Big mistakes small nonprofits make

If your organization is small, and one of the reasons you're small is you can't seem to get much fundraising traction, here are some possible reasons why, from Hands-On Fundraising, at 6 big mistakes small organizations make with fundraising:

1. You send one appeal a year
2. You put your mailings together yourself, in-house
3. You depend only on email
4. You are not actively trying to build a monthly giving program
5. You send receipts instead of thanks
6. 2005 wants its website back

Come to think of it, some of these things bedevil medium-sized organizations, and even a few large ones.

Changing these habits are a big first step toward big improvements in your fundraising.
