First of all, nonprofits, I hope all of you have at least one funder that you connect with, that you trust, you have a hunch that they're a real person and their receptive. Funders notoriously, do not get any feedback. You know, it's, it's a really strange space, it's probably one of the only industries where you can be doing a horrible job, and people will tell you, you're great to your face, and keep showing up, you know, and so and so, whenever I would get critical feedback, and not just me, like my peers would be like, yes. And, and I think if you have like a funder who you connect with, try it out, try out even delivering positive feedback to start. Hey, these are the things that really are working well for us. Thanks for that. Also, have you thought about this? Yeah. And you know, I've also met with a lot of nonprofits who are hesitant to ask questions. Ask them, like, how are you thinking about where your strategy is going to go next? Are? What do you anticipate is on the horizon? Or, gosh, we feel like this is the next most important thing for us to be doing and fun and nonprofits like ours. Here's why we think that what do you think, you know, just kind of trying it out, try it with the people that you think might be open to it as a start. And even asking them like, hey, eventually, I'm really struggling to raise money for this, or there's a funder relationship that I'm not sure how to navigate and get them to be your ally in that. Again, most funders, I know, would celebrate that kind of interaction. So if you feel like you can give it a go. And then the other thing I would offer to nonprofits is kind of on the theme that I brought up earlier. Pay attention to what is not working in your funder relationships, whether or not you say anything to that funder. Think about it with your teams. And think about how you might apply that lesson moving forward, what might you be doing differently, to kind of break that cycle or that dynamic that's really not working. So you all that's what nonprofits can try funders, gosh, you have an opportunity here to first thing I want to say is Don't shirk your responsibilities, you need to make things very plain and clear, you need to honor the nonprofit's that are putting so much time into the interactions with you. First of all, anytime you make a decision not to fund an organization, it's your obligation to talk to them about your decision. There are so many times that I have saved nonprofits future angst, because I was able to be direct, whether that's giving them an idea about how their approach might fit somewhere else, or, you know, saving time, like they're just not gonna be a fit for a while with this foundation. There's also been times when I talked with an organization about the declination and the way I read their application, come to find out, gosh, they were trying to make things fit. And they just really didn't tell their actual story. And when I heard it, I was like, Oh, my goodness, this is exactly what we need. They reapplied, and they were one of the strongest, strongest aligned organizations because we're able to have that conversation. So need to do that. Funders, please. The other thing is make plain what your expectations are. So I would always when I made a new grant, make sure that the organizations we're working with know what they can expect of me and tell them, please. This application is based on the best you know, right now. If you're doing community engagement, if things change in your environment, please come back. And we'll work out what the next next best thing will do. I'm working with a nonprofit group, actually tribal nation right now. And they are feeling bound by grants that were awarded a year and a half ago. And the depth of community engagement. What we've been able to do since then is pointing us in a different direction. And thankfully, we're able then to initiate conversations with funders about that. But please, funders let people know that's what you expect. I can probably count on one hand, the number of grants I worked with that everything played out the way they thought it would. So create, create that space. Please funders also start inviting feedback. And don't just say, hey, what feedback do you have say, Gosh, I am really wrestling with this reporting process. It's not working for me, I see how much time you guys are putting in. But we're having you know, we're not adding value back to you. What ideas do you have, like get really specific, and please be vulnerable funders about things that you know aren't working well? And ask about it because nonprofits are going to need that invitation so that they feel emboldened to share what's what's real. And by you sharing what you know is not working well. You're going to create that space.
