Money-minded people see philanthropy as more than a good deed. When they support nonprofit organizations, they're making a careful investment in a mission they believe in. While nonprofit executives don't have to be experts in the finance sector, they should become financially literate in order to engage in conversation about the business of philanthropy and to make the case to invest in their organization.
In this blog post, Managing Partner Steve Orr draws on his background in investment banking and deep knowledge of the financial sector to discuss the benefits of familiarizing yourself with the business world to become a better fundraiser.

While the adage "doing more with less" is nothing new in the nonprofit sector, the recent and growing shortage in fundraising staff has some calling this trend the "Great Resignation". Recruitment and retention are more vital now than ever before, and nonprofits with top-notch fundraising talent already have the tools to recruit and sustain a top-notch team, simply because fundraising skills translate well to recruitment and retention.
To explore this further, Orr Group's Vice President of Human Resources, Shaby T. Rosales shares her advice on how nonprofits can be resourceful in this time of need to attract and sustain talented staff for your organization.

Orr Group's Vice President CJ Orr teamed up with First Republic to share his insights on these new and creative approaches to fundraising and outlines how you can implement them in your fundraising strategy to maximize your year-end impact.
