  • Take Your Major Donor Prospecting to Warp Speed with Analytics

    Thu, March 28, 2013 12:32 PM | Tara McMullen-King
    Major donors are an imperative part of many nonprofit fundraising efforts.  A single, large donation from a major donor can put a campaign over goal or close a budget gap.  In many organizations, major donors are counted on to fund key initiatives or provide much needed general operating revenue.

  • Yankee Thrift

    Thu, March 28, 2013 12:17 PM | Tara McMullen-King
    Last August, the Chronicle of Philanthropy published a study showing that New England was home to the six least charitable states in the countryundefinedMassachusetts ranked 47th.

Except it wasn’t.

  • The Art of the Ask

    Thu, March 28, 2013 11:28 AM | Tara McMullen-King
    Whenever news of a huge donation breaks, everyone wonders: How on earth did that nonprof convince that businesswoman/doctor/tech entrepreneur to write a check for $10 million? People don’t just hand money over on a whim, right? Most likely, not.
