Are you out actively pursuing your fundraising goals and crushing them? Or are you sitting at your office, frustrated, and not sure why donations weren’t coming in?

Our counsel is always the same: Stop waiting for donations to walk in the door. Go get them!

There is a real difference between active and passive fundraising. Check out Dawn Miller, CFRE’s new Glimmers of Hope blog for a few thoughts, with a bonus video on this topic.

Rather than waiting for donations to walk in the door, practice active fundraising strategies to take charge of achieving your revenue goals.

Big CONGRATS to Wyman Center on their successful 24-hour online campaign! They raised $192,414 with 342 donors — blowing past their original fundraising goal.

Way to go, Wyman staff and Board! You amplify teen voices and connections.

🎉 Goal exceeded. 🎉 Community activated. 🎉 Connection amplified.

We did it!

Together, our community showed the incredible power of connection. Thanks to the generosity of supporters like you, Connection Amplified not only reached its goal but surpassed it!

Every gift, share, comment, and word of encouragement helped make this campaign a success. Because of you, more young people will have opportunities to build meaningful relationships and life skills, strengthen their sense of belonging, and experience the power of connection.

Today, we're celebrating what we accomplished together and feeling deeply grateful for everyone who rallied behind this campaign.
