501c3 Rules Politics

This article was written about Halloween, hence the topic. Thus, at UM, the spirit of the season left us six ways to ensure donors do not want anything to do with you!

Indefinable. Keep 'em guessing, we say. Why look for a specific purpose when it can be fluid and flexible … you know, all things to all people? Needs the freedom to jump on any new causes of day arrives. That other labels without profit. Not you, but … you are a chameleon. Keep changing it Up

Be ineffective. Boy, that has all the time. If you want to make an impression very bad, simply refuse to do anything measurable. On the basis of platitudes and empty rhetoric Great. Plan the time, but never, never do anything. It's waaaay too work. Hey I know … Just pretend you're a member of Congress! Talking about this subject, talk more! With a little practice, you will be a professional kick the can down the street.

Having a rotten place. Did you know that more than half of all potential donors to visit a nonprofit website profit before agree to give? Rewarding his snout have a website as bad as possible. Make sure seems to have been created in Microsoft Word … 2002. The navigation should be difficult to find. Better yet, make sure half your links do not work. Never overview of its mission and programs … or the profile of its leadership … or report of your accomplishments (not supposed to have one of those, anyway). Oh, and do not show their IRS 501 (c) (3) the state or to discuss tax relief. And just in case, be sure to tell your business president in every page.

Refusing to remedy the situation. No one will tell you what to do, especially government. All these rules and requirements? Forget about it. Keep your programs in 501 (c) (3) guidelines? No business person. Submission of Form 990 or Ready? Yes that's it. I do not want a single file. Register with the State Department to request charitable donations? Why bother! What can do well … you? Bring it! Failure is the perfect way to sabotage even the best plans for fundraising. Donors hate failure. And do not try to do a competent attorney. These know-it-alls just want your money, anyway.

Mess with your money. If you want make the biggest splash, make sure the benefit is the object of scandal in the money side. Your donors and members of the jury … scatter like cockroaches! To do so brilliantly, you must make sure your record is terrible. Do not take anything! For these intellectual types. Financial reports should be almost incomprehensible … that is, if even bother to have. For maximum efficiency, we argue for non-exempt programs make money, inside information and last but not least, the mix of funds with some personal or business accounts. If you're gonna go, go big!

Not appreciate your fans. Hold them for acquired. Never, never I understand … and never, never thank them. Make it a policy to act as if there were. This is your nonprofit not theirs. Also, you do not need! You can make all this … by … yourself.
