Progress’ Post

Love building partnerships that are beneficial on all sides.

Fundraising professionals and their advisors, often from direct response and technology companies, have a tendency to believe that Lane One can deliver more than is realistically possible. Instead of accepting limits on what any single component of a comprehensive strategy can achieve, nonprofit organizations continuously push the boundaries of Lane One’s capabilities. Lane One should focus on efficiently acquiring a steady volume of first-time donors, maximizing volunteer engagement in these efforts, and ensuring timely acknowledgment of each gift. #responsivefundraising #sensemaking

What's your new year's resolution? As the start of the year unfolds, it's an opportunity to reflect on our shopping habits and commit to making a positive impact. Overconsumption contributes to pollution and waste, so let's consider the environmental impact of our choices and prioritise second-hand, upcycled, and thrifted purchases. Our online store provides an excellent opportunity to explore such sustainable choices, aligning your shopping habits with a commitment to a healthier planet. Making the resolution to "buy better, buy less, and do more with less" can be a powerful mantra for a pocket-friendly and planet-friendly 2024. Our online store, Beyond the Hug, is where we sell donated items that we cannot pass on to families, so we can raise more funds for our cause and elevate the support we offer the community.

Most nonprofits experience 35-45% attrition rate for their donors and volunteers, warranting continuous outreach efforts and spending just to sustain their baseline. When it comes to the outreach costs, the ROI 3:1 for nonprofits falls significantly behind the for-profit sector average of 5:1. Due to the siloed social good ecosystem, donors and volunteers have a very fragmented view to make where, how, and how much decisions for their giving. In today's blog(link in the comments) I have made the case why a platform like Gudsy matters, to provide sustainable grassroots support to nonprofits for their vital work. Let me know what you think?

It's always good to consider some of the fundamentals of our work as a #nonprofit-which is just a tax status. What we do and the impact we have is what defines us. We invite, ask, welcome people, foundations, companies to invest in our work to serve the greater good. We can and should stand confidently in those asks. Earth Gives is a new nonprofit endeavoring to serve as a voice, a connector, a community that welcomes people to invest in environmental, climate and climate justice nonprofits. We're working to close the gaping whole in the funding to this work. 2% is not enough. The EarthGives🌎org platform is a tool to begin that shift. 26 days for giving from Sept 6 through Oct 1. There are 3 days left to register your 501c3. ⌚️20 minute process ♻️A small registration fee based on your budget ✅A comprehensive toolkit to promote your involvement 💰A share in "green them all" fund 💪Lifting up others working alongside you across the country, even globally Go to EarthGives.org 🌎Read the details under "for nonprofits". @michiganenvironmentcouncil @michigannature @detroitriverfront @ecoworksdetroit @sdev_313 @thegreeningofdetroit @illinoisriverwatch @ilenviro @ilgreenalliance @wildlonessouthwestillinois @350_chicago @chiwilderness @chicago_enviro_educators @chiparksfdn
