Indeed, this is truly interesting and eye-opening! Thanks for sharing.
@@it4info Thanks for the thanks 😀
Great video Joanne!!! Excellent Guest. However, you do NOT want a gift in a Will, you want the gift to be put in a trust this will help the gift to avoid probate court (please see Charitable Remainder trust)
Thanks Wayne! 🙂
@@CauseSpecialist As a side note, they also have Charitable Remainder Trust in Canada which is the best vehicle for gifting long-term family wealth.
@@waynecmontgomery We do! :)
@@CauseSpecialist The trust acts as a future contract between the donor and charitable organization. It also works better than a Donor Advised Fund 😜 or DAF
@@waynecmontgomery I wish I had set our family foundation up better. It is through a community fund, and I don't have a lot of control over it. Lesson learned 😞
Wealth conversations - LOVE IT! Thank you, Russell, for sharing with our subscribers!
Thanks so much for the great content. Quick question. We'd like to create a fundraising campaign starting on Giving Tuesday, but having trouble figuring out how to create the campaign without actually launching it right away. There don't seem to be any "Start Date" options when creating through the Nonprofit manager, only end dates, and when we click "Create," the fundraiser is published on our page. Is there a way to create the campaign and save it WITHOUT publishing it until a specific date?
Hello and thank you for being a valued subscriber! Unfortunately, Facebook’s platform currently doesn’t offer the ability to schedule fundraisers for future publication-any fundraiser you create will be published immediately upon completion 😔
@@CauseSpecialist OK, thanks so much. That seems so odd, but I'm glad it was confirmed. Thought I was missing something.
It's all about moral capacity! There needs to be penalties anytime misallocation or mismanagement occurs. Enforcement and real time monitoring by 3rd party
Do you think Aplos is good software?
I’ve never heard of it. Most of the nonprofits I work with use Quickbooks 🤷♀️
Interesting 🤔 I can see your point
I think the number 1 thing is the credability factor :-)
Thanks again to House of Feathers for letting us use them as our example... and for Bella, our new rescue parrot! I am sure she will make an appearance in future videos 😊 🐦
Great video!!! Should nonprofits be asking for legacy gifts such as real estate or stocks and bonds?
I do this on social media by creating posts that say things like "Did you know you can also..."
@@CauseSpecialist Our development officer just got us a $1 million condo in Hawaii. We have a closing in a week.
@@waynecmontgomery That is amazing!! Congrats... that's a big deal!! :-)
Hola buenas noches, tengo una ong campesina, y pies me parece muy interesante el tema, quisiera recaudardar fondos para los campesinos de bajos recursos, ¡ en Facebook fundraisers! Pero no he podido cree la página pero no eh podido encontrar la recaudación de fondos para mi ong Aportecampo " me encuentro en colombia, Si me puedes explicar como hacerlo te quedo muy agradecido, muchas gracias... quedo súper atento ah tu respuesta, Gracias.
I really appreciate your efforts! Could you help me with something unrelated: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). Could you explain how to move them to Binance?
So sorry but I have never heard of that.
Appreciate the detailed breakdown! I have a quick question: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). Could you explain how to move them to Binance?
Do you need an SEO service provider and thumbnail designer SEO will increase your channel views, subscribers, watch time and ranking.
@@MtsRiam no, but thanks for the offer ☺️
Thanks for the info! We are a small, all-volunteer nonprofit, but are doing our best to run a professional donor program. Since adopting Givebutter as our donor & fundraising platform, we no longer use any direct links to PayPal, although PP is an option now through GB. Our donation page offers these options: credit or debit card, PayPal, Venmo, US Bank(ACH), or even a check. I'm going to look into adding Zelle (instant, not as an ACH) as well. We gently and respectfully asked our recurring monthly donors who give directly on PP to switch to GB for easier accounting and donor care. Most have switched, but several haven't, and that's okay. It's their choice. 🙂
I see more and more people are using Zelle these days… I just wrapped up a contract with a nonprofit that insisted on having it as an option. ☺️
Great information!!! I thought PayPal gave you a second option that charges a fee for quicker deposits. That is what my nonprofit has? We have Zeffy, Givebutter, and PayPal.
I’ve used both but LOVE the features Click & Pledge has! They are releasing a cool Zoom donate feature too in November ☺️
@@CauseSpecialist I think you need to mention they charge a monthly recurring fee. Some smaller nonprofits may not want to pay that monthly fee out of the gate. I've worked with several nonprofits who are trying to get their donors to pay those fees. As a side note after reading the fine print, this company is horrible. They are worse than Paypal, Zeffy, Givebutter, and many others
Thank you so much for having me Joanne!
Always a pleasure, my dear! I look forward to meeting you in person one day soon 💚
Thank you Cause Specialist for hosting and posting this very informative podcast. Thank you, Sheleia.
