Good article for those of you who write fundraising content.
In-grouping is a powerful tool you can implement fairly easily.

For the last two years, I’ve been studying the impact of identity on prosocial behavior; it’s the topic of my doctoral dissertation. This idea informs the fundraising copy that I write for our clients at Turnkey. Last week, I saw an interesting example of how identity influences attitudes.

If you are one of the 7 in 10 struggling with fundraising in this new era, I'm interested in pulling our group together to have a conversation around what's working, what's not, and how we can help lift each other up so we can continue offering the important programs and services needed in our community.

Interested?

Drop a YES! in the comments and we'll go from there.

Ninety-seven percent of nonprofits affirmed the need to innovate in response to the coronavirus pandemic, according to a recent study published by CAF America.
