Rural counties, like the ones that comprise most of our 16-county service area in Southeast Missouri have some of the highest rates of food insecurity across the country. Rural communities make up 63% of all U.S counties, but 87% of counties with the highest food insecurity rates. But working together, we can all join together to end hunger. Every action ― big or small ― is one step closer to an America where no one is hungry. This September, during #HungerActionMonth, join the movement to end hunger by volunteering, donating or advocating: https://buff.ly/2TEjNsT

Hence, our approach is holistic, recognizing the intertwined relationship between our planet and its people. From climate regulation to job creation, a healthy ocean benefits us all. That's why we take a people-centered, multidisciplinary approach to drive long-term change. We need to help people to help the ocean.

Attention grassroots nonprofit leaders and founders! A local nonprofit is making a big difference in the Columbia Basin area, working tirelessly to rescue and care for wild horses at risk. Their mission is reliant on the generosity of community donations and financial support. This story reminds us of the power our nonprofits hold and the need for support, particularly in marketing our missions. Funds can be tight, and getting the message out about who we are and what we do can sometimes feel daunting. But remember, your work is vital, your mission is inspiring, and your impact is immeasurable. In the face of challenges, let’s remember to share our stories, connect with our communities, and proudly lift up the causes we champion. Continuous marketing of our cause is essential, yet often overlooked. With the right strategies, we can ensure our missions won't be overshadowed but seen and supported. Keep making a difference, keep sharing your stories and remember - you are not alone in this journey. Let’s continue to #GiveHopeDaily and inspire the world with our cause. #NonProfitEnthusiast #BusinessMarketingSolutions #AnimalRescueChampion #GiveHopeDaily #NonProfitMarketing #FundraisingForImpact

I have been Protect the West Coast's Fundraising Manager for a year now. With no real prior hands-on NGO fundraising experience, apart from my Communications Manager role with PTWC, I was dropped in the deep end. Of course, I immediately discovered that raising sufficient funds for a non-profit to keep the lights on is an enormous challenge. On one hand the 'ask' is easier as you are asking people to support a good cause. But on the other, you are competing with a cacophony of other similar causes, as well as the fact that times are tough and people don't have a lot of money to throw around. While my media, marketing and sales experience in the private sector has naturally been of huge benefit and there is a strong overlap between comms and fundraising, non-profit fundraising is a different animal to commercial marketing, requiring fresh creative thinking to stand out from the crowd and solicit sufficient, ongoing support. Our team have come up with a couple of new fundraising concepts that we will be testing in the coming weeks and months. I am gravitating towards and enjoying email as a communications and fundraising tool, so my focus will be on that aspect, but of course, we will also be promoting our campaigns on social media etc. What do you think? Do you think this is a good approach or are there better ways to raise funds from the public? Any further advice would be much appreciated. This stuff is hard, but we are getting there!

5 for the Future: Building a Stronger Muscatine County! Did you know that over $331 million is expected to be transferred from Muscatine County estates in the next 10 years? Thanks to the new "5 for the Future" initiative by Iowa Community Foundations, a portion of those funds could be reinvested right here in our community! What is 5 for the Future? It's a program that encourages individuals to donate just 5% of their estates to their local community foundation. In Muscatine County's case, 5% of that $331 million translates to over $16.5 million! Planned legacy giving can help protect, grow, and spread resources that may otherwise lose roots.
