We're excited to share the story of building Myte, an all-in-one giving platform that connects donors to non-profits. Research shows that the next generation of donors is motivated to give not primarily based on an organization but, instead, on causes they are most passionate about, so one of the main goals of Myte is to meet this need.

"Right now, communicators have two important jobs to do. First, we have to stay dogged and determined to keep our issues front and center and avoid getting stuck in a reactive place—one in which we’re constantly chasing and responding to what politicians are saying about our issue. Second, we need to continue framing these issues as effectively as we can to ensure we’re not losing ground toward our big-picture narrative and advocacy goals." Great tips from FrameWorks Institute on communicating about social issues this election season.

Myth: Donors Are Just Money Sources Busted! Great donors are more than just wallets. Here's the Real Deal: 1. Building Relationships: Don't just take, give back! Regularly communicate through annual reports, newsletters, and event invites. 2. Engaged Partners: Don't just inform, involve! Ask for their expertise in developing reports, content, or training materials. 3. Transparency Matters: Keep them informed about your work's impact and the challenges you face. 4. A Sense of Belonging: Make them feel valued members of your organization, not just outside contributors. The Result? Stronger relationships and donors who become invested partners in your mission. . . #NGOMyths #NGOFacts #NonProfitTruths #MythBusting #FactCheck #AwarenessCampaign #SocialImpact #CommunityEducation #TruthMatters #NGOAwareness #NonProfitAwareness #EducationalPosts #KnowTheFacts #NGOTransparency #SocialGood #PublicAwareness #NonProfitMyths #NonProfitFacts #own2feet #own2feetassociation

Let's talk government grant reform. You've likely heard about ongoing efforts to equitably reform Minnesota state grantmaking that began last legislative session and include increasing oversight capacity and reducing barriers for nonprofits who provide essential services across the state. (Check out the latest: https://lnkd.in/dqeQD2ER) But have you heard about federal government grant reform efforts? There's big news for nonprofits receiving or seeking federally-funded grants. The federal Office of Management and Budget released its major rewrite of the Uniform Guidance, the set of common rules governing most federal grantmaking to charitable nonprofits, state, local, and Tribal governments, and others. Noteworthy changes include: - Guaranteed 15% reimbursement rates for indirect costs (up from 10%) - Notices of funding opportunities will be streamlined and simplified - Single Audit threshold will increase to $1 million Why It Matters: These significant reforms, effective October 1, 2024, correct longstanding challenges in the government grants process that have limited nonprofit effectiveness, discouraged qualified organizations from seeking and performing under federal grants, and wasted billions of dollars and countless hours in needlessly complex application and reporting requirements. The reforms will enable greater access to federal grants for those who may be most well suited to serve the populations many federal programs are designed to serve, but have not been eligible or able to compete for grants under the current rules.

How do you know if a donor is ready to discuss larger gifts? Look for increased giving over time and active engagement and participation with your communications and organization. Once you've identified these donors, you can use Permission-Based Asking™ to align with their interests before making your ask. For example: 'Grace, your support has made a significant impact over the last year. Would you be open to discussing your giving interests this year?' Building strong relationships with donors where you understand their passions, interests, and what motivates them is key to successful fundraising. Knowing how to ask donors to increase their giving is something that takes courage, confidence, and an understanding of how to do it in a way that honors the donor. We share our method of Permission-Based Asking™ in a free guide titled, "How to Use Permission-Based Asking™ with Donors." Get this free White Paper resource at the link below. https://lnkd.in/ec4Kk46C
