At Candid, our mission is to get you the information you need to do good. This also means clearing up mis information when we come across it. In service of this, in this blog, we’re highlighting five things we’ve heard about our grants data that aren’t quite accurate. Myth 1: “Candid grants data” is the same as “990 data.” U.S. tax exempt nonprofit organizations must file various Forms 990 with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) each year.

Some donors may only be able to give a nickel per day. Then goes to a dime, to a quarter, to a dollar. If you are patient — and thank them, steward them and engage them — you’ll be able to ask them for extra gifts, special projects and upgrade them to higher levels.

I love Costco. After all, what’s not to love? You’ve got the rotisserie chicken. Large and meaty. Seasoned to perfection and slow-cooked on rotating skewers. For my small family of two, Costco’s rotisserie chicken is a real value for the money. The birds are big and the meat is tender and moist. That means that just one of their chickens translates into three meals.

But direct mail isn’t dead —the personal touch, visibility, and open rate that comes with direct mail have made it significant in the digital age. For these reasons and more, direct mail donor acquisition works.
