Remember Your CFO is not a Marketer

Step 4.

Every Chief Financial Officer in a nonprofit would like the fundraising staff to raise undesignated income. So much so their influence is causing charities to present passionless marketing.

Passionless marketing leaves a person thoroughly under-whelmed and in most cases it is designed in the pursuit of the “no-strings-attached greenback.” However, in some cases charities are just simply not providing enough detail to compel a person to join their cause.

There is a principle in fundraising, “the more specific you are in telling a donor what their money will do, the more money that donor will give you.” Which is more compelling to you?