Chart of accounts: framework for all financial records. It helps you to classify every entry. COA: Breaking down every part of your business. Individual & corporate contributions. Streamline processes: peace of mind. You can't see and fix inconsistencies. Chart of Account must follow GAAP accounting consistently. For instance, office supplies. Keep it simple. Setting up how you want to classify and not changing. Admin should be covered by donations. 990 goes to public database. Simplify your COA. Merge things. You need big buckets to function.
superb
Thank you! 😊
I love your content. Came across it today and I have binged so much of it. I appreciate all the work and effort you have put in to sharing these AMAZING and ACTIONABLE tips and resources.
Thank you so much! I really appreciate that 💚☺️🙏
2 videos in one day, thank you 🎉🎉🎉
That’s was a whoopsie… Kelly’s video on Giving Tuesday comes out next week 😖
@@CauseSpecialist Let's pray there is never a "whoopsie" button on private thoughts. The divorce rate in America could go up another 40% 🤣
@waynecmontgomery 🤣
Thank You 🙏
You are most welcome 🙂
Do u need a professional TH-cam thumbnail designer or video SEO expert?
No thanks ☺️
I see people donate on live streams FB and youtube. Does this work on new channels with only 100 subscribers or must you become bigger first, before people spend donations on you?
Live streams are great for reach, but it would be hard to get donations with only 100 subscribers. I hope this help 🙂
This is perfect. I haven’t implemented any of these. Thank you, Joanne.
Let me know how it goes!
You are a Rock Star in this arena
Aww… thanks Wayne ☺️
Really loved the format of this COA thank you for this! This video helped me convince a client to let me change their account setup from a messy COA
Thanks Jennifer! 🙂
Please I need your help I have a school project which caters for children from poor families
I'd be happy to help with your fundraising efforts! We offer several paid tiers tailored to different needs and budgets, ensuring you get the best support possible. All prices are in USD. Let me know if you'd like more details about our packages or have specific questions!

Thanks 🙂
Great video and guest!!! Congrats I see your close to having 10 thousand subscribers
Thanks Wayne … it has taken 3 years the get there.
@@CauseSpecialist That shows you have real subscribers and not bots. All of the good-quality channels have low subscriber numbers. Anytime I see over 50,000 subscribers I get ready to hear bullsh**
Love this video!!!
I am super excited about having you on as a guest!
Okay in the future I would like to donate to Saint Jude's
Thanks so much for the video! I am considering going into grant writing after college and I found this video very helpful, especially the parts about keeping records and accountability.
There is a lot of work in the grant writing sector... all the best for your graduation and future career 😊
@@CauseSpecialist thanks for the good wishes!
I now see the tech geek in you (LOL). I am so thrilled to see you getting all of these advertisers. Always two thumbs-ups on your videos.
I love tech! Ollama isn’t a sponsor, but it just so cool I needed to share it 😊
WOW! So much information. Thank you. But would need to listen again, and take notes! I cannot seem to find a progress bar. We have members signing up for our new App, and want to show the progress. Looking for a visual that actually changes as people sign up. I suppose similar to fundraising goals.
That is typically a widget that would be integrated into your website ☺️
Great video Joanne!!! Loving the Canadian accent
lol… thanks Wayne. We’re heading back to the US in a few weeks ☺️
@@CauseSpecialist Sounds good. You should try Hawaii this time of year.
@waynecmontgomery I love Hawaii… I had an aunt that lived there 🌊🏝️🐚
You're beautiful! lol. Sure someone already said it....
@@BrokerAbundance aww thanks ☺️
This is an amazing podcast. Thank you Joanne and Sarah!
Thank you my dear! I’ll pass your email along to Sarah too ❤️🤗
That is us, up and coming nonprofit! Serving the Community based here in Houston, Texas
I love Texas too! Feel free to reach out if you ever have any questions ☺️
Thank you for this podcast. It was tailor made for me - especially the part where you talked about solo founders and ideas for bootstrapping from the ground up.
Thank you so much! I will be sure to pass your feedback along to Sarah. We love small grassroots organizations here on this channel. ❤️☺️
Hello how can I get help with getting a grant?
Hi There! We do grant writing and research. The cost is $95/hr USD and typically takes anywhere from 10 - 50 hours, depending on what types of grants you are applying for. We also have a grant training program that is $1,500 USD, where we teach you to research and write grant proposals. Let me know if either of these interests you, and we can chat further 🙂
Thank you for the information how can we contact you?
Morning! TH-cam doesn’t like when I put links in the comments, but if you click the link in the video description it will take you to our website, which has contact info ☺️
Can you help us with list of funding organisation
We do that. We charge a retainer fee and then work off an hourly basis. It typically costs around $1500 USD for the research and that includes tips on your applications ☺️
Can you please share some grant opportunities with us.
Grant opportunities really depend on where you’re located and what your mission is. I highly recommend checking out some grant research programs. Even the free ones can help get you started ☺️
Save
😊
I have a primary school in Uganda, Africa. I am looking for sponsors, please.
Once again your timing is perfect. we are building our binder now but are worried about how to present it to the older members who think they already know everything
All the best with it, and I am always here if you have questions ☺️
