The most interesting fundraising questions I’ve been asked lately

One of the fun things about having a blog is that people you don’t know ask questions. That gives a sort of insight to what is puzzling and worrying people in the fundraising industry.

Here are some of the most interesting questions I’ve been asked lately:

1. When a donor gives, how long should I wait before sending another appeal?
   
2. We just hired a digital specialist who says we should have completely different fundraising program online than we do in the mail. Is that a good idea?
   
3. Our walkathon is super successful, bringing in hundreds of new donors every year. But few of them ever give another donation. What are we doing wrong?
   
4. My newsletter gets no response. Literally zero. How can I change that?
   
5. I have a limited training budget for myself and my staff. What’s the best way to use it?
   
6. The portion of our donation revenue coming from digital channels has grown every year — and direct mail revenue is static. My boss says it’s time to stop spending our money on direct mail and switch entirely to digital fundraising. Would that be a good move?
