🚀 How to Grow Your New Donor Pipeline Using LinkedIn for NPO Leaders! In my journey coaching nonprofit leaders, I've discovered the power of **strategic connections** in fundraising. Here's a quick guide to amplify your efforts: 1. **Focus Your Search**: Start with identifying major employers and industries in your area with a culture of giving. Analyze current donors for trends to pinpoint supportive sectors. 2. **Craft Your Roadmap**: Use these insights to list potential local companies and organizations for outreach on LinkedIn. 3. **Engage with Strategy**: - Leverage LinkedIn's search to find mutual connections for introductions. - A paid account offers direct messaging, but don’t overlook other creative ways to connect. - Consult with your board for potential introductions and insights. - Communication is key: Be brief, impactful, and aim for a brief discovery call to explore collaboration, focusing on mutual benefits and shared goals. 🌟 Remember, fundraising is about building relationships. Think of it as dating - make a good impression, listen, and connect on shared objectives. It's a numbers game; more connections mean more opportunities to find those who resonate with your cause. NOTE: I still have three more spots left in my spring group coaching cohort so if you’re interested in a year-long program of support like none other, a lot of personal growth and mission momentum DM or reach out. #NonprofitLeadership #Fundraising #StrategicConnections #CommunityImpact #FreedLeaders

🚀A Highlight Moment: The Power of Listening in M&E A few months ago, I conducted a focus group discussion. During the discussion, I noticed something unusual – a young participant sat quietly, watching, but never speaking. 🤔 Curious, I took a moment after the session to ask her opinion. She shared insights that none of the vocal participants had mentioned – challenges on accessing opportunities and the stigma young people like her faced. Lesson Learned? 🔍 Always create space for silent voices. Sometimes, the most valuable insights come from those who don’t speak up right away. As M&E professionals, our role is not just to gather data but to create safe spaces for all voices to be heard. What’s been your highlight of the week?
