BWF's Joshua Birkholz wrote this great article for Forbes on the everyday donor that was published today! To face the challenges facing the philanthropic community and increase giving into the year-end, nonprofits need to adapt to better engage the everyday donor and build their competencies for high-net-worth and structured philanthropic audiences.

Mutual aid is a transformative approach to network building and street solidarity that aims to make sure everyone has access to necessities. Because these networks can be smaller, they are inherently limited in their reach. However, taking the philosophies that underscore these movements and applying the concepts to non-profit collaboration is a great idea, one that hopefully can better address the needs of those who seek support. Access to food, housing, and medical services are essential pieces of a functioning community, and nonprofits can certainly do a lot more to support those in their local communities. #Nonprofit #Justice #MutualAid

It enables us to be agile and decisive in dealing with the ever-changing demands of the current uncertainty, while planning as best we can for whatever the future holds....Ultimately it means that we achieve more, help more people, and make more of a difference'.

Very insightful... financial freedom is an enabler of growth and transformation. This here is a great summary:.. Five years out, we did not see signs of a “lottery curse.” The nonprofits we studied did not buckle under the weight of large, unrestricted grants. To the contrary, they strengthened their organizations and leadership ranks, and they stewarded the funds with strategic rigor. They were able to innovate, adjust flexibly to new circumstances, and pursue new and more effective paths to scaling impact.
