    Stewarding Donors Through Crisis

    Crises will happen.

    Nonprofits put in place leadership structures, accountability measures, and dedicated teams to prevent them as much as possible. And yet even the most well-prepared, best practice-driven, and finest mission-oriented nonprofits are not immune. News of misconduct at community foundations, cover-ups of abuse within religious denominations, and accusations of misuse of donor funds at service organizations has risen to the surface in the past several years alone.

    Why a One-Size-Fits-All Website Isn’t Enough

    If your company serves multiple markets, the prospects you attract to your website can vary greatly in terms of their individual needs and areas of interest.

    Rethinking the Campaign Kickoff
