It’s time to rethink major gift officer metrics
It’s easy to count inputs. That’s why nonprofits have long used easy-to-count metrics to evaluate their frontline fundraisers. But those measures—such as the number of face-to-face contacts, the number of proposals submitted, the value of submitted proposals, and the size of the portfolio—often fail to capture the value of gift officers’ work. This is particularly true in the middle of a pandemic when safety is paramount and precludes in-person meetings and events.
Here’s how major gift officers can overcome pandemic fatigue
It is difficult to escape the reality that these are not normal times. Maybe that’s because many school buildings and college campuses across the country sit empty as millions of students attend school remotely. Or because it’s nearly impossible to avoid the nonstop deluge of news surrounding COVID-19, racial unrest, and elections. In the midst of all this disruption, does anyone feel as if they’ve had time to rest and refocus for what’s ahead?
