Agree that non-board members can serve & benefit themselves and organizations! I’ve used it and served on committees as such. It creates a pipeline of potential next gen leaders as well as offer opportunities to serve and receive expertise from people who don’t have the capacity to serve on a board at the time.

What local issues do the nonprofit partners in Spur Local's 2024 Class work to address? Short answer: Everything! Many of these issues are inter-connected. This year's community-based organizations preserve and elevate stories of local history, equip the next generation to be engaged civic leaders, cultivate vibrant regional food systems, and directly provide services and support across our region. Together, they work holistically to make Greater Washington more equitable, reminding us that collaboration strengthens our collective impact.

Have you ever heard of a giving circle? It's a group of individuals who come together to pool their resources💰and make collective decisions about how to donate their money to charitable causes. In a word - we get to #AMPLIFY our impact. And.... as an added bonus we get the chance to network and hang out with really awesome professional women, as a member of Denver Women in Business for Good. ➕ as another bonus we get to learn about the truly amazing work that local nonprofits are doing in our community. See 👀 below to click on 🔗 links for the 3 organizations that we learned about last night. 🩷💛💚So that was the meaningful way that I spent my evening last night.... at the intersection of giving back to my community while spending time with talented & successful women. DWB is a local chapter of the amazing national organization called Grapevine. I bet there's a location near you, if this sounds like it would be your thing. Curious if anyone in my network is part of Grapevine, or has had similar experience with giving circles? Share in the comments! ✅ Pro tip: If you typically dislike networking, this is a great way to do it while being part of a greater purpose. #networking #donate #community

I thoroughly enjoyed talking to Jessica CVA MES, CVA, an expert on volunteer engagement, my time as an executive director, and the critical role volunteers played in our fundraising strategy. Check it out! From the blog: "Finally, our work is about relationships. Sometimes, we get too focused on building relationships with funders and overlook relationships with staff, volunteers, folks who are just in the neighborhood, folks down the street, the businesses across the street. These are the sustainers of the organization." Many times in our sector, we’re trying to find that rich person who's gonna give the money. This means we overlook smaller donations from these volunteers who are waiting to be engaged more deeply. It takes time, it takes a strategy, and it means making an investment."  #nonprofits #fundraising #boardrelations #nonprofitmanagement
