This morning, I had a refreshing conversation with a City Council member from a small town. Our discussion reinforced the idea that real impact happens daily at a hyper-local level. For instance, communities are strengthened and lives transformed when local businesspeople invest in their local social service agencies, ensuring community members have the resources they need to prosper. Inspired by the power of local networks, we are developing a series of resources to support #nonprofits in thriving in 2025 and beyond. Our initial offering is a list of strategies to engage local donors and transform lives. #impactmeasuement #nonprofittechnology

Extremely misleading. Most of these people are giving to their own foundations, which are only required to dispense 5% of their assets each year. For example, if the Dells gave all of their $975M to their foundation (they didn't; their giving was split between their foundation and their DAF), the foundation is would only need to give out $48M. A better measurement of generosity is how much was given by these donors' foundations as a percentage of total assets and how much was unrestricted giving.

Historically, organizations in our sector have focused their philanthropic messaging on themselves and their organization’s needs (“we” and “us”) rather than humanizing the core message by talking about the needs of the community they serve (“you”). This Advancing Philanthropy article explores how to reframe the discussion to focus on the mission that donors want to support. https://lnkd.in/ebEemTS5
