Each year I donate to 12 high impact charities (Like Altrusa International- where close to 95% of every dollar goes to help Women and families in need ) Try that percentage UN. Added #smallbusiness to my priorities- I Loved that you can reach the Owner - They were out of what i wanted, explained what I was trying to do (Smoking and using the jam to infuse flavor without adding SUGAR ) and within a week a new type of flavor is headed my way What's your favorite small business' (I need 7 more) https://lnkd.in/dCiisG7X

Thanks for your article in F&P (Fundraising & Philanthropy) magazine, Steven. Valuable advice for #charities. Do you have advice about admin + overheads for grant-seekers? In my experience, non-profits - especially those new to grant fundraising - can feel uncomfortable requesting a high funding amount. Your advice to people who are "shy" about asking for what they need is spot on: "describe what you would do with more funding if available". Sometimes organisations undervalue the costs associated with a grant. Applicants request funding that is not enough to cover the cost to deliver the program, forcing them to use reserves or other funds (donations, bequests) to make up the difference. Charities should request an amount that covers all the "hidden costs" required to write, deliver, measure and acquit the grant, including staff time, and a percentage of the organisation's running costs. This amount should also make allowance for the funds needed to ensure the organisation is sustainable - investment in capacity, governance, innovation, staff development and raising the next dollar (fundraising). The sector is becoming more aware of the need for greater flexibility in grant funding. More funders are awarding grants with less restrictions so the money can be directed to where it will have the most impact. Initiatives such as Reframe Overhead + Pay What it Takes are encouraging charities, funders and donors to change the conversation. Could programs like Penfolds' help to educate grant-seeking non-profits to account for the cost of being sustainable in their approach? This could help reverse the dominant "hand-to-mouth" attitude in the sector. I'd love to hear your perspective. #nonprofits #fundraisers #fundraising #grantmaking #grantfundraising #forpurpose

Razing The Bar needs your help. This post is a plug for a fund raiser we are doing as we get close to the Valentine's Holiday. Use this link to buy your Valentines this year from See's Candy and a portion of the proceeds will go to help Razing the Bar in their mission to serve transition aged youth. Links below and here is a little more about the RTB mission: Razing the Bar believes that RELATIONSHIPS are the key to successful youth development. Through mentorship and housing support, the RTB team helps transition aged youth achieve permanent CONNECTIONS and self-sufficiency. I realize through the work that RTB does every day, that I have long taken for granted the family, friends, and colleagues that have supported me throughout my journey from teenager into adulthood. How long was I on my parents insurance, how long did my dad pay for my cell phone, which friends, brother or sister let me crash any time I needed, send cash in a pinch, refer me for a job? As children age out of foster programs, if they haven't built a community around themselves, they truly have no where to turn. RTB wants to change that. As a small, growing non-profit, they can use support from individuals and businesses to build a community of support around transition aged youth. This often starts with housing stability but always includes mentorship, financial and career planning, and more. Please consider donating today.
