May 5, 2006, Newsletter Issue #15: Corporate Gifts for Nonprofits

Tip of the Week

You swore you'd change the world by the time you were twenty-five. Well, you're past twenty-five and you haven't changed the world yet. But you're helping stroke patients or people with Parkinson's disease every day. You have so many loyal members and employees who keep you running. Let's face it, nonprofits are hard work. How can you do well by doing good?

Put some money in the budget for a ticket gift certificate expenditure (make sure to explain this when you're applying for grants). Give your members and employees a pat on the back through corporate gift programs and corporate incentive programs. Don't those tireless volunteers desert a night at the theater? Wouldn't your Parkinson's client like to attend a ball game?

Nonprofit salaries aren't supposed to be exorbitant, but a corporate incentive gift will help retain staff and membership--particularly if you have unpaid volunteers. Ticket gift certificates make great giveaways, too, for those fund raising silent auctions. Get creative with gift baskets--we've seen some terrific ones at fund raising luncheons and galas. You may not be twenty-five, but rewarding your devoted base makes you feel energetic and ready to save the world one ticket at a time.
