Here’s a case study on non-profit branding, bringing a powerful and important purpose to life. Check it out on our new website.

Did you miss this weeks episode of #The5 with Jacqueline Dace of St. Louis ArtWorks? What a great episode on Stable Income and Budgeting. Don't worry, we've got you. https://lnkd.in/gBERTMzS Eric Moraczewski #nonprofit #nonprofits #nonprofitleadership #nonprofitfinance #nonprofitbudgeting #nonprofitrevenue #nonprofitleader #STL #STLmade #STLnonprofit

Next month I am honored to be presenting to museum directors from the Oklahoma Museums Association. I have at least one other large state museums association also interested, so there seems to be a common thread here. I absolutely *LOVE* working with the association world! Reason being, I often have to speak in generalities as most in a general audience will have a wide range of interests related to risk, but when you speak to a specific industry or profession with very niche specific risks, it just allows for much greater focus and strategies to be offered. If you represent #associationmanagement for a professional #nonprofitorganization I'd love to have a conversation with you as there are many points of potential customization, not only for the obvious need, but for potential ongoing customization and even association branding. Certainly, it's worth a conversation. I know someone who can help. #defensebydesign #associations #nonprofitmanagement #conferencespeaker

The fourth and final post in our “Breathe the Mission into your Fundraising Event” series. If you haven’t viewed our last three posts and videos, please go back and review to fully understand this specific post. We started this series with that special moment watching the children at Academy Prep Centers for Education passionately saying that daily convocation in the school hall. We then saw the teachers, staff, and alumni leading the guests at the Gala event in reciting that convocation. And how about that impactful video that was shown before the Bid from the Heart (Paddle Raise)? Now it's GO time. Time to maximize the emotional impact and transform emotion into giving. At Auction Horizon, we believe everything that happens on the fundraising stage should be with the intent of maximizing fundraising potential and building giving momentum. The wording is intentional. Gestures are intentional. Energy is intentional. Emotion is intentional. We also know that time is of the essence when it comes to maximizing the money raised. For this reason, we work very closely with the client on timing and scripting. Adrian and Da’Shaun, the alumni featured in the impact video shared in yesterday’s post, were able to attend the event amid their busy schedules. The big question was: How do we incorporate these two gentlemen into the giving moment after the very impactful video without losing momentum and too much very precious fundraising time? The result can be seen in this video. Adrian and Da’Shaun walked onto that stage after the video and became part of the fundraising team. The positioning on stage was intentional. The scripting was intentional. They opened the door for Tarryn to introduce that first big level and maximize the power of the give at $25,000. The final part of breathing that Mission into the audience. The result? $125,000 raised on the first level of giving. A few hundred thousand dollars raised over the remaining levels. To sum it all up, many components go into a successful fundraising event, but MISSION is front and center. #breathethemissionintoyourevent #auctionhorizon #fundraising https://lnkd.in/enV42sf9

🌟 An #volunteering open day is a great way to showcase what volunteering is like at your organisation. Spice up your with these top tips from @swmuseums 🔗 https://buff.ly/47gV2FG #101Wednesday #Volunteer #volunteermanagement #volunteerism #museums #heritage

🌡 Let's talk VOLUNTEERS 👉 However big your Charity / Museum / Heritage organisation is, have you got the right insurance to deal with volunteer and employee issues that get a bit spicy?! 👍 The case in point in Brixham will no doubt highlight for all charities the need for a discussion on Employment Practices cover (and limits) at the very least. 📞 Talk to PIB Insurance Brokers for great advice and appropriate insurance cover to protect your management team. #charity #charityinsurance #museum #museuminsurance #heritageinsurance #employmentpractices #pib #protectmanagement
