Donors have a unique ability to strengthen the work of #nonprofits through their own #philanthropic journey. As TPI helps #funders make determinations on which organizations are right for them, we also help them make sure their #grantees are effective, using many of the same parameters outlined on Exponent Philanthropy's blog.

Donor Advised Funds are too often shrouded in mystery and frustration for nonprofit fundraisers, leaving them with some burning questions. 🔥 We answered as many as we could in a recent discussion we joined with Association of Fundraising Professionals - New York City Chapter (AFP-NYC), and put together a recap of the best answers to the 5 most common questions: 1️⃣ How exactly do we ask for DAF gifts? 2️⃣ We’ve never had a DAF strategy - where do I start? 3️⃣ What can we do to make sure we’re set up correctly to receive gifts from different DAFs? 4️⃣ Are DAFs really that common? Isn’t it just the mega rich who use them? 5️⃣ How can we connect with more DAFs & DAF donors? If any of these thoughts have crossed your mind, be sure and check out this week’s blog post! https://lnkd.in/eA-tGQ5X #nonprofit #philanthropy #fundraising #donoradvisedfunds

Although often overlooked, capacity building develops the all-important “infrastructure” that supports and shapes charitable nonprofits into forces for good. Capacity building enables nonprofit organizations and their leaders to develop competencies and skills that can make them more effective and sustainable, therefore increasing the potential for charitable nonprofits to enrich lives and solve society’s most intractable problems. #PureMomentumConsulting #NonProfitLeaders #NonProfitManagement #Sustainability #BuildingCapacity #NonProfitLeadership #Philanthropy #CapacityBuilding #NonProfitCapacityBuilding

Do you have the FREE wealth screening tool available to all nonprofits? It’s called TALK TO YOUR DONORS! ✅ It’s free. ✅ It’s accurate. ✅ It’s not creepy. ✅ The donor has entrusted you with the information that they share. I love wealth screening tools for seeing who should be in your portfolio out of thousands of donors. But once they’re in your portfolio, just GO TALK TO THEM! #onevisitaway #nonprofits #philanthropy #MajorGiftMillions

When we first built Givzey, we knew that lightning-quick onboarding and adoption would be critical for our nonprofit partners to succeed. And, when you have amazing partners who know their organization and their donors, the ways they can use Givzey to grow fundraising seem endless. Here's what Meghan Dauler Palombo of William & Mary had to say about onboarding and adoption: "What I love most about Givzey is that W&M can now apply our multi-year giving strategy to giving at all levels. Onboarding took less than an hour and we immediately used Givzey in our fiscal year-end push. We've applied the Gift Agreement Platform to W&M Athletics, board member commitments, and for major gifts – and we're still finding more ways to use it."
