In Loving Memory of Ruth D. Kanter. My mom passed away peacefully last month a few months shy of her 90th birthday. My mom was generous and supportive of everyone in her life and those less fortunate than her. Even though I lived 3,000 miles away, I was blessed to get to spend time with her in the last five years since my Dad died. Her memory is a blessing and my comfort is that she and my Dad (who were married for 60 years) are together again.

If there is one thing that is almost entirely unique to the world of nonprofit websites (compared to the for-profit companies I have assisted for the past 10 years), it is the part of the donation form (or response device) we call the gift array. This is also referred to as an ask array, an ask ladder, or suggested gift amounts. This assembling of giving options (or buttons, depending on the site) seems to be a common staple on just about everybody’s main online donation form.

posted by Disa McAlister Fall 2017 Alumna, ASU Master of Nonprofit Leadership & Management.

Volunteer bases, while passionate, also sport high turnover. Volunteer managers are constantly training, on top of everything else they do.
