We were planning to kick off The FOCUS Group Institute (two days of in-person development training) this evening with dozens of nonprofit leaders in... Florida. But as Hurricane Milton gathers strength in the Gulf, it became clear this was no longer a viable plan. We are sad not to be able to gather, but praying for those in harm's way. Stay safe!

It’s heartbreaking to see the devastation. Our thoughts and prayers are with those affected by Hurricane Helene. Thank you to Convoy of Hope and all the organizations working tirelessly to help! We know there is a long road ahead for so many...
Nearly 1 million people are still without power from #HurricaneHelene. Clean water, hygiene supplies, and ready-to-eat food are vital resources — Convoy of Hope and its partners are helping meet those needs. 🤝 Convoy is on the ground in North Carolina, Florida, Georgia, Virginia, and Tennessee, distributing relief supplies to devastated people all over the Southeast. Work continues in Asheville, North Carolina, where more than 500 families were served through drive-thru distribution this week. We're also getting supplies to residents in Perry, Florida, and Vidalia, Georgia. We are so grateful for your generosity, which helps us help more people. Continue your support today: https://h.ope.is/3zKQdsv (AP Photo/Jeff Roberson) #helene #hygienekits #northcarolina #florida #georgia #virginia #tennesse

When we walk organizations through building a Case for Support, many of these important principles apply. Want to get better at measuring and talking about your impact to donors? This article from The Chronicle of Philanthropy is a great starting point.
Numbers are crucial — but shouldn’t be the only way you communicate your nonprofit’s impact. Try to bring your data to life in a variety of ways, including quotes or testimonials that illustrate your outcomes. Read on for more advice. 🌟 https://bit.ly/3zvnUhO

Most of us don't think much about what goes on behind the bars of our prisons. We are privileged to partner with groups like Prison Fellowship who are bringing hope and dignity to some of the darkest places and are seeking revival for both the church inside and outside prison.
More than a dozen men graduated from Prison Fellowship Academy at Richard J. Donovan Correctional Facility. Listen to how their lives have changed and the words of encouragement that prison ministry staff shared with them as they embarked on the next stage of their journey. Congratulations to all these men at Richard J. Donovan Correctional!
