We had a great time participating in the partner showcase and love collaborating with DonationMatch. Check it out! 

Missed the DonationMatch Partner Showcase last week?

The recordings are now available, and one idea could help your next fundraiser raise far more than the small cost of access.

All 11 sessions are now available: HGA Fundraising, Jewels With A Purpose, CharityWorks.net, ClickBid Event Fundraising Platform, Silent Auction Pro, SchoolAuction.net, Auctria, IN Fundraising, Winspire, Goldlilys Media, Gifting Brands

Watch or share access with your committee. We encourage you to find what fits and put it to work!

🚨 Attention Nonprofit Executive Directors & Chief Development Officers: Is your funding too concentrated?

If your organization relies almost entirely on private family foundations to stay afloat, you might be trapped in the "nonprofit starvation cycle." Restricted project grants can cause structural bottlenecks, leaving your core overhead completely underfunded.

It’s time to expand your horizons! True fiscal health means moving beyond traditional grants and tapping into:

Donor-Advised Funds (DAFs) (The fastest-growing, highly flexible capital pool)

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) (Aligning corporate budgets with community impact)

High-Net-Worth Individuals (Unlocking deeply relational, long-term legacy gifts)

Ready to future-proof your organization's mission? Our latest blog breaks down the hidden risks of over-reliance on private foundations and maps out a resilient framework for alternative funding streams.

Does your board meeting feel more like a guessing game than a strategy session? 🧩

It’s a common frustration: your board members are passionate, but without the right tools, that passion often gets lost in translation. If you feel like your team isn't speaking with one voice, it’s not a lack of commitment, it’s a lack of a clear "Case for Support."

We’re breaking down how to turn your board into a powerhouse of aligned, confident fundraisers.
