In today’s landscape, nonprofit organizations are navigating a complex mix of social, economic, national, and global events that are influencing how they raise money and engage third-party support. These shifts necessitate a more agile, community-driven, and technology-enhanced fundraising strategy.

While many nonprofits hit pause during the summer, this "slow" season is actually a golden opportunity to deepen donor relationships. With less noise in their inboxes and mailboxes, a heartfelt thank-you call or a quick impact update can have surprising power. Read on to learn how to leverage the summer months to build loyalty, keep momentum, and set your organization up for a successful fall.

Year-end is a critical time for non-profits, with many donors planning their final contributions for the year. Not only that, but it’s the time to prepare for the year ahead - reflecting on what worked and what didn’t, reviewing budgets, and setting goals for the next calendar year.

 In the crowded landscape of donor-funded and non-profit organizations, standing out and securing donations can be a formidable challenge. Whether you're aiming to fund a new project, sustain ongoing operations, or support an urgent cause, effective copywriting can be the key to unlocking the generosity of your audience.

 Let's get to know Bev Crandall-Rice, M.S., the Vice President of J. Milito & Associates, who also serves as a Project Manager & Fundraising Consultant.

THANK YOU!

Thank You for the amazing work you do in your community!

And, Thank You for your partnership on a remarkable twenty-five year journey!

The journey began in Aunt Louise’s basement calling Catholic School alumni. Twenty-five years later, we're out of the basement, and still calling those alumni (and so many more).

Twenty-five years later our goals remain the same -- to help you Raise More so you can Do More.

Organizations on average, retain 40-45% of their donors annually. For first-time donors that number drops to around 20%. What if you could retain more donors and raise more money by including monthly recurring giving in your organization’s development plan? Successful monthly giving is more than just an option on your website giving page. A well-planned, promoted, and delivered monthly giving program can enjoy an 80% or better donor retention rate.

Once upon a time . . .

Mary faithfully mailed her $10 annual check to her favorite charity.  She loved the charity’s mission and it made her feel special to support such a worthy cause.
