Fixing Big Needs With Little Money

From Susan Higgs:

Since this is my first blog entry I’d like to introduce myself. A few years ago I was the VP for Development of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Southwest Virginia. I could not wait to work in an environment where I could mesh my work skills with my desire to give back to the community. It was a joy to work there and be a small part of the amazing impact a Big Brother or Big Sister has on a child’s life.

The downside was all the worry:  Worry that we did not have enough money to meet the needs of the many deserving children on our waiting list, or, even worse, that we may not be able to support the mentoring relationships or “matches” we already had. 

So there I was with tough fundraising decisions to make. What was best for the agency – fundraising events, mailing campaigns, donor visits, etc.? The agency had big needs and little money…just like every other nonprofit organization out there.

So what did I learn professionally? Find the right tools to make your work easier and do not pay a fortune for them. That’s why Click & Pledge is a great ally.

Before I joined Click & Pledge as an employee, I was a customer first. I was surprised to find such a great product at a reasonable price. What more could a person ask for? Oh, yes, let’s add free and accessible customer service (I used two companies previously.  One never responded to my calls and e-mails, and the other charged a premium for customer service).

I only wish I had learned about Click & Pledge earlier.
