No better place to be on a rainy afternoon than at Pegasus Park in deep connecting conversations. Discussing how we serve our city and its citizens through meaningful grassroots, boots-on-the-ground efforts that are funded, leaders accountable, results measured and data available to the public, and if successful-then scalable —was truly refreshing. New pathways across the city in public-private partnerships are needed as nonprofit organizations adjust to major philanthropic shakeups, locally. It’s impacting direct services. We must break through barriers to get to the needy in real time, as it’s still a challenge that we must overcome. How can we get better at this? We do so many things well and in collaboration. #getbacktograssroots #askus #nonprofitleaders #collectiveknowledge #realconversations

Read about the ✨nine recommendations✨ that the report offers that call leaders across the nonprofit, grantmaker, business and policy sectors to take action to protect and promote the future of generosity.

Nonprofit leaders, often our most pressing challenges lie beneath the surface. Just as the River Valley nonprofit did when they reopened a new support services location, we too must identify and address our community's unmet needs. Whether it's offering financial assistance, educational resources, or emotional support, our work is vital. But, it's more than just providing funds or resources—it's about engaging and establishing a meaningful presence within our community. Remember, the strength of our nonprofits lies in our networks and strategic partnerships. The more connected we are, the greater impact we can make. Plus, these connections can attract donors and volunteers who share our mission. What steps will you take today to deepen your community engagement?
