When was the last time your nonprofit got new furniture... no, real new furniture, not a hand me down from your spouse's office or a well loved couch covered in animal hair... real new furniture. Should nonprofits spend donated dollars on furniture? Does looking poor help you raise more? What's the right balance. Marjorie and Natalie break it down in today's Wine on One.

Wine on One- When to Promote the Mission

When your work and life balance really looks like work life soup, it's hard to know when it's the right time to promote your mission to your friends and family.  

Is Christmas dinner the right time to ask if Aunt Ethel will come to the Gala?  Is after church the right time to talk to your fellow congregants about volunteering? 

Marjorie and Natalie pop open a bottle of wine to discuss when the time is right to promote your mission and when it's just not.
