To secure a building donation for your nonprofit, start by clearly defining your mission and how the space will further that mission. Build relationships with potential donors, such as local businesses, real estate owners, and community leaders, by demonstrating the value their contribution would bring. Create a compelling proposal outlining the benefits of the donation, including tax advantages for the donor. Finally, leverage networking events and social media to raise awareness and attract potential donors.

In the United States, go to the Do Not Call registry at the link below and register your phone numbers. This should eliminate most private businesses from calling you. (Political parties are not covered by this, darn the bad luck!)

Then, whenever you get a phone call, inform the caller that you are on the Do Not Call registry, and ask them to remove your name from their list.

Another thing you can do is to ask the caller what percentage of your donation actually goes to the charity, and what percentage goes for fundraising expenses. Many of the call centers keep from 80-90% of the money raised, sending only token amounts to the charity. When they tell you (and in the USA, they are REQUIRED to tell you) how much of the donation actually goes to the charity, tell the caller "You should be ashamed of yourself!".

They generally won't bother you after that.

Nonprofit organizations, that are also charitable institutions, can raise money from a variety of sources including events; corporate, foundation or government grants; individual giving; or program income. Charitable institutions are commonly defined as those having a 501 (c) 3 letter from the IRS.

Events, also call special events, are held for the purpose of raising money. They usually also have a secondary purpose for the agency to meet prospective donors and friends. Examples include galas, auctions, golf outings or any event that is intended to raise money for the charity. Some charities also have raffles, either as part of their event or instead of an event. Raffles are considered a game of chance by the IRS and are not tax deductible for the donors.

Grants, whether corporate, government or foundation, are offered by the funding institution by issuing a Request for Proposals, typically referred to as a RFP. The RFP will detail what the priority funding area is for the institution and invite nonprofits that are charitable institutions to submit proposals to provide programming within that scope. The funding institution then selects the organizations that are best aligned with their interests.

Individual giving is any gift that is received, for any amount, which is given by an individual who receives nothing in return, other than the ability to deduct the gift. Individual giving includes planned, major and annual gifts.

Program fees are fees charged by the agency. It may be a class fee or an annual fee. It is usually a participation or service fee.

Nonprofit companies do not have shareholders. Board members are considered the collective owners of an organization and are ultimately responsible for that organization.

Boards of directors are responsible for securing resources, acting as the fiduciary responsible agent, setting policy and hiring, supporting and evaluating the executive. The executive is expected to support the board, lead the staff, ensure the agency is meeting its mission, acting as good stewards of the community's resources and upholding all organizational policies and the law.

To thwart arrogance in non-profit organizations, fostering a culture of humility and open communication is essential. Encouraging feedback from all levels of the organization can help leaders stay grounded and aware of their impact. Regular training on empathy and collaboration can reinforce the importance of listening and valuing diverse perspectives. Finally, promoting accountability and transparency in decision-making helps ensure that actions align with the organization’s mission and values.
