Aren\u2019t Pixar movies the best? They have so many lessons to\nteach us! Lessons about empathy, lessons about perseverance, lessons about the\npower of nicely cooked vegetables\u2026 the list goes on. Just for fun, we took a\ncloser look at several of our favorite Pixar movies to see if we could find\nsome good lessons for nonprofit fundraisers. And we found some great ones!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, without further ado, here are 8 fundraising lessons we found in Pixar movies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Sometimes you need to abandon the status quo to move forward<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
\"A<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

One of the most dangerous sentences ever spoken is \u201cBut\nwe\u2019ve always<\/em> done it that way!\u201d That mindset is stifling; it discourages\ncreativity and squashes new ideas. The old way isn\u2019t always the best way!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was true for Monsters, Inc.<\/em>, and it\u2019s true for\nus, too. We might not discover that children\u2019s laughter is an ideal energy\nsource (although I bet it\u2019d solve a lot of problems if it was), but we can\nlearn other things, too! Maybe taking a look at processes we\u2019ve always done\ncould reveal that it\u2019s time for change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you put on an event every year that raises little money\nbut has always been done? Do your donors actually want to read your bi-annual\nfinancial reports that you mail out, or would they prefer to read it online?\nCould you improve that program that\u2019s been run the same way for decades to make\nit more effective?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take a leaf from Mike and Sully\u2019s book. Abandoning the status quo can be an important part of your growth. Evaluate your processes and your results every once in a while to make sure they\u2019re working for you, not the other way around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Every nonprofit is different, and what works for one organization won\u2019t always work for another\u2026 <\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
\"A<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"A<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Who doesn\u2019t love Edna Mode and her amazing super-suits?\nNobody, that\u2019s who. And for good reason\u2014she has the remarkable ability to\ncreate super-suits designed specifically for each hero\u2019s unique abilities.\nViolet\u2019s suit can become invisible, Dash has a suit that can withstand his\nincredible speed, Helen\u2019s stretches with her\u2026 you get the idea!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But, just as each suit is unique (because each hero is\nunique!), your nonprofit needs its own unique set of tools, techniques, and\nstrategies. Helen\u2019s suit wouldn\u2019t work well for Violet, and Dash\u2019s suit\nwouldn\u2019t work for Jack Jack. Similarly, what works for your nonprofit may not\nbe a good fit for another. The social media campaign that was a huge success\nfor the food kitchen down the street might not work for your animal shelter.\nYou have different missions, donor bases, and areas of expertise! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Experiment and learn what works for your nonprofit. Others\u2019 success may be an inspiration, but remember: you\u2019re unique, and you need to know what works best for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. \u2026 But you can still learn from others\u2019 mistakes<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
\"A<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Your organization is unique, yes. But that doesn\u2019t mean you\nshouldn\u2019t learn from other organizations\u2019 failures! There are some things we know<\/em>\ndon\u2019t work, no matter the organization. Not thanking donors doesn\u2019t work.\nSending poorly thought-out appeals doesn\u2019t work. Neglecting your donor database\ndoesn\u2019t work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Edna Mode won\u2019t let Mr. Incredible wear a cape for a good reason\u2014too many superheroes died that way. Similarly, there are just some things that will always hurt a nonprofit\u2019s reputation or income. Don\u2019t make those mistakes\u2014learn from others!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Be willing to try new things and, if you fail, fail forward<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

In Ratatouille<\/em>, Chef Gusteau says, \u201cYou must be\nimaginative, strong-hearted. You must try things that may not work, and you\nmust not let anyone define your limits because of where you come from.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fundraising is hard! When you\u2019re faced with ever-increasing\nfundraising goals, it\u2019s easy to go for the \u201csure bets\u201d instead of trying\nsomething new to raise money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But, often, the \u201csure bets\u201d we rely on fall flat with our\ndonors. This kind of harkens back to the \u201cabandon the status quo if it\u2019s not\nworking for you\u201d point. Today\u2019s donors are inundated with marketing messages\nand appeals for their time and money. You need to stand out! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Standing out requires experimentation and new techniques. That requires experimenting, trying new things, exploring new marketing channels, and sometimes failing. Failing is scary. But, when you fail, remember to \u201cfail forward.\u201d Your new techniques or methods may not always be a success, but they are always a chance to learn! When you fail, don\u2019t beat yourself up. Instead, ask yourself questions that will help you win in the future. What did your failure teach you? What did it reveal about your donors? How can you iterate on the idea and improve it? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Sometimes that big, scary thing isn\u2019t as scary as it might seem<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
\"A<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

