I've been thinking about how we can effectively do our work in these times of rapid change and polarization. In this recent Forbes article, "Fundraising for a Bipartisan Cause in a Partisan Nation," I explore strategies for fundraising organizations to promote ideas that might mitigate controversy. Despite the challenges from division, fundraising for social causes remains crucial. At ReadWorks, we focus on childhood literacy and providing free educational reading resources, and I believe that most Americans agree on the critical importance of learning to read and supporting teachers and schools facing resource challenges. Some ideas I explore in the article that all sides can support are: ✔ Taking A Fact-Based Approach: Emphasize transparency and utilize data in your reports to combat misinformation effectively. 🖥 Using Technology Responsibly: Share stories of how you leverage technology to enhance operations and donor confidence. 💯 Performing Quality Assurance: Ensure the reliability of all reports and communications to build trust.
