serves as a reminder for nonprofit leaders to prioritize operational efficiency, not only to improve internal processes but also to better serve their communities and stakeholders. As the guest, Dylan Bassett, CEO and founder of Department One Solutions puts it, “It's about making things better and faster so that more work can get done, and ultimately, more good can be delivered.”

Watch on video!

Dylan Bassett, whose consultancy specializes in aiding small, community-based nonprofits, talks about the need for operational transformation. He explains that many nonprofits, despite their dedication to their mission, often suffer from inefficiencies that limit their effectiveness. "Nonprofits sort of forget that they are businesses as well," he points out, a common oversight in the sector. This neglect can lead to what he refers to as "tech debt," a situation where temporary solutions compound into bigger problems over time.

Dylan shares his experience working with nonprofits that often tolerate inefficiencies, leading to a less effective use of resources. He mentions, "When nonprofits have strong operations, they have a higher capacity for work and thus mission delivery," which connects to the direct correlation between operational efficiency and mission success. This efficiency not only enhances productivity but also makes nonprofits more attractive to donors who want to invest in organizations that can deliver results effectively.

The fast-paced conversation also covers the importance of ‘digital maturity’ and the need for nonprofits to adopt better processes and technology. Dylan encourages nonprofits to view operational transformation as an ongoing process, rather than a one-time fix. He suggests starting with a thorough audit to identify pain points and areas for improvement, a process that can significantly enhance a nonprofit's ability to manage workloads and increase impact. A great learning episode for NPO’s struggling to get things done!!

The Role of a Nonprofit Board Treasurer

Saison 4 · Épisode 61

jeudi 28 mars 2024 • Durée 30:58

The role of a Board Treasurer in a nonprofit extends beyond accounting tasks to encompass strategic financial oversight, transparency, and accountability. By prioritizing timely financial reporting, active engagement in budget discussions, and promoting transparency, treasurers play a pivotal role in safeguarding the nonprofit’s financial stability and mission fulfillment.

Jackie McLaughlin, a CPA with Chazin and Company, begins by dispelling the myth that only finance professionals can serve as treasurers. She points to having common sense as the key requirement, stating, "If you can run your own personal finances, you have enough common sense to be a treasurer." Fiduciary responsibility, often perceived as complex, is simplified as acting in the best interest of the organization, akin to a parent making decisions for their child.

Jackie outlines the treasurer's role in financial oversight, distinguishing it from hands-on accounting work. Treasurers primarily review financial statements and budgets, asking critical questions to ensure financial health. They collaborate with finance committees and executive directors to assess budgets, review financial reports, and make strategic decisions. Jackie emphasizes the importance of timely financial reporting, advocating for monthly financial statements and quarterly board reviews to detect and address issues promptly.

Jackie also speaks to transparency and accountability in financial management, emphasizing that nonprofits must be transparent with their financial information, including making audited financials and tax returns publicly available. She encourages regular financial communication and stresses the treasurer's role in scrutinizing budget variances and ensuring corrective action is taken when necessary, sharing a cautionary tale about the repercussions of neglecting financial discussions within the board. She recounts a scenario where a nonprofit's financial performance declined due to the board's habit of hurriedly reviewing financials. Moving financial reviews to the top of the agenda led to more focused discussions and accelerated efforts to address financial challenges.

This informative session will give your nonprofit logical comfort and direction on the duties and roles of board treasurers.

Nonprofit Messaging (Show me you know me)

Saison 4 · Épisode 60

mercredi 27 mars 2024 • Durée 29:40

Key aspects of nonprofit messaging and connecting with nonprofit’s audiences, including defining clarity in messaging to create lasting connections, and strengthening nonprofit's organizational impact, with Jordana Merkin, CEO and founder of Voice for Good Marketing.

Jordana begins with the essence of clear messaging by stating, "Clarity creates connection." She emphasizes the significance of defining an organization's mission, target audience, and core values to effectively communicate its purpose, which guides organizations in uncovering the emotional core of their work, enabling them to resonate with their audience on a deeper level.

Suggesting a strategic approach to crafting messaging guides, emphasizing the alignment of mission, vision, and values, Jordana points to the importance of consistency in messaging across all communication channels, allowing organizations to maintain authenticity and reinforce their brand identity. Additionally, she stresses the value of maintaining continuity, especially during periods of transition, to ensure clarity and coherence in messaging.

Jordana then addresses the challenge of engaging diverse audiences while maintaining a cohesive message. She advocates for organizations to prioritize authenticity over universal appeal, acknowledging that not every individual or group will align with their mission and values. By focusing on resonating with their core supporters, organizations can cultivate meaningful connections and foster long-term relationships. In her words, “Show me you know me”.

Jordan gives strong encouragements for organizations to embrace their unique identity and values, even in divisive times. She advises against diluting messaging to cater to every audience, emphasizing the importance of staying true to core principles, whilst acting on strategic communication that addresses relevant issues and staying aligned with your nonprofit’s overarching mission and values.
