Fundraising and the Government Shutdown
Well, we got through it. My Twitter feed has gone back to normal. My Facebook page is back to posts about kids, vacations and life in general. The television media has moved on to other stories.
But the question I keep hearing is, "Are we really 'through it?" As someone who works with nonprofits of all sizes, every day I see the struggle to improve performance of fundraising campaigns. The big question is whether the government shutdown and — perhaps more importantly — the "solution" (don't get me started on that topic) are going to affect us as we continue through the fall/holiday giving season.
