Happy Money Monday! 🌟 Nonprofit organizations play a crucial role in shaping our communities, but they also face unique challenges, especially when it comes to funding. Diversifying revenue streams isn't just a good idea—it's essential for long-term sustainability and impact. Relying solely on grants or donations can leave nonprofits vulnerable to fluctuations and uncertainties. By exploring diverse income sources like earned revenue, partnerships, and innovative fundraising strategies, nonprofits can build resilience and better serve their missions. Let's empower nonprofits to thrive by embracing financial diversity! 💡 Share in the comments how you diversify your revenue streams as a nonprofit organization. 🌱 #jamszkonnections #connectandserve #servingthecommunity #makeadonation #makingconnectionsforsocialgood #powerofconnections #nonprofits #nonprofiteducation #education #austintexasnonprofit #atxnonprofit #austintxnonprofit #nonprofitresource #eventplanning #eventproduction #nonprofiteventplanning #inspiringsocialgood #nonprofit #dogoodfeelgood #fundraising #philanthropy #SocialGood #community #NonprofitSustainability #DiversifyRevenue #ImpactMatters

📣 Attention Nonprofits! 💖 According to Emily Davis, author of "Fundraising and The Next Generation," donor loyalty to any particular nonprofit often begins in their 30s. 🙌 This highlights the importance of engaging with younger generations and nurturing their philanthropic spirit. 🌱 Understanding this crucial fact, it's critical to focus on all generations when it comes to our fundraising strategies. Not only does this broaden our support base, but it also cultivates a culture of giving that can last a lifetime. 🔄💛 Here's a question to ponder on: What ways are you creating donor loyalty with younger generations? 🤔Let's share ideas and inspire each other to do more and be more for the causes we deeply care about. 💡🌍 #Nonprofit #DonorLoyalty #Fundraising #NextGenGiving #fundraising Nonprofits #Giving #Donorrelations

I’m super excited for my first official keynote tomorrow at the Nonprofit Fundraising Summit Day 2! 🥳 The day is all about successfully fundraising year round, and I can’t imagine a better opportunity to discuss how any nonprofit can better engage with Donor Advised Funds 🙌🏼 It’s a such a stable and consistent giving channel because it’s generally not driven by yearend tax incentives 💰 DAF Donors have already set the money aside and gotten their tax write off, now it’s all about strategically deploying the funds to meet their philanthropic goals 💞 So I’ll be leading a discussion that covers: 1️⃣ What DAFs are 2️⃣ Why people use DAFs 3️⃣ Why DAFs have exploded in recent years 4️⃣ How nonprofits can better align their fundraising strategy to this seismic shift in philanthropy that’s underway In advance of the session, I thought I’d share my slides here and see what questions or feedback folks have! 🗣️ Just remember the slides are meant to guide a discussion, so a lot of the content will be spoken and not every detail is included here 😊 The conference is from 12-2pm ET tomorrow (Thursday February 1) - sign up and join for free here: https://bit.ly/4aBYI6Z #nonprofit #fundraising #philanthropy #conference

In this final installment of our #DonorLove series, I want to talk to you about better ways to engage your donors, in lieu of an annual report. Now, there's nothing at all wrong with annual reports in and of themselves, I just don't think they have the bang-for-your-buck that most small nonprofits need. If I'm going to ask a small nonprofit to put time and effort into something, I want it to have maximum possible impact...and annual reports (by themselves) rarely do that. This week I'm teaching you to transform your annual report into a stakeholder meeting. Settle in.

This week, we’re focusing on the different funding sources your nonprofit can rely on to be able to achieve sustainable growth. Here are some of the key sources to consider: 💰 Donations, grants and sponsorships: The most traditional way to fund a nonprofit includes individual donations, grants and sponsorships. We recommend diversifying your funding by creating a strong network of individual donors, while actively pursuing institutional grants, corporate sponsorships, and in-kind donations as long as they align with your mission and vision. 🔑 Membership fees: Building a strong membership base can provide a reliable source of income and foster a dedicated community of supporters. Think about structuring membership fees in various tiers for different levels of commitment, offering exclusive benefits to members. 🛍️ Earned income: Being a nonprofit doesn’t mean you can’t generate revenue by offering goods or services related to your mission - think paid workshops, merchandise, or consulting services! Let us know in the comments what strategies you use to fund your nonprofit, and stay tuned for more tips and insights next week! 🙌 #FuelYourMission #FundraisingTips #NonprofitSuccess #FundingSources #HowToNonprofit #NonprofitLeadership #NewIntellectualsNetwork #NonprofitManagement #NonprofitTips #LeadershipDevelopment #NonprofitResources

Corporate philanthropy, specifically matching gift programs, represents a major missed opportunity for most nonprofits. Donors are more than willing to increase their support when they know it can be matched by their employers, and companies are happy to offer their employees these options to streamline philanthropic outreach. Nonprofits should prioritize promoting these programs to donors to see more results.

💡 What if every gift nonprofits received had one more zero? 💡 🤔 I like the idea that all giving is the same; it's just how many zeros we each put at the end of the gift. As in... $1, $10, $100, $1000, $10,000, $100,000.... 😎 We can all be philanthropists by focusing on values-driven impact. 👉🏽 The myth is that "operating costs/ overhead" reduces nonprofit impact. The reality is that funding nonprofits' greatest resource- workers is how nonprofits deliver results. Unrestricted giving is key to this impact. 👋🏽 So, what organization or cause are you ready to give to, or encourage those with significant resources to give to? Are you ready to add a zero? #anotherZero #philanthropy #giving #nonprofits
