The Resourcefullness Award For Nonprofits! [Video]

Deb Nelson, a partner and nonprofit industry leader at EideBailly, introduces the ‘Resourcefullness Award’! This award, now in it’s 12th year, was conceived to recognize and celebrate nonprofits' innovative revenue-generating initiatives. The award has evolved to a national scale, offering a single $50,000 unrestricted grant to the winning organization, allowing them to allocate funds as they see fit. Deb outlines the importance of sustainability, creativity, impact, implementation, and overall impression in the judging criteria. With over 430 applications from nearly all states in 2023, the Resourcefullness Awards have become a prestigious recognition for nonprofits of all sizes and ages. The 2023 winner, Project Chimps, exemplified creativity by developing a hiking trail through their sanctuary for retired research chimpanzees, leveraging their community for support and revenue generation. Judges, external thought leaders in the nonprofit sector, assess applications and determine the winner based on the outlined criteria. Deb extends an invitation to nonprofits to apply for the 2024 awards, with the application period opening on July 11th and closing on August 9th. She speaks about clarity and conciseness in applications, sharing that the process aims to be non-burdensome for applicants. Additionally, a webinar on February 27th will provide insights into past winners' experiences and offer inspiration for prospective applicants. Finally, EideBailly plans to host a nonprofit-focused week in October, providing further opportunities for engagement and support within the nonprofit community. Deb also explained that EideBailly, as a top 25 CPA firm, provides services beyond auditing and taxes, including outsourced accounting and technology needs for nonprofits. You can also listen to the show on your favorite podcast channel. The American Nonprofit Academy provides news, inspiration, and training for the entire nonprofit and social impact community. #awards #nonprofits #charities

Nonprofit’s Questions Of The Week! [Video]

Host Jarrett Ransom and Guest LaShonda Williams dig deep, eagerly tackling questions submitted by nonprofits, demonstrating their passion for supporting and empowering organizations in the sector. The conversation kicks off with a focus on community engagement, as LaShonda advises a nonprofit leader on the savvy idea of leveraging board members to facilitate introductions to key community leaders. Emphasizing the need for swift action, she recommends accelerating the timeframe to maximize the impact of these networking efforts. Moving on to donor management, LaShonda and Jarrett provide valuable insights into the ideal number of donors in a development officer's portfolio. Stressing the importance of quality over quantity, they explore strategies for effectively balancing workload and personalization in donor relationships. They also discuss the merits of collaboration within development teams, advocating for regular meetings to strategize and optimize portfolio management. The conversation extends to organizational challenges, such as navigating leadership transitions and ethical dilemmas. LaShonda offers thoughtful guidance on maintaining confidentiality and fostering transparent communication in sensitive situations involving board members and CEOs. The duo also explores the concept of milestone marketing, celebrating organizations' anniversaries as an opportunity to showcase achievements, recognize supporters, and attract new donors. They illuminate the potential of milestone events to generate awareness and engagement, even on a modest budget. Towards the end of the episode, LaShonda and Jarrett shine a spotlight on the upcoming Cultivate conference, organized by Fundraising Academy. They invite listeners to participate in this enriching event, which promises to offer valuable insights, networking opportunities, and practical strategies for nonprofit professionals. LaShonda Williams, MPA and CFRE, and trainer at Fundraising Academy, brings a wealth of experience and expertise to the discussion. She highlights the importance of equipping professionals with essential tools to establish and sustain meaningful relationships with donors, ultimately enhancing their organizations' impact.
