Thanks to Chase Marable, MBA, PWCA and Tabatha Morrow for the invitation to this quarter's Volunteer Leaders of the Ozarks meeting! Volunteer managers, development professionals, and nonprofit organizations as a whole are facing new challenges as they look to connect with younger audiences. This group of leaders took time to review Habitat Communication & Culture's "Shaping Tomorrow" report, commissioned by Community Foundation of the Ozarks. The study considered important questions like: ❔ Do younger residents define charitable giving differently than their parents? ❔ What unique motivations and preferences drive those under 40 to engage in charitable giving or volunteerism? ❔ How can nonprofit agencies build and maintain trust with younger audiences?

The 5 Ts are critical to collectively creating the equitable communities we envision. How do you invest your time?

💪🏽 Please check out this timely and important op-ed in Inside Philanthropy from my FSG and Collective Impact Forum colleagues Cindy Santos, Monique Miles, and Jennifer Splansky Juster. The recent Fearless Fund ruling underscores the need for philanthropy to double down on supporting multisector place-based partnerships as a key strategy for advancing equity at a local level. "Philanthropy can significantly influence the direction of the social change ecosystem by providing crucial funding, strategic guidance and credibility to social justice initiatives and nonprofits. In these challenging times, philanthropy has a role to play as an empowering source to support place-based partnerships and continue to advance equity." They name specific ways funders can provide protection and continued funding for equity initiatives, including: ⏩ Fund both "offense" and "defense," in support of strategies to keep equity work centered ⏩ Strengthen collaborative infrastructure so partners can move their agendas forward ⏩ Fortify critical communication strategies and narrative change work ⏩ Prioritize wellness for leaders, especially leaders of color doing this work ⏩ Invest in peer learning spaces, for shared learning among leaders You can read the full piece here: https://lnkd.in/eCm_xQhf #philanthropy #foundations #placebased #equity #socialimpact

Mark your calendars for October 2024 for Three-Fifths Magazine’s annual Season of Giving. The season of giving, also known as giving season or year-end giving, is a time of year when people focus on generosity and supporting those in need. It’s generally considered to take place from October to New Year’s Day, with the holiday season starting with Thanksgiving being when most people are in the spirit of giving. During this time, nonprofit organizations receive the most support from donors, both individuals and businesses. -Google Though we receive donations year-round, in consideration of not infringing upon your approaching holiday season, Three-Fifths Magazine has chosen the month of October for its annual season of giving. This provides an opportunity through financial donations of generosity toward this nonprofit magazine/organization to inform, reach, encourage, and mobilize for dismantling systemic racism in 2025.

Thank you LaShawne Pryor, Ed.D for having us as at this year’s HBCU Philanthropy Symposium. It was great connecting with you, Meg Cline, Andrew Hibel and CJ I strongly believe that planned giving is prime opportunity for HBCUs - particularly life income gifts. Life income gifts, such as charitable gift annuities and charitable remainder trusts, offer benefits for both donors and institutions: Benefits for donors: 1. **Regular Income**: Donors receive regular payments for life or a specified term. 2. **Tax Deductions**: Donors may receive an immediate charitable income tax deduction for a portion of the gift. 3. **Capital Gains Tax Savings**: Donors can often avoid capital gains tax on appreciated assets used to fund the gift. 4. **Estate Planning**: Life income gifts can help donors reduce their taxable estate and potentially pass more to their heirs. 5. **Philanthropic Impact**: Donors can support charitable causes they care about during their lifetime. Benefits for institutions: 1. **Stable Funding**: Institutions receive a reliable stream of income from the gift over the designated period. 2. **Donor Relationships**: Life income gifts can deepen relationships with donors and their families over time. 3. **Diversification**: Institutions can diversify their revenue sources by incorporating life income gifts into their fundraising strategies. 4. **Legacy Giving**: Life income gifts can help institutions build a pipeline of future support from donors who include them in their estate plans. 5. **Financial Sustainability**: These gifts can contribute to the long-term financial sustainability of the institution. Overall, life income gifts can be a win-win for both donors and institutions, providing financial benefits, tax advantages, and the opportunity to make a lasting impact through philanthropy. #ImpactforLifeIncomeForForever

For all of you planning to attend the Academy of Management Meeting, here is a symposium to add to your calendar: 1634: Power, Equity, and Justice in Community Philanthropy – How a Field is Changing, happening Monday August 12, 3.00 - 4.30 pm, Fairmount Hotel, Embassy Room presenting work by Laurie Paarlberg, Lauren Dula, Ph.D., Yue Ming, Ellie Heng Qu, Jamie Levine Daniel, Megan LePere-Schloop, and Maham Ali, featuring our discussant Julie Langer Sponsoring divisions are: Academy of Management - Public and Nonprofit Division, DEI Division, and SIM Division, AOM More info: This symposium leverages the context of community foundations (CFs), public charities that raise and distribute philanthropic funds in a defined geographic place to meet broad community needs, to examine how community foundations pursue change towards justice philanthropy in light of an environmental context that increasingly politicizes DEI. Specifically, papers in this panel conceptually explore the relationship between power and philanthropy, describe the institutional logics shaping justice philanthropy in community foundations, and empirically examine community foundation practice to advance social equity and justice.

Samarity provides a unique opportunity to align corporate goals with charitable missions, opening the door to new avenues for corporate philanthropy. By allowing nonprofits to earn donations when supporters complete surveys, Samarity turns people’s passion for their favorite causes into actionable impact. Here’s how it works: Samarity creates surveys branded for your nonprofit, which you approve and share with your supporters. For each completed survey, your nonprofit receives a flat-rate donation. Plus, you gain access to valuable aggregated data to better understand your donor base—all while ensuring donor privacy and data security. It’s a win-win that engages your community without asking for additional financial contributions. With the potential for recurring surveys, this can become a steady source of funding and insight for nonprofits that match the right market research demographics. It’s a smart, impactful way to fundraise while strengthening connections with your supporters. Original author Elisha Ford for DonorDock.
