So why do nonprofits keep treating them that way? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFor too long, the sector has borrowed the language of sales-funnels, pipelines, donor journeys-to describe what really should be human relationships. These models prioritize movement over connection and treat every exit as a failure. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe Welcoming Nonprofit offers a different way forward. Drawing on the research of Edward T. Hall, Christopher Alexander, and Joseph R. Myers, Todd Hiestand introduces the Four Spaces of Nonprofit Engagement-Sidewalk, Front Porch, Living Room, and Kitchen Table-a framework rooted in how people actually connect, belong, and build trust. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis isn't a book about acquiring more donors. It's a blueprint for building a culture of intentional hospitality that meets people where they are, not where a CRM says they should be. Whether you're crafting a homepage, writing a welcome email, or sitting across the table from a major funder, this book will help you know what to say and when to say it. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTodd Hiestand has spent over two decades building communities and helping nonprofits do the same. He co-founded and led a community-based nonprofit for 14 years, served as a development director, and has worked alongside hundreds of nonprofit teams across the country. Today, he is co-founder and co-principal of Liminal, a brand strategy and communications agency serving nonprofits navigating critical moments of transition. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith a foreword by Joseph R. Myers, author of The Search to Belong, this book invites nonprofit leaders to rethink engagement from the ground up.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 130\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.28 x 8 x 5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 09, 2026\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52328875491602,"sku":"9798994997321","price":22.88,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0941\/2211\/5346\/files\/oezWqeR8_i9798994997321.webp?v=1780333252","url":"https:\/\/ckbookstore.net\/products\/the-welcoming-nonprofit-how-hospitality-builds-trust-belonging-and-sustainable-support-paperback","provider":"CK BOOKSTORE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
