Donors are making a concerted effort to research a nonprofit before making a donation. Recent stakeholder interviews as part of feasibility study show that donors who have been affected by the pandemic may have less money to give away. Most first-time donors take the time to research an organization. Researching a nonprofit through monitoring groups helps current donors decide who will receive an annual donation and who might be left out this year. If a donor can’t find information about a nonprofit readily through monitoring groups, they may not feel confident about making a contribution.

It is a personal goal of mine that people feel comfortable and welcomed in my home. Don’t be surprised, if you drop by, that you are offered a snack, something to drink, or fresh eggs to carry home. Some of the best compliments I have received are “it always smells like you pulled a cake out of the oven” and “I’m excited to be back at the Nieters bed and breakfast.” I want everyone to feel like extended family and hopefully return soon. Nonprofits can be like extended family too. You are bound by a common idea and hopefully support each other as you grow.
