I had a wonderful time attending last night's Nourish fundraiser for The Nashville Food Project! I have always believed in food's amazing ability to create community -- everyone has to eat! The Nashville Food Project's dedication to growing, cooking, and sharing nourishing food to combat local food insecurity is truly inspiring. I'm proud to support their mission and encourage everyone to learn more about their impactful work. #Nashville #GrowCookShare #FoodSystems #eatlocal #Nonprofits #NonprofitSuccess #CommunityGardens #CommunitySupport #FoodInsecurity #Nourish2024

New generations are generous in different ways. Non-profit organizations should be ready to engage in new ways with the next generation of donors. Here are a few ideas… > Next gen employers increasingly offer charitable donation matching programs to encouraging employee civic engagement. > Your social media network is now your donor network. Make sure there’s an easy way to give via your social media accounts to minimize the barrier to entry for followers to become donors. > Millennials find monthly giving practices meaningful and much easier (logistically and on their wallets) than single or annual gifts.

“Nonprofit is a tax status, not a business plan.” Nonprofits supplement, if not wholly serve as, essential social service providers. To drive the most impact, nonprofits must operate with a sustainable, revenue-generating model. While some may feel uneasy about applying traditional “for-profit” business models to philanthropic organizations, the reality is that nonprofits have a DOUBLE bottom line. First, they need revenue to operate — keeping the lights on, securing funding, etc. Second, they must create a social benefit. At M Street Advisors, we support the do-gooders of the world, allowing them to focus on their cause. We specialize in revenue generation, donor management, back-office fundraising support, and interim staffing, ensuring nonprofits can sustain their operations and amplify their mission. Let Parker and M Street Advisors handle the operational challenges, so you can continue to bring your optimism, ingenuity, and kindness to the world. #Nonprofits #SocialImpact #RevenueGeneration #Fundraising #MStreetAdvisors #DonorManagement #SocialEnterprise #NonprofitLeadership #NonprofitSuccess #SustainableNonprofits #SocialGood #ImpactDriven #NonprofitSupport #OperationalExcellence #FundraisingSolutions #NonprofitStrategy #MissionDriven #CapacityBuilding #NonprofitGrowth
