As I read through what I wrote six years ago, I realized that the advice I offered was still relevant for me, a nonprofit veteran of twenty years.

Celebrity‐Charity Relationships: Knowing a Heartache When You See One

Wednesday, January 25, 2012

Big donors to charity have always benefitted from the public approval their gifts create. Naming a building or a professor’s chair after a contributor is accepted behavior for churches, synagogues, universities and hospitals; the IRS approves of it. That donors benefit from making a gift contingent on their name appearing on the structure or program is incidental and tenuous. Corporations that sponsor charitable events get this kind of recognition, and the charity is not taxed on the receipt unless it is equivalent to advertising. The question is whether celebrities who contribute their services to put on an event, advertise a cause or share the spotlight with charity in other ways can receive more than public adoration, image building and name recognition for their trouble. Problems arise at the point the celebrity’s interaction with the charity results in more than that incidental and tenuous benefit to the celebrity.

Distilling Personal Correspondence for Prospect History

Wednesday, January 25, 2012

Creating a prospect profile can be an interesting expedition when you don't even have a database record to start from. We do, however, have a long series of personal letters that were written between a few individuals and stored in the archives at our institution. So in this week's challenge, I set out to uncover which pieces of these letters will be useful for someone essentially making a cultivation call on someone they have never met.

The Virtue of Acting (on your Ideas)

Tuesday, January 24, 2012

My last blog reflected on Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and his “I Have a Dream” speech. I closed by asking about your dream and challenging you to act on it. But today I’m asking for your help in solving a mystery. Perhaps you’ve heard the following quote: “The rewards in business go to the man who does something with an idea.” Here’s the mystery: Who said it?

My Experience with CharityChannel

Monday, January 23, 2012

I am thankful for CharityChannel Press, the publishing project of the CharityChannel professional community. Stephen Nill has been extremely supportive, not only as an editor, but also a confidante and friend. I have also been able to meet so many other people I would not have otherwise known: fellow authors Amy Eisenstein, Kent Stroman and Linda Lysakowski, to name a few.  So, feel free to contact me with questions about authoring YOUR book, comments or just to say "hi."  I look forward to meeting you.
