Nick Teich of Harbor Camps in New Hampshire tells an encouraging story: he knew he wanted to start a nonprofit, but didn’t know how. Ten years and one copy of Nonprofits for Dummies later, Nick runs three programs at the camp that allow marginalized children a place to feel at home. It’s a cause that nearly markets itself; Nick shares with us how campers, their families, and other people close to the organization spread the word organically, and how allowing visitors and to talk to the campers face-to-face is one of his most effective strategies for donor conversion.
