Be Distinctive: One More Area for Nonprofit Leader Expertise

The Signatry wants to equip you to be a subject matter expert for your donors.

There are three key areas where donors will appreciate your expertise:

Cause area – What is happening in your cause overall?
Nonprofit organization – What strategy does your nonprofit implement?
Charitable giving – What tools are available for your donors to steward their resources well?

There’s one more area I encourage you to be an expert in. Watch the video above to learn more.

Want other ideas on how to distinguish yourself with major donors? Read our blog Be Distinctive.
