How about tax credits to invest in college loans.  Know how to leverage your first years of employment in canceling loans. A tax cut for employees whom come to work for the organization.

Boston University, Worcester State College and Bay Path College have concentrations in their MBA programs for nonprofit leadership.  Nonprofits should reach out to these schools and let their students know about college reimbursement programs you may offer as part of recruiting staff.

For more information about what keeps MBA’s away from careers at nonprofits check out the Boston Business Journal post of June 13, 2008.

Do Sport Charities Last?

Sports events so much more fun to watch in HDTV but I doubt it improves the survival of charities begun by athletes.

The Boston Business Journal profiles several foundations and offers some great advice to Athletes whom wish to make an impact and are thinking of setting up their own foundation.   Click here for the link.

Profiling of a Donor

To make sure I can get what I want I give my parents hints.  For my birthday I would like a computer.  For school I need to be able to do research.  I will not  crash your computer if I have my own.  The computer screen will not get messed up.  This drawing of the car is from a Play Station game I want.  It has lots of cool cars.

From Papa:

Just like knowing the interests of our children, nonprofits need to know the interests of their current and potential donors.  There is nothing worst than showing a lack of interest in whom the donor is.  Did you do your homework about the donor?  Do you have talking points of interest to establish a personnel connections. Have you gathered information to create a profile on the donor and feel there is sufficient information to interact with the potential donor.  Play to the donors strengths and interest.  Remember you need to be in contact seven times to maximize the communication and increase results.   You do not ask for money every time.   Try an Internet search on the person and see what comes up.
