Advancing Philanthropy April 2020

Innovate ... Or Not

When is a good time to innovate and should you innovate at all?

From digital fundraising to donor-advised funds, there are many things to consider as we think about how we fundraise and improve processes. The April 2020 issue of Advancing Philanthropy explores how to innovate and knowing when (or when not) to move forward with implementing innovation. Sometimes what you’re doing is already enough or maybe you need to perfect fundamentals before starting something new. In this issue, you’ll find articles on fundraising across borders, the benefits of decision science, culturally responsive campaigns, how to drive donor development and much more.

Don’t simply innovate because you “think” it’s the right thing to do—innovate when necessary and only after you’ve mastered fundamentals and best practices!
