- 5How do you put a monetary value on benefits and in-kind donations?Non-cash contributions and employee benefits rarely come with a clear dollar value attached, making accurate record-keeping nearly impossible. Because there is no standard method to compare or assess them, organizers are forced to track donations manually in spreadsheets or guess their equivalent worth.
- 2Why do nonprofit communications plans get thrown out?Annual communications and social media calendars are typically abandoned within a few months once immediate fundraising efforts begin. Staff members lack experience running major appeal campaigns and struggle to determine the right email frequency or whether their messages should use cohesive themes. This forces them to scrap their long-term plans and leaves them feeling like they are never doing enough.
- 2Cheap accounting software for small non-profitsSmall non-profits struggle to find affordable software that handles fund accounting for allocating different income sources to specific expenses. Standard inexpensive tools often lack these built-in fund allocation features, forcing organizations to balance low cost against functional accounting needs.
