What good can we do for the good that you do?

You talk... Educate Cast vision Answer questions that you anticipate Give more information to build confidence You even tell them the perfect gift amount from them to you But the response from the donor... No gift... You wonder why What went wrong? Not even a gift indication It's like they are deer in headlights Instead... Try listening Ask a strategic question Then embrace the silence as a profound response bubbles to the surface Now you have a donor to steward and a gift to celebrate! The difference between the two results... The Asking Academy™!

Peter is a source of many insightful strategies.

We are going to reach our goal of $5,000/month in tax-deductible donations! Many people have proven they want to see education in America improve by donating, instead of just saying they want education to change without contributing to that change. From contributions of $5 a year to $100 a week! You choose what you give! The 250 celebration of America will be here sooner than you think, and many Americans are preparing for it like us! We are compiling an online compendium of thousands of primary source documents throughout all of American history and curating a curriculum to engage with and challenge your knowledge of American history! Do you know your own history? I'd like to challenge you by saying that you don't!!! But you can find out how much you know and more importantly how much you don't know on our site www.tarpeia.us Will you be the one to cross the finish line on this goal? You can set your monthly or yearly contributions on the site's homepage. We also appreciate feedback so check out the site and let us know what you think? Could we improve the design and UI? or maybe the organization of it? If you have any questions about our tax exempt status you can send your inquiries to mark@tarpeia.us #donor #charity #america #history #education #goal #donation #achievement #success #nonprofit #support

In a month where I have been re-inspired by the way Ed Broadbent garnered the respect of Canadians of all political beliefs, I wonder how we will move important ideas forward in the current political climate of such extreme divisiveness. I don’t think it’s a matter of Canadians wanting others to suffer (the way economic inequality is destroying human potential) rather most seem frozen by the rapid deterioration of their own lifestyles and in times of crisis simply revert back to blaming the poor for sucking up all the resources and defering to charities to carry the burden for all that ails society. For many Canadians our political system feels out of reach - designed by the elite to benefit the elite and controlled by the elite - feeding our collective sense of hopelessness. What Canada needs now is a leader with the intellect and compassion of Broadbent who can course correct our current path and bring us back to a place where the government commits to ensure a good quality of life for every Canadian; someone who will halt the offloading of social services of every imaginable kind to charities. Let’s face it, the rich are going to get richer and capitalism will continue to spin the wheel of inequity unless we use our collective power to demand change. And that is going to take a special kind of leadership.

In for-profit sectors, Purpose is activated when the organization intends to do some good that goes beyond a drive for profits. Such activities may include donations to social causes, partnering with charitable organizations, or creating internal infrastructure to support a product-related cause.

I'm happy to share that my article on why wealth advisors should incorporate philanthropy into their practice has been featured in the May 2024 issue of Forum magazine from Advocis. (See page 21.) It's a subject close to my heart, and I would love any feedback. You can read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/gV47QA7F #philanthropy #wealthmanagement #Advocis #donoradvisedfunds

It was such a privilege to host a panel at the #CIOFFC this morning, exploring the ways in which we can create a culture of collective learning between academics and fundraisers. As expected, the perspectives shared by Haseeb Shabbir, Claire Routley and Dr Rita Kottasz were brilliant. But it was a delightful surprise to have such insightful contributions from the audience too. There was real energy around the potential for more academic-practitioner collaborations. For those not able to be there, here's the key takeaways: 1️⃣ check out the Journal of Philanthropy and Marketing, especially the Dialogue series and Practice Papers 2️⃣ explore higher education opportunities with the Chartered Institute of Fundraising or your local university (many now have research centres dedicated to philanthropy) 3️⃣ look into Knowledge Transfer Partnerships (KTPs) where HUGE grants are available for research partnerships between universities and non-profits that aim to create robust income streams.
