After a rigorous application and selection process, Carpe Diem Arts has been successfully chosen to be a partner organization of Spur Local, formerly known as Catalogue for Philanthropy. Spur Local says, "All nonprofit partners are chosen by residents who live or work in the Greater Washington region. As part of our annual review process, these 170+ volunteers look beyond the traditional metrics of evaluation and address questions that people don’t always think to ask or have the time to assess. What need is a nonprofit meeting? Are its finances sound? What impact does it make on our local communities, and how does it involve communities in their work? Through this democratic decision-making process, we then determine the critical local nonprofits that join our network, and enter a four-year partnership with us."

What percentage of $11B will your organization secure this year? If you are a registered 501c3 with a program, your answer should be at least $10K in single donor contributions per year. If not...you need the Donor Hierarchy List (DHL) ™ The Donor Hierarchy List (DHL) ™ is our proven resource designed to help nonprofits build their $100K Donor List. It is especially important to the journey of nonprofit leaders and their boards because it emphasizes the importance of leveraging the right relationships at the right time with the right intentions. We just got news of another organization using the DHL to secure $15K last week. It can do the same for you, visit www.thebrandhospital.com to schedule an appointment to see how we can help your organization get on track to tap into that $11B donation pool using the DHL. #s2brandhospital #donorhierarchylist #nonprofit

Here’s another equity issue in philanthropy: Black households donate a higher share of their wealth than white households. On average, Black donors give 25% more of their income annually than white households, and two-thirds of African American households donate to organizations and causes, totaling $11 billion each year.  Read more at: https://lnkd.in/gg72VEeV Most current philanthropy models are rooted in hoarding wealth gained from exploitation; how can we move towards truly grassroots models rooted in equity principles like mutual aid and community care?

In a recent piece titled "10 Major Legal Threats to U.S. Civil Society," the escalating legal hurdles faced by charitable nonprofits as they pursue their missions within communities are brought to light. These challenges manifest in the form of new laws that constrict their activities, heightened enforcement measures, and political assaults. Among these obstacles are governmental efforts to criminalize acts of compassion such as providing food and shelter to migrants and the homeless, extending aid to women in need of healthcare, and facilitating bail for those incarcerated. Additionally, charitable nonprofits find themselves under siege for their diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives, as well as their advocacy for free speech rights and the preservation of nonprofit nonpartisanship, epitomized by the longstanding Johnson Amendment. 🔗 Read more:

 🌟 It's Hard to Find Volunteers Right Now, But Why You Shouldn't Give Up! Despite these hurdles, it's crucial not to give up.

Personal Growth: Volunteering is a two-way street. It provides individuals with skills, experiences, and a sense of purpose. Building Connections: It creates networks of like-minded individuals, fostering a sense of belonging and shared goals.

For the rest of the year, we’re featuring some of our favorite nonprofits and how you can support them with your time, talent...and especially treasure. Outside our office, we decorated a tree to show support to the nonprofits we work with, and passers by who will enjoy the dozens of displays (and vote on their favorite!) will get to check out a link to learn about an amazing organization doing amazing things! Day 3 Nonprofit – Brady Oberg Legacy Foundation As someone who has never served, I’m in constant awe of those who are braver, stronger and more dedicated to fighting for my safety and rights home and abroad. And though I have no concept of how hard it is for a combat veteran to integrate back into “normal” society while living with the traumatic experiences they lived, I know what I can do to help – support organizations like the Brady Oberg Legacy Foundation. The programs they have developed – including adventures with other combat vets to give space to conversations that non-military individuals can’t have and helping fund scholarships for more combat vets to graduate with degrees to help therapeutically relate to their brothers and sisters in arms better – is a game changer. I can’t think of a more worthy cause than to help support those who protect us through military service when they come back home. And there’s no nonprofit more dedicated to this than the Brady Oberg Legacy Foundation. https://lnkd.in/gXYygVW6
