Fundraising professionals and their advisors, often from direct response and technology companies, have a tendency to believe that Lane One can deliver more than is realistically possible. Instead of accepting limits on what any single component of a comprehensive strategy can achieve, nonprofit organizations continuously push the boundaries of Lane One’s capabilities. Lane One should focus on efficiently acquiring a steady volume of first-time donors, maximizing volunteer engagement in these efforts, and ensuring timely acknowledgment of each gift. #responsivefundraising #sensemaking

Securing corporate donations can often seem like a challenging and time-consuming endeavor. And many resources highlight the obstacles and low success rates associated with obtaining corporate gifts. But what if I told you there's a powerful strategy that can significantly improve your chances of success? It all starts with building meaningful relationships. When it comes to corporate giving, it's essential to understand that the decision-makers on the corporate side are not just interested in cutting checks. They are looking for genuine partnerships, aligning their values with yours, and making a real impact in the community. This is where the relationship-first approach comes into play. Building relationships with corporate partners is not just about fundraising; it's about creating a win-win scenario, rooted in shared values, trust and credibility, and long-term commitment. While building relationships with corporate partners may take time, the results are worth the effort. By prioritizing meaningful connections, your nonprofit can secure not only financial support but also long-lasting partnerships that drive real change in your community. So, the next time you embark on a corporate giving campaign, remember that success often begins with a handshake and a conversation. Build relationships, foster trust, and watch as corporate giving becomes a vital and impactful part of your nonprofit's journey. Do you take a relationship-first approach in your role? What does it look like? #NonprofitSuccess #CorporateGiving #RelationshipBuilding #ImpactfulPartnerships

Consumers expect corporations to be socially responsible, with almost half of a brand’s perception being based on corporate giving practices. To reflect this shift, 90% of S&P 500 companies now release yearly CSR reports. Still, corporate giving rates have declined by 44% since 1980. If nonprofits can’t build the right kind of corporate partnerships, corporate giving won’t reach peak impact. The solution? Strategic Philanthropy. When corporations can easily discover, vet, and connect with the right nonprofits, they’ll build long-term partnerships that create lasting social impact.
