Thanks for your article in F&P (Fundraising & Philanthropy) magazine, Steven. Valuable advice for #charities. Do you have advice about admin + overheads for grant-seekers? In my experience, non-profits - especially those new to grant fundraising - can feel uncomfortable requesting a high funding amount. Your advice to people who are "shy" about asking for what they need is spot on: "describe what you would do with more funding if available". Sometimes organisations undervalue the costs associated with a grant. Applicants request funding that is not enough to cover the cost to deliver the program, forcing them to use reserves or other funds (donations, bequests) to make up the difference. Charities should request an amount that covers all the "hidden costs" required to write, deliver, measure and acquit the grant, including staff time, and a percentage of the organisation's running costs. This amount should also make allowance for the funds needed to ensure the organisation is sustainable - investment in capacity, governance, innovation, staff development and raising the next dollar (fundraising). The sector is becoming more aware of the need for greater flexibility in grant funding. More funders are awarding grants with less restrictions so the money can be directed to where it will have the most impact. Initiatives such as Reframe Overhead + Pay What it Takes are encouraging charities, funders and donors to change the conversation. Could programs like Penfolds' help to educate grant-seeking non-profits to account for the cost of being sustainable in their approach? This could help reverse the dominant "hand-to-mouth" attitude in the sector. I'd love to hear your perspective. #nonprofits #fundraisers #fundraising #grantmaking #grantfundraising #forpurpose

They say no-one saw it coming…. But james freeman did. Demand for specialty coffee is at its greatest and yet, the coffee market has focused on just one species - Arabica. Robusta makes up 40% of the world’s coffee but has been totally overlooked. Grown to scale at low quality and hidden in coffee blends for strength and body. It has never been cultivated to the high standards of specialty coffee. But everything is nicer when you treat it well. And high quality Robusta gives a coffee kick and delicious smoothness like no other. It’s time! Blue Turaco’s mission is to bring Specialty 100% Specialty Ugandan Robusta to coffee drinkers in the UK for the first time. In so doing, we’re creating a model where coffee truly pays for coffee farmers and their communities. We can achieve more together - and faster. Now fundraising, with ￡127,000 of our SEIS-approved allowance remaining for 18 more days. Link to info and investor deck in comments. Let's go! #fundraising #angelinvestors #seis #coffee #startup

Pushing the purpose of LinkedIn... but sometimes, we all need a reminder about the impact of our roles, especially as we head into November and the busy holiday season. As someone who wears many hats, I’m excited to share a unique opportunity that combines two passions: great wine and meaningful support for the NoBarriers Education Foundation. Incidentally we area ALWAYS on the lookout for more Directors or project volunteers to spread the load. Please reach out, to either myself, Sigrid Pfaffle Andrew Stevens about these opportunities - particularly if your passion is #humanrights #zimbabwe #education or #fundraising #marketing #publicrelations). I have popped our new website in the first comment for those that are interested in the work we do and the goals we've been kicking over the last few years, but I digress as this post was meant to be about wine!! Our fundraising partner, winedirect.com.au will donate $50 for every purchase of the exclusive wine package from the link below to support us to provide essential resources and life-changing opportunities for disadvantaged young people in Zimbabwe. We provide them with bikes, school meals, menstrual products and workshops, school fees as well as IT equipment and clean water. So if you're going to buy wine ANYWAY.... or you're busy buying up in the Cyberweek sales..... please consider a wine purchase through the link below as every little bit counts for us! So, as the festive season kicks off, why not raise a glass that also raises hope? ?? https://lnkd.in/gUx5FVpg Your support makes a difference.

Friends, it's truly here: I've launched my Kickstarter to support the first production run of Great Lakes Tinned Fish. CPG inventory doesn't come cheap, and I've finally gotten to a place -- after a year and a half journey -- where the major viability questions have been answered: supplier and co-packer secured, wrapped my arms around supply chain realities, brand established. The moment has come to lean into the people I've poured into so much: to ask for support as I head into this next stage. I'm excited, and proud, and so many other emotions I can't really put into words. And I cannot do this next step without all of you: a testament to the power of community I've always believed in. SO, in time for my birthday tomorrow, skip the celebratory Aperol spritz and consider a pledge for my Kickstarter. If we've ever had a heart-to-heart moment, celebrated a major milestone, or connected on any level about this one, beautiful life we have...it would mean the absolute world to me. These rewards will not only help fund the pragmatic aspects of getting a tangible product in-hand, but it'll help you experience the brand and the magic that is tinned fish (and the driving inspiration of the Great Lakes). Help me spread the word! https://lnkd.in/gWbRFB8T

If you didn't know I am letting you in on the secret. The must not miss event of VenueConnect is the DILC Celebration for a Cause. It's an opportunity to spend time with the best in the industry for a great cause. There is laughter, dancing, drinks, and stories you would only believe if you attended. Many of you may not know but one of the responsibilities of the DILC committee is to provide over $20K in scholarships to IAVM educational opportunities to individuals in underrepresented populations. The majority of the funds raised for these scholarships are done with dollars we raise during this annual event. Since 2020 the donations have started to become smaller and smaller. I am reaching out to my network to help spark the giving. We are asking for individual donations of $67. If 300 people donate $67 we can hit the $20K before we even have the event. I have over 3K connections. This should be an easy ask. You don't have to be an IAVM member to donate. You don't have to attend VenueConnect or the event to donate. You just need to take a moment to click the link and make the donation. I know at least 1k of you who have spent more on a bar tab. ?? CHALLENGE!!! If you have received a scholarship from DILC previously, here is your opportunity to give back. I challenge you to make a donation. If you have ever attended a conference or educational opportunity with me. I challenge you to donate. If you are a member of an underrepresented group in the industry. I challenge you to donate. If you know someone who would be an amazing corporate sponsor or donor to help us create next-level inclusive content. I challenge you to inbox me with more details and then donate. ??
