But not every nonprofit has a public relations team or a communications or media relations specialist who keeps track of local and national media outlets.

Your nonprofit’s story is the whole ball of wax. Without it, you’ve got nothing. So let’s really talk about this for a minute. A story is not “Give us money because we’re good guys and do good work.” Nor are “Sustain humanitarian aid,” “Support the arts,” or “Save our rivers” stories. Sure, there may be some implicit narratives hiding within these phrases, but they’re really tag lines or calls to action.

Leap and the net will appear. John Burroughs Tweet Are you a “no” fundraiser, or a “yes” fundraiser? People who frequently say “no” value safety and predictability. Nothing wrong with that. But their growth will be slow, and their success will be limited. People who recognize the power of “yes” value adventure and new experiences. Their growth will be faster and their success, over the long term, will be higher.

Mystery is one of the most important (and under-used) tools for us in fundraising. It’s the most dependable way to get people’s attention. Email subject lines are a real laboratory for ways to grab attention. So are direct mail outer envelopes. Get those two things right — which most of the time means creating a tantalizing mystery — and you will raise more funds.
