The Nonprofit Jenni Show is the podcast for nonprofit professionals, board members, and community leaders. Every week, Jenni invites nonprofit leaders to share their stories and advice for facing common management, marketing, and development challenges. Go forth and do good with the Nonprofit Jenni Show!

I think Jenni does a great job at explaining and providing examples of exactly what non-profits need to succeed. BUT she says “like” so many times. It drives me crazy sometimes haha. Other than that, I think the content hits home.

Great content, too many “likes”

Jenni is insightful, knowledgeable and an all-around nonprofit all star.  Highly recommend!

Jenni is great!

52. Four Reasons Nonprofit Leaders Hate Giving Tuesday

When I talk about fundraising with leaders of small and midsize nonprofits, I frequently hear them tell me they want to increase their revenue either through grants or through fundraising events. Unfortunately, many of these nonprofit leaders don’t realize they’ve walked right past the low-hanging fruit, which is Peer to Peer Fundraising (also called P2P Fundraising). Whether you’ve tried P2P fundraising unsuccessfully in the past, you’re completely intimidated by the idea of asking your peers for money, or you just want to sharpen your P2P fundraising skills, you’ll love this week’s podcast episode! First, Jamie Lackey (CEO of Helping Mamas in Atlanta) tells me about the incredibly successful P2P fundraising events her organization’s supporters host while watching The Bachelor/The Bachelorette every week. She talks about how P2P fundraising is the easiest type of fundraising initiative because you can empower your donors and other supporters to run fundraisers for you with almost no staff involvement. She also describes what she includes in the Helping Mamas Fundraising Toolkit.   Then Kathryn Bennett (GivingMatters.com Manager at CFMT) explains how P2P fundraising works with online initiatives, including through Facebook fundraisers and 24 hour online giving days. Kathryn runs Middle Tennessee’s annual online day of giving called “The Big Payback,” and she explains how using a hashtag like #BigPayback, #GivingTuesday, or your community’s local hashtag isn’t enough to run a successful social media fundraiser.   Our guests this episode are: --Jamie Lackey from Helping Mamas --Kathryn Bennett from The Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee’s The Big Payback campaign   Our sponsors this episode are:--Little Green Light, Jenni’s favorite donor management system.
