Last Friday, I had the opportunity to volunteer for the “Return of the Blue and Red” Buffalo Bills scrimmage. Through the Buffalo Bills Community Ticket Program in partnership with M&T Bank, the Bills and M&T distributed 1,000 free tickets to local children, their families and area nonprofits that serve diverse communities. It was such a memorable evening seeing their excitement as they arrived at Highmark Stadium and helping to make their game day experience special! #FootballBringsUsTogether

County leaders may limit how much money they give to nonprofit groups and projects serving low-income neighborhoods in light of looming budget challenges. The Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors today is considering capping community spending per district at $1 million, but potentially raising the ceiling to $2 million for districts with greater need, such as District 2. The county’s technical term for such spending is “inventory items.” During the budget process, supervisors can propose one-time funds related to various community programs.

We have community land trust projects right here in the region that are working to change how we think about community stewardship and ownership of land. Here is a conversation about how land trusts are democratizing housing in Brooklyn. #communitylandtrust #democratizingwealth
“Community land trusts are nonprofit corporations that hold land on behalf of a place-based community, while serving as the long-term steward for affordable housing, community gardens, and other community assets on behalf of a community.” Community land trusts are changing the game and democratizing housing in Brooklyn - Brooklyn Org

In 2024, the KFC Foundation will award $10,000 to up to 100 nonprofits "to make their Kentucky Fried Wishes come true." From the Foundation's website: > "We’re looking for tangible, actionable projects that are feasible to accomplish with the $10,000 grant and will make an immediate impact in your community." > If you have a larger project (i.e., 100-mile trail restoration), break it down into something that $10,000 could cover in full (i.e., 10-mile trail restoration out of our 100-mile project). If additional funding is needed, detailed plans for securing additional resources must be provided in the Project Budget.

Check out this article from OCG’s very own Taryn Taddeo Palumbo! Nonprofits exist in communities across the country, and there are more than 1.8 million nonprofits registered in the U.S. Yet, in an annual review conducted of nonprofits, only 13% of nonprofits reported engaging voters in 2022. At Orange County Grantmakers, we are pleased to support Charitable Ventures, on its OC Votes initiative to help nonprofits understand the important role they play in getting out the vote. Through resources like voter guides from LAist , the Orange County Register, and Voice Of OC, we encourage noprofit and community leaders to learn about the local issues on the upcoming ballot. Nonprofit-driven voter engagement is not only a chance to help communities better understand how casting a ballot matters in hyperlocal issues affecting their everyday lives, but it’s also an opportunity to advance equity by ensuring our democracy fully represents the vibrant, diverse communities that exist across this nation.

Rod and his team are the best. Fast, efficient and a wealth of knowledge in the business. I loved voicing this one, a bit of narration, different that a commercial really and still different from eLearning. The closest I’ve gotten to a “documentary”. #FortWayne #NonProfit #Narration
At Luminous we help nonprofits tell their story. Community Harvest has been serving this community for over 40 years! Watch this opening to their documentary and let's discuss your story! luminousproductions.org

"As part of the #WHY15 campaign, Nonprofit New York celebrates a $58 million restoration to city libraries, allowing them to serve their communities on Sundays, and a number of cultural institutions were relieved to find themselves back at baseline budget levels." "It is important to note that too many nonprofits and agencies did not see crucial funding restored. Some of these nonprofits will be forced to close their doors because their organizational needs were zeroed out of the recently approved budget. Nonprofits supporting the parks and open spaces - places that are crucial to public health and safety - are forced, once again, to confront the challenges created by a consistent lack of investment and funding."

Today I launched a new business! CLEcast offers affordable continuing legal education (CLE) credits to the legal community and splits net profit with nonprofits. When I was brainstorming ways to raise money for Politisit, a friend mentioned that ethics CLEs often raise a lot from the legal community. I decided to run with this and create a whole company. When you buy a CLE, you get to pick which nonprofit your money supports, and we rotate partner nonprofits each month. Please tell the lawyers in your network and alert your favorite nonprofit about this simple funding stream. Check out CLEcast.net.

Did you know there are different types of special needs trusts? Pooled trusts, which is what Community Fund Ohio offers, have the advantage of professional management by a nonprofit organization, which ensures the funds are handled with expertise and comply with legal requirements. It also reduces administrative costs compared to individually managed trusts.
