Nonprofit funding can be unpredictable. Relying heavily on a limited number of funding sources is risky – it's time to diversify. Introducing flex fees – a new funding source to help you create a more stable financial foundation to support your community. 🔹 What Are Flex Fees? Flex fees are charges levied by nonprofit community centers to cover the costs associated with maintaining and improving the facility. These fees help fund operational expenses and necessary upgrades, ensuring your center remains a top-notch environment for your members. 🔹 Why Flex Fees? 👉 Reinvest in Your Facility: Clean, modern, and well-maintained facilities are a major draw for potential members. 👉 Enhanced Member Experience: Additional programs, new machines, and better weights make a big difference in the quality of your community’s experience. 👉 Sustainable Growth: Maintain and grow your organization with confidence. Ready to learn more? Head here to discover how flex fees can transform your nonprofit's funding strategy. 📖👉 https://bit.ly/473DfT8 #Daxko #Nonprofit #Community #Fitness

Here’s what happens when you turn the YMCA’s vision into art. 🎨 At the 2024 Daxko YMCA CEO Summit, we asked YMCA leaders two pivotal questions: 1️⃣ What is your why? 2️⃣ What is one action that can be taken to improve whole person health in your community? Artist extraordinaire Emma Wimberley from Ink Factory Studio turned their answers into a work of art. This board captures the collective vision and spirit of the YMCA community, calling for impactful efforts like more government involvement, better access to healthy food, and more. It reflects our shared challenges, opportunities, and an unwavering commitment to making a positive impact. Take a look at all of the ideas shared here. This is the YMCA’s vision for the future: happier, healthier communities. Thank you to everyone who contributed to this incredible piece! We’re excited to see how you bring these ideas to life with the hard work you do every day. ❤️ Which of these ideas is your organization tackling in 2024 and beyond? Share in the comments! #Daxko #Nonprofit #Community #Fitness #YMCA #DaxkoYCEOSummit2024 #CommunityWellbeing #YMCAFutureReady
