When we gathered in June, we spent time talking about burnout and all the ways it shows up in our work. We shared stories, named some hard truths, and discovered we weren’t carrying them alone. By the end of our conversation, we found ourselves asking a different question:

If burnout isn’t where we want to end up, what comes next?

For our next Coffee Chat, we’ll pick up where we left off. Not because we solved burnout (if only!) but because many of us were trying to build something different. Together, we’ll explore questions like:

• What do we want our organizations to feel like?
• What are we trying to move toward, not just away from?
• What are we learning about boundaries, leadership, and creating workplaces where people can stay and thrive?
• What small shifts are already helping us get there?

We’ll spend our time in conversation, sharing ideas, asking honest questions, and learning from one another.

Whether you joined us for the first conversation or are coming for the first time, I’d love to have you there.

1. Your volunteers are already donors. Do you treat them like it?

2. Giving isn't just writing a check. Time is a donation. Skills are a donation. Showing up is a donation. Your volunteers are already giving.

3. As major giving softens, nonprofits need a broader base of support. People giving time, skills, and in-kind support isn't a "nice-to-have," it's what keeps your org resilient.

4. Volunteers aren't stepping stones. Don't undervalue the people most connected to your mission. Instead, lean in, and think about how you can better value them.

5. Star here. If you list your donors on your website, in your programs, and in your annual report, why not volunteers, too? Recognition is just as much about what you make visible as what you feel.

6. Keep going.
• Track & report volunteer and in-kind support with the same rigor you track donor $$$.
• Recognize volunteers alongside donors are what keep you resilient.
• Thank & report impact back to them.
• Ask what skills they want to give.
• Retire “just a volunteer” language.
• Don’t make recognition a funnel toward money.

7. Recognize every form & size of giving. The line between "donor" and "volunteer" was never real anyway.

How much, by when, for what, from whom? If you can't answer that question, you're not ready to launch your year-end fundraising campaign.

That's the first phase—the rest of development work is how to meet with and cultivate new people into supporters. If you can’t answer that question for your donor list, stop and answer it before you do anything else.

Alongside the data, gather your stories. You’ll be sharing stories of your work throughout the campaign, so collect them now. The data tells you who to ask; the stories give you what to say.

Phase 2: Set a Goal You Can Smash
This is not the time for magical thinking. When approaching a fundraising goal, go in with your eyes wide open: goals are meant to be beaten, not white knuckled. You want to beat it because people like to be part of winning teams. A few principles...

A successful year-end campaign doesn’t begin in December, it begins with a plan. Join Josef Krebs for a one-hour workshop designed to help you build a stronger, more strategic end-of-year fundraising campaign.

We’ll walk through an eight-phase framework that takes you from planning to launch, including:

• Setting a realistic fundraising goal and scaling your campaign to fit your organization
• Identifying the core story and messaging
• Pairing compelling stories with meaningful data
• Understanding your fundraising pyramid and campaign momentum
• Planning your major donor strategy before year-end
• Mapping out your November and December communications

Bring your own year-end campaign ideas. During the session, Josef will apply the framework to a participant’s fundraising scenario, giving everyone a chance to see the planning process in action and helping you begin mapping out your own strategy.

Workshop Format:
The Year-End Fundraising Blueprint (20 minutes)
Live campaign planning using a participant’s real fundraising scenario (20 minutes)
Q&A and campaign coaching (20 minutes)

Free to attend. RSVP required (link in comments)

1. You don't have to be rich to be a philanthropist.
Philanthropy Doesn’t Have to Be
• Galas
• Million-dollar gifts
• Buildings with your name on them

2. It can be the intentional use of whatever resources you have to make life better for others.

Your resources include...
💰 Money (any amount that’s meaningful to you)
⏰ Time
🧠 Skills
🤝 Relationships
👀 Attention

Every one of these has value.

3. Sometimes your most valuable gift isn't money.

It might be...
• Introducing two people.
• Volunteering one Saturday.
• Designing a flyer.
• Serving on a board.
• Sharing a nonprofit's post.

This’s philanthropy, too.

4. An added benefit:

If you've been feeling disconnected lately...
Volunteer.

Community is often a side effect of showing up.

5. Start here.
✔ Name 2 causes you care about.
✔ Find one local organization.
✔ Offer one thing you already have.
Not someday. This month.

6. Give what you actually have. That's philanthropy.

A sincere thank-you is one of the most powerful fundraising tools you’ll ever use. Join Scandiuzzi Krebs co-founder Josef Krebs for a free, interactive Zoom workshop exploring why gratitude matters, how great thank-yous strengthen trust and appreciation, and practical ways to thank donors without sounding scripted or transactional.

Josef will kick things off with a short presentation, followed by an open Q&A and discussion. Participants are encouraged to bring their own thank-you letters, emails, stewardship strategies, or questions to share with the group. We’ll explore different kinds of thanks, discuss the moments when gratitude has made the biggest impact on us personally, and exchange ideas you can put to use right away.

Whether you’re new to fundraising or have years of experience, you’ll leave with simple, authentic approaches to making gratitude a cornerstone of your donor relationships.

We’ll cover:
• Why thanking is the most important part of fundraising
• Practical techniques for meaningful, authentic donor stewardship
• Different ways and moments to express gratitude
• An interactive discussion where participants can share ideas, examples, and questions

📅 Date: Friday July 24th
📍 Location: Zoom
🕙 Time: 10-11am PT