We all have \u201cthat thing\u201d that is scary. For me, it\u2019s talking\non the telephone. I hate<\/em> it. For others, the scary thing is asking for\nmajor gifts. Others are intimidated by planned giving. Everyone has a scary thing,\nbut sometimes it only seems<\/em> scary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Toy Story<\/em>, Rex is a big, scary-looking dinosaur.\nBut, once you talk to him, he\u2019s a lovable dude that always comes through for\nhis friends. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Appearances are deceiving! Often, our proverbial big scary dinosaurs aren\u2019t all that bad. My fear of talking on the telephone tends to dissipate after I\u2019m actually talking to someone. You may find that asking for large gifts or bringing up planned giving may not be as frightening as you thought. The next time you\u2019re intimidated by your scary thing, remind yourself of Rex. It may seem big and scary, but it may be easier than you think! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Growth doesn\u2019t happen overnight. Give yourself time!<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
\"A<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Working in the nonprofit industry is amazing, isn\u2019t it?\nSeeing our peers raise money to effect change in the world is inspiring and can\nspur our own creativity and ambitions. But watching others succeed can make us\nfeel self-conscious, too. The saying \u201ccomparison is the thief of joy\u201d often\nrings true \u2013<\/ins>, <\/del>especially\nif we feel we\u2019re struggling when others are thriving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, always remember that people rarely share their failures with the general public. Then, remember that everyone grows at their own pace. Maybe the person who organized that huge gala you\u2019re envying had a bigger team than you. Maybe they had a larger budget. Maybe their ROI wasn\u2019t as huge as you think. As long as you\u2019re doing the best you can, are trying new things, are learning from your failures and planning for successes, you\u2019re winning. In A Bug\u2019s Life<\/em>, Flick reminds us you might not be a tree yet, but being a seed is the first step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. There\u2019s a time and place for every emotion<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
\"A<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

In Inside Out<\/em>, Joy has a really hard time\nunderstanding Sadness. Trying to suppress Sadness ended up causing a lot of\nproblems, and it wasn\u2019t until Sadness was able to play her role that things\nstarted turning around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More than most groups of people, fundraisers are exposed to\na ton of emotional situations. We\u2019re heartbroken by the problems we see in our\ncommunities. We\u2019re overjoyed when we see our hard work making a difference.\nWe\u2019re angry when we see injustices. The list goes on! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Feelings are hard to navigate, especially when society as a whole gets uncomfortable when faced with \u201cnegative\u201d emotions. But listen to me, fundraisers: there is a time and place for every emotion. Use your anger about injustice to fuel your passion for change. Pour that passion into your donor base and get them fired up about making the world a better place. Use the sadness you feel when you see your community\u2019s problems and let it strengthen your resolve to do good. Don\u2019t let people put you down for being emotional. Instead, embrace the fact that your emotions are powerful motivators for change. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

8. The hard parts are temporary<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
\"Gif<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Everyone experiences ups and downs. For fundraisers, it\u2019s\npart of the job. The highs are always great, but it\u2019s important to acknowledge\nthe lows, too. Sometimes, it feels like the highs are fleeting and the lows go\non forever. That\u2019s when it\u2019s time to channel Dory and just keep swimming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The low parts of a fundraiser\u2019s day-to-day vary, but they\u2019re\nonly temporary. That donor sending in a smaller gift than normal, that\ndisagreement with your board chair about reasonable fundraising goals, the\nlast-minute cancelation that threatens to tank your gala\u2026 it\u2019s all temporary.\nJust keep swimming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, that being said, I will say this: there is a difference\nbetween temporary lows and systemic problems. Burnout is a huge problem in the\nnonprofit industry, and burnout takes a serious toll on our mental, emotional,\nand physical health. \u201cJust keep swimming\u201d is great advice when we\u2019re navigating\nthe highs and lows that are inherent to every job. But you can\u2019t easily fix\nsystemic problems. If you\u2019re experiencing burnout, please prioritize your\nhealth and safety! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conclusion<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Should we take all our life lessons from Pixar movies? Nah.\nCan we have a lot of fun looking at Pixar\u2019s little takeaways and applying them\nto our careers in the nonprofit industry? Heck yeah we can!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019re a force for good in the world. Try new things, learn\nfrom your mistakes, grow and expand, and just keep swimming. The world is\nbetter with you in it.\n\nNow get out there and fundraise. You can do it!\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
