What's your YES?

Each year, about 64 million Americans - one-fourth of the adult population - are invited to volunteer. For many, volunteerism is a source of great joy and satisfaction. In fact, the National Institutes of Health has found improved mental and physical health in folks who volunteer. April is National Volunteer Month, and nonprofit organizations across the US are celebrating their volunteers and asking more people to get involved with their causes. If you’ve found volunteering less joyful than you’d hoped, or even just an obligation, I’d like to have a word with you this month.

The Greater Sum Is Turning Four!

Four years ago, I could never have predicted that we’d have 65 deserving nonprofits growing today in sustainability and innovation through our incubator. Three years ago, I wouldn’t have guessed we’d have awarded $375,000 to deserving nonprofits by mid-2021. Two years ago, I couldn’t have known that our volunteer ranks would continue to swell, helping so many altruistic people contribute to world-changing nonprofit movements. And one year ago, as the pandemic raged, I would never have guessed that the forced migration to virtual competition pitch and incubation would push us to unimaginable tenfold growth in our first four years.

Going Virtual: NonProfit Events Redefined for COVID-19

Connecting with donors and offering them a compelling experience for their contribution is essential to all nonprofit organizations. That’s why EVENTS have dominated fundraising for 85% of nonprofits. But fundraising events are more than just the donations. They’re about building relationships for your nonprofit and its cause. More important than the amount of money you raise in a single day are the long-term donations, awareness, and loyalty you develop for your nonprofit.

So how do you continue to build these relationships during a crisis when all events are cancelled?
