Hello all, We plan to host a donor education event in the fall and are looking for topics and speaker ideas. We had three of these events pre-covid. The topics were ESG investing, how to engage the next generation/family philanthropy, and the importance of capacity-building support. We are open to any topics and speaker…
Mindful Philanthropy is seeking funders of all backgrounds and issue areas to complete this 3 minute survey on the current drivers and barriers to funding the well-being of our nations’ youth. After seeing our young people struggling to cope with the aftermath of the pandemic and rising school violence, we’re attempting to…
Do you ask permission from your fund creators if they want their fund 'promoted' in order to receive donations to the fund, or do you automatically make that an option for all funds?
Hi fellow community foundation folks! Would you be willing to share the admin fees for your funds, fund minimums, if you accept pass-thru funds or only endowments, and whether people need $ up front to open a fund? We are reassessing our fee policies and hearing from you would be hugely helpful. Thanks in advance!
Hi all, This is a follow up from the AdNet call last week to connect with those who said they used Foundant CSuite and wanted to connect to have further conversation around fund segmentation and stewardship tools within CSuite. I wasn't able to tag everyone, so will send this link within an email. Hopefully others in the…

Is any other Community Foundation using Classy? We have an affiliate fund that is thinking about using Classy for their specific fundraising (P2P and crowdfunding) and we'd appreciate the opportunity to talk to another CF using it. Thanks!
Can anyone share any information they have or sample fund agreements for their Field of Interest funds? We are wanting to fine tune our policies around these types of funds as well as update our fund agreement to align. Thank you in advance.
We are a state-wide community foundation and are frequently contacted by organizations and municipalities throughout the state who have funding needs and have questions about what opportunities our CF offers. In some cases, our community funds or grant programs can meet these needs, but many times we don't have a program…
Hello! Here at the South Sask Community Foundation are currently reviewing/revising our donor recognition policy and stewardship strategy. If you have a copy of either you would be willing to share, that would be greatly appreciated! Most curious to know how you segment donors for stewardship: by giving amounts, by type of…
Hi all, We're creating a webinar for our nonprofit agency funds to review the basics of the funds (if they're new to the org/org's board, or need a refresher), answer FAQs, and remind them of the nonprofit support services we offer. We also try to meet one on one with these nonprofits, but we know frequent turnover…
Our team really wants to focus on building awareness of our larger funds and showing the community what the fund is contributing to. We have decided that we are going to showcase these funds on social media platforms or create blog posts, but we want to document that within Foundant. Does anyone have any good ideas on what…
