Last week I attended this fascinating webinar from Philanthropy for Active Civic Engagement (PACE) which shared research on how effective we can be in reaching Gen Z (& varying generational audiences) with our language and messaging. A few takeaways to keep in mind for our impact-storytelling work moving forward: ✨ The word "freedom" is equally motivating for younger & older generations. ✨ "Community" (helping others) strongly resonates across generations. ✨ "Bridging" and "Bipartisanship" are the lowest ranking civic terms for Gen Z. As one of the presenters noted, “Perhaps the fact that there are limited examples of bipartisanship and bridging prevents a conception and understanding of the term.” 👏🏻 Challenge accepted!

WEBINAR TODAY: Join over 100+ funder and non-profit leaders at 2pm ET to explore how Gen Z perceives civic language. Here's a sneak peek: PACE found that Gen Z is more likely than other generations to think that equity-focused civic terms bring people together. Register here: https://lnkd.in/emU9wsuY

Supporting WONDER GIRLS USA is more than just a charitable act; it’s an investment in our future. As someone deeply passionate about leadership, education, and gender equality, I can personally vouch for the impact that programs like these have on young girls. By providing leadership and business development workshops, mentorship from successful women, and access to college preparation resources, WONDER GIRLS USA equips girls with the tools they need to break through the glass ceiling and achieve their dreams. In a world where gender stereotypes and systemic barriers still exist, initiatives like WONDER GIRLS USA are imperative in fostering a generation of confident, empowered women leaders.

Earning the trust of potential donors can be difficult for any organization, including churches and faith-based non-profits. But even in this challenging season of ministry, it’s important to note that… With the exception of boomers, about one in four U.S. adults across each generation places “complete trust” in faith-based organizations when it comes to their financial support. This #BarnaHighlight comes from The Trust Factor: Connecting & Communicating with Young Donors, created with Gloo and Blue Trust. It’s the eighth volume in The State of Generosity series. We encourage you to pick up a copy. Data from this report is also featured in our brand new compendium, Generosity & the Next Generation, which offers a streamlined view of how leaders can inspire generosity across generational divides.

Tracking and using your impact should not be more difficult than managing your budget. Small, mighty, and on-the-ground every day, local nonprofits fill service gaps, provide hope, and help make communities more equitable. But limited evaluation resources mean they consistently miss out not only on having impact data to communicate their success to funders and other stakeholders, but also to improve programming and support their staff.
