The Nonprofit Hive’s Post

We all have things that matter to us. Families. Friends. Faith. Future Plans. And for nonprofiteers we also often have all of the above + a Mission that matters to us. We are working to build something bigger than ourselves, contributing towards lasting change in the world AND getting paid for it. (often not paid enough, but that's another post.) But talking about this work, nonprofit work, can be tough. Your friends and family might not get your "why". Your mission might seem pie in the sky or hard to believe in. So The Nonprofit Hive hopes members will find a person to share their missions with. Share about where they put their 9-5 time, possibly also their evenings and weekends. What are you excited to share in your Hive Chats nonprofit pro??? #networking #nonprofit #philanthropy #connection #community

We have never been more "connected." There has never been, in the history of humankind, the option to reach out and connect with another human being, almost anywhere in the world, at a moment's notice. And yet we are suffering from an epidemic of loneliness. More siloed than ever before; so paralyzed in the hustle culture to make time for connection. Connection may *technically* be a verb but it is also requires an ACTION. You see there is connection that is passive. "We are connected because we both work in nonprofit." And then there is connection that is active. "We connected through The Nonprofit Hive and talked about our work in nonprofit." One is going to give ALOT more feels and opportunities to build meaning than the other. So stop being passive and get active.

Jamese Ivy is the Director of Community Initiatives at United Way of Greater Charlotte. She is a community champion, a bridge builder and an empathetic leader. Jamese was born and raised in West Charlotte and has spend her whole career so far working in nonprofit. The through line that stitches together her professional and personal life is a passion and commitment to connecting community members with those in positions of power. Jamese believes that the best way to solve the challenges that plague our city, and transform our community, is to involve those most proximate to the issues. In this episode, we talked about trust-based philanthropy, which starts with building authentic relationships. We discussed why it's important to make the process of accessing capital less cumbersome for nonprofits and why funding grassroots agencies matters. She made a compelling case for why you should consider making unrestricted donations to nonprofits, trusting them to be great stewards of your funds. If any of this interests you, then this episode is for you.

🔒 Make a Will Month is Approaching! 🖋️ Nonprofits, now is the perfect time to engage with your donors about the importance of having a will. Here’s why: 1. Secure Their Legacy: Encourage donors to protect their family's future by creating a will. It ensures their wishes are honored and provides peace of mind. 2. Support Causes They Love: Inspire donors to leave a portion of their estate to your nonprofit. It’s a lasting way to contribute to a cause they care deeply about, leaving a legacy of impact. 💡 Tips for Nonprofits: Educate: Share resources on the benefits of having a will and the process of creating one. Inspire: Highlight stories of donors who have made a significant difference through legacy giving. Communicate: Reach out personally to discuss the impact of a legacy gift and how it supports your mission. Encouraging thoughtful and impactful legacy giving with letters/emails and posts this month! 🌟 #MakeAWIllMonth #LegacyGiving #Nonprofit #Philanthropy #EstatePlanning

I'm putting together a resource list for participants in Philanthropy Camp for Women for the purposes of researching nonprofit organizations, the nonprofit sector, and specific issue areas. I've got the big three research databases, plus Chronicle of Philanthropy, National Council of Nonprofits, Nonprofit Quarterly, Stanford Social Innovation Review so far. What would you add to this list? I know I'll never get everything, but wondering if there are some other big resources I'm missing. Thanks! #nonprofit #philanthropy #giving #resources
