Wait @TrishBachman you want employers to show gratitude to staff??!! 🤯

Barbara- I love both of the ideas you mentioned! A little creativity and thoughtfulness go a long way with donors. I'm ok with over-the-top thanks letters, even for small donations. I believe in treating a $10 donor like a $10,000 donor. If stewarded right, that $10 donor eventually gives a lot more.

Love that quote!!!

Hi @KaraAdams ! At Girl Scouts/United Way, were there grumblings on the part of employees about donating back to the org they worked for?

The ebook I published on this topic includes a lot of quotes from experts in the field and this was discussed. So I'm always interested to hear how your organization runs its employee…

Hi @KentWeimer! 100% of staff- force them to, even if they don't want to/can't donate? Volunteers is an interesting one. Many nonprofits don't ask their volunteers for a donation and I think it's a missed opportunity. I wouldn't say they have to but no reason not to ask them.

i just call it "Life Brain" :)

Hi @erickaharney ! So @DianeHLeonard told me that in her experience, 50% of applications ask about Board giving but only 10% employee giving. As far as research paper, I just published an ebook on employee giving, based on a survey I did on the topic. (I did a webinar for AFP Global a few days ago on the issue. That may…

I look forward to hearing your feedback!
