#Connections - if you are someone who cares about Memphis, you should be utilizing Slingshot Memphis, Inc.'s Accelerate Impact Fund. Even for my connections outside of Memphis - if you are someone who cares that your dollars to your community have an impact, you should be paying attention to Slingshot's Accelerate Impact Fund. WHY? Because we can't solve what we don't understand, and #povertyfighting has never had consistent metrics to measure the outcomes of our efforts...until now. Slingshot measures nonprofits’ poverty-fighting impact, so you know what is making a difference. And by giving specifically through the Accelerate Impact Fund, you can guarantee that your dollars (100% of them) are invested directly in these organizations, BASED ON their demonstrated effectiveness. Caleb L. Fowler and I have personally given to this fund the past couple of years, because WE KNOW IT WORKS. We've seen our financial contributions nearly double in impact in 2021 and 2022...and when Slingshot is done fundraising and calculating our distributions again for 2023, we'll tell you what this year's ROI is. Hit me up if you want to know more! **BONUS! Right now, you have the opportunity to DOUBLE your impact by taking advantage of a $250,000 match that some of our supporters are sponsoring.**

2024 is going to be a BIG year. We all know it, but it was eye-opening--and a pleasure--to partner with experts across Arabella Advisors to produce a piece that explores the specific trends that will shape the nonprofit and philanthropic sectors over the coming year. We look at the issues that will demand greater attention from funders (democracy! public interest tech!), changes in how decisions get made (trust-based giving), and the vehicles more funders are turning to to get dollars out the door (DAFs, direct giving mechanisms). It's a great piece, and I hope you'll read it and share your reactions with us. https://lnkd.in/dNn3BSR4
