Branding is vital to your nonprofit’s success. It’s what people think about when they think of your organization. It impacts everything including your ability to recruit board members and raise money. Consider this: When people think about making a charitable gift, they often think of the familiar, more well-known, well-publicized nonprofits. Think of the multi-million bequest left to a local hospital or university by a donor that never made a previous gift.

As you might imagine, we say no — a lot. You may have heard other investors comment that saying no is one of the hardest parts of the job and it’s true. It often seems as though I have to tell great founders with great ideas “no” when I wish I didn’t have to.

Before I take you behind the scenes of our NTEN board fundraiser for Giving Tuesday , let me ask you to consider to a donation of any size to support NTEN and the Nonprofit Technology Conference Scholarship campaign. NTEN believes that finances should not be a barrier for small organizations to be able to access the resources and connections that the Nonprofit Technology Conference offers, so every year they offer scholarships to those who might not otherwise be able to attend.

Face-to-face interaction is an important aspect of any organization, especially when it comes to fundraising. If your donors come from all over the world, that interaction isn’t always possible.
