The Fundraiser Coach
JUNE 9, 2025
Ever thought about who doesn’t feel imposter syndrome? I have. It’s a kid learning to ride a bike. I remember clearly when my daughter was learning. First we started with training wheels. She was wobbly, unsure, and still figuring it out. AND she was proud of her effort. She had one goal in mind: to ride by herself. She didn’t expect perfection the first time she sat on the bike.

When’s the last time you received a great thank you? I once volunteered to help raise some extra funds for our nonprofit. The event lasted an entire Saturday after an already busy week. On Monday, I walked into my office to see a handwritten thank you note from our CEO on my desk. This experience demonstrated just one of many donor recognition examples.

As grant professionals, every day we draft thoughtful sentences to effectively engage reviewers. Sometimes our careful writing meets an obstacle in the form of a character limit or word count. You know how it is. Sometimes we use too many words… but sometimes we can easily eliminate certain filler words in our draft. Grammarians call expendable words “expletives”—not bad, as the word is commonly understood, but instead, unnecessary and maybe a bit of a distraction.

By Jordyn Bain There are many stakeholders involved in the issue I am exploring. Ukrainian refugees are the most direct stakeholders. Their daily lives and futures are directly shaped by the resources offered to them by these local NGOs. Local NGOs are also direct stakeholders, as they provide services ranging from legal aid to housing and psychosocial support.

When everyone needs data now, sometimes visibility can take a back seat to velocity. It starts with an Excel export here, a standalone dashboard there, and suddenly you’re running a patchwork of tools, logins, and files you don’t own or govern.

Rameen Ahmed, Civil-Environmental Engineering major One of my main goals while pursuing research is to deepen my understanding of the concepts I learn in class and apply them to the advancement of knowledge. To me, research bridges the gap between theory and real-world application. A perfect example of this was during my Strength of Materials course, where we studied how different structures respond under tension, compression, torsion, and bending.

Do you know the difference between training and exercise? Here it is, in its simplest terms: Athletes train. The average person (this is most of us) exercises. Training is the conscious act of working through a pre-developed workout program with an end goal of achieving something. For example, an athlete could be training for a marathon, a new weightlifting meet, or even a CrossFit competition.

This month is the start of rehearsals for my production of Sea Marks, while not my first time directing, it is the first time I will be coordinating between so many other people in the process. My previous work was essentially me and the actor(s) and maybe one additional person to assist in building the set/running the sound board. I am eager to have additional peoples input on this show, being able to tell the costume designer what roughly I need and then they can take it and run.

My experience working on the grant project has been productive but stressful—though not necessarily because of the project itself. At the beginning of the month, I had a family emergency that required me to travel to India. While I was there, the city I was staying in became a target during a skirmish between India and Pakistan. Although I managed to get a significant amount of work done, it’s difficult to evaluate my experience based solely on the application itself.

Assuming people don’t want to be asked to make a philanthropic gift is one of the biggest misconceptions of what constitutes being donor-centered. Or even kind, thoughtful and respectful. Alas, when you spend all your time on cultivation, assuming folks don’t need a direct ask and will simply give spontaneously as a result of being passively asked, or even outright wooed, everyone loses.

My research into Hispanic voters has really sharpened my data analysis skills and my ability to identify trends within the data. Currently, I have been using R Studio to combine seven editions of the cumulative election study and primarily using one question that gives the respondent the opportunity to describe their immigration generation in their lineage.
