NHPCO NewsLine Fall 2017 - 21

The fourth quarter includes the busiest fundraising months of the year.
National Philanthropy Month and the holiday season, which is of course the
traditional time for "giving," prompts us to remember our favorite charities
while the end of the year compels us to write those checks and benefit from
the deduction on our 2017 tax returns.
As hospice and palliative care providers, you see... you hear... you know
firsthand the value that your services provide. But a critical component of
successful philanthropic initiatives is making sure others do too - again and
again. Getting potential donors to "buy into" your goals and objectives will
often lead to the generous gifts all programs strive for and can build upon
year after year.
So what can you do to bolster their success?
In recognition of the upcoming year-end rush and the challenges we all face
during the busy time ahead, the National Hospice Foundation has compiled
some tips from a variety of experts in the field to help you achieve success:
MAKE SURE PHILANTHROPY IS A CORE ELEMENT
OF YOUR MISSION.

November is also

Most significant philanthropic relationships develop through board members
and professionals involved in your organization. Thus, you must treat your
CEO and chief development officer as colleagues in the internal workings of
the board - so the right attitude or "tone" will be projected into your
community initiatives.

National Hospice and
Palliative Care Month, a
time of active outreach.

CREATE A "CASE" FOR GIVING - KEEPING THE
DONOR'S PERSPECTIVE IN MIND.
Develop and maintain a Statement of the Case for Giving that articulates your
organization's strategic intent and presents the reason for its existence and
activities. But be sure to draft it for the audience you're aiming to reach: your
prospective donors! It's no secret that, like all of us, donors make gifts to
meet their own needs for satisfaction, security, recognition, etc. So make your
Statement speak to those needs. For example, if your case for giving includes
needed funds for a new bereavement center, address the ways in which the
donor's community will be better served as a result of it - that means their
neighbors, colleagues and, perhaps one day, their loved ones.
MAKE SURE YOUR ENTIRE TEAM SPEAKS THE SAME MESSAGE.
It's so important that all key representatives of your organization, such as
your volunteers, trustees, CEO, and chief development officer, present a public
face of close unanimity while still respecting their distinct roles.
