What an inspiring afternoon at the 2026 LifeTown Legends Luncheon! đź’™

We were honored to join more than 1,300 community leaders and supporters to celebrate our partners at LifeTown Columbus and the incredible impact they continue to make for students with disabilities and at-risk youth.

A highlight of the afternoon was the unveiling of Mia Super Buddy, a first-of-its-kind AI hologram that uses “mirror learning” to help students reinforce what they’ve learned, build confidence, and stay engaged in the learning process.

Congratulations to the entire LifeTown Columbus community on a wonderful event. We were so glad to celebrate with you!

August is Make-A-Will Month, making it a natural time to start conversations about legacy giving.

But those conversations shouldn’t end when August does.
Some of your most loyal donors may never consider including your organization in their will simply because they don’t know it’s an option.

Our latest blog explores the planned giving opportunity nonprofits may be overlooking and why keeping the conversation going year-round matters.

Our newest Cramer Collection resource, Planned Giving for Beginners, offers an approachable introduction to planned giving so you can begin building a program that supports your mission for years to come.

Last week, Michelle and Ava facilitated a Working Genius workshop with the Lexington Children's Museum team as part of their staff retreat!

Together, they unpacked the team’s Working Genius results, shared key insights, and explored how the Working Genius can be applied to everyday work, from collaborating with colleagues to approaching projects and responsibilities.

The workshop helped the team better understand how each team member naturally contributes and how they can use those unique differences to work more effectively together.

Thank you to the Lexington Children’s Museum team for inviting us to be part of your retreat!

What’s one thing you can do to support a nonprofit today?

National Nonprofit Day is an opportunity to recognize the organizations making a difference in our communities and find meaningful ways to support their work.

Whether you make a gift, volunteer your time, share a nonprofit’s story, say thank you, or show up for an event, every action can make a difference.

In our latest Giving USA video, we're taking a closer look at an important shift in charitable giving.

In 2025, individual giving increased, but the number of individual donors declined. More dollars are being donated, but by fewer people.

Watch as we explain what this trend means for your nonprofit and why strengthening donor relationships through thoughtful stewardship and retention has never been more important.

Follow along as we continue unpacking the latest Giving USA findings, one trend at a time!

Creating meaningful content doesn't always mean finding a new story. Sometimes, the strongest content comes from looking at the stories you already have through a different lens.

Our latest blog shares how one meaningful story can be adapted for your website, email newsletter, social media, donor communications, volunteer recruitment, and more. With some intentional planning, one story can continue inspiring your community long after it's first shared.

There's so much more to a county fair than what happens during fair week.

Behind every ride, livestock show, exhibit, and tradition is a community of dedicated people working year-round to make it all possible.

During this special time of year, we're especially grateful for our friends at the Pickaway County Fair, Lorain County Fair, and Van Wert County Fair/Agricultural Society. Thank you for the dedication and hard work that make these experiences possible.

As fair season continues, we're recognizing the staff, fair managers, board members, volunteers, donors, and community leaders who make it all happen. Thank you for keeping this tradition strong, year after year. 🎡
