Relative to the first bullet, our Marketing 101 books tell us that American consumers want to be aligned with the best — the best product, the best service, etc. In the nonprofit world, the same thing applies. Donors want to know they are backing the leader in the cause — the best at delivering the mission or attacking the problem. That is why it is so important for a nonprofit to define itself as the leader and back it up with proof. It's not just in one communication or one action — it must be a message that is clear and consistent across the whole communication stream and all the actions of the organization.
