Cindy Miles is the Executive Director of The Nonprofit Chamber of Service. Established in 2005, more than 175 nonprofits and funders came together to discuss how they could collaborate on building strong nonprofit organizations and develop joint activities that could build the capacity of nonprofits. Sedgwick County Government provided the opportunity for a "working group" of 20 local nonprofit directors and representatives to explore the development of a nonprofit association that could assist and be a voice for the nonprofit community in Wichita. As a result of this work, the Nonprofit Chamber of Service was established.Learn more about The Nonprofit Chamber of Service at https://nonprofitchamberks.org/Learn more about Bloomerang: https://bloomerang.co/partners/you-got-this-fundraising/Check out the Blog:https://www.dawngabel.com/blogWebsite:https://www.dawngabel.com/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/yougotthispod/Special Thanks To Grey Goat Marketing: https://www.greygoatmarketing.com/

In this episode of You Got This- Fundraising Dawn talks with Marci Penner, co-founder and director of the Kansas Sampler Foundation.Marci Penner is a big fan of exploring Kansas, promoting (and living) rural culture, and reframing the challenges of sustaining community into opportunities. When she and her father, Milferd Penner, researched their first Kansas guidebooks in the early 1990s, they saw a need to educate Kansans and network and support rural communities.

Bloomerang is donor management software that will have you building relationships with donors. https://bloomerang.co/partners/you-got-this-fundraising/2 Donor Relationship Ideas and Remote WorkingThe podcast with some great examples of relationship building from California. Being an entrepreneur means I have time to help many organizations optimize their fundraising systems and technology allows me to do it from a trip with my husband to California.On our trip, two really great things happened to show me that there are examples of donor relationship building all around us. The first one was a music festival moment where board members and volunteers were invited to dance as a group. The organization was fortunate to have a leader that understood the value of cultivating a strong family bond in the board of directors. The dance they participated in, bound them together in a way that few things could.The second, was an invitation from a church for congregants to sign their name in the walls of the new wing of th

This little rabbit hole of anxiety is the place where many fundraisers freeze. Who has experienced this? You know the supporter is right for the organization and they have the means for the support. When you run them down the list of qualifying measures for a larger gift, a gift you get by sitting across from them and asking, perhaps even putting a figure in front of them, oh boy, wow. My palms just got sweaty.This week's episode is brought to you by You Got This Coaching.

A question this week brings me to the topic of thank yous. I was asked if I had one thing to suggest for increasing donations in the last quarter of this year, what would it be? That is easy and even if you are doing it well, you can do it better and still increase your donations, and that is thanking the donors. I have had many nonprofits swear to me they thank their donors and I can usually bet they are considering their tax receipt of donation
