With all that the past year has heaped on us, Spring is a welcomed sight.
The trees are budding and blooming. The birds are singing. Ducklings are making their first appearance. And much needed rain is falling outside my window.
Renewal. Rebirth. Recharge.
A perfect time of the year to seize the opportunities for improvement and growth. Improvement and growth within our organizations.
Let’s take what we’ve learned in the past, what is in our rearview mirror, to steer our organizations forward. To serve more. To do more good!
In the words of Henry Ford, “If you always do what you’ve always done, you’ll always get what you’ve always got.”
Here we are in April 2021 in the midst of Spring. In the season of renewal and rebirth. Let’s take advantage of this opportunity to provide greater service to those who need us the most.
Ok, so may be saying to yourself:
“We did ok last year. It was difficult, but we raised the money we needed to do what we needed to do.”
“We’re spread pretty thin already, there’s not much more we can do.”
Or, “Where do we even start?”
The good news is, “You Are Not Alone.”
Organizations across the country are struggling to secure enough resources to meet their mission need. Many organizations are not consistently planning and measurement. Staff turnover remains high. Organizations focus more energy on donor acquisition than retaining existing donors.
Intentional or not, these issues, these struggles, keep us stuck. Keeps us doing the same things year in and year out, while hoping for different results.
As miserable as 2020 was, it did afford us with opportunities to change, to do new things, and to do different things.
On April 20th, J. Milito & Associates is hosting a discussion “3 Ways to Improve Your Fundraising in 2021”. Even though 2020 may have derailed many of our best laid plans, opportunity awaits.
