I'm proud to serve on the Leadership Institute of the National Association of Charitable Gift Planners. At a recent meeting there was extensive discussion about the hundreds of small colleges and thousands of nonprofits that will go out of business in the current environment. It then turned around to a robust discussion…

@ColbyFetterhoff , you picked a great organization! Welcome.

Glad to see so much involvement!

Fact. An organization will be more successful in securing substantial support if it moves beyond checkbook philanthropy and educates donors about giving from their appreciated assets.

We have not yet had a gift of crypto, but are prepared to do so through Dechomai Foundation. This was started by a trusted colleague Bryan Clontz, the president and founder of Charitable Solutions, LLC. He is one of the thought leaders in the realm of noncash gifts. In fact, he was one of the first people to become a…

@SidAnderson I'm a fan of a good DOCG Barolo. I also like a Tempranillo blended with some other grapes to make it more full bodied. I'm also a fan of Penfolds Shiraz. Wine makes life better 😊

Welcome @FaithMcDaniel Kent

That is indeed a lot to think about @kathleensayce . Perhaps we should all be thinking along those lines.
-
Wow, what in interesting scenario you present. Let's hope you never have to face that @kathleensayce , but better to be prepared for the what if. I'll be intrigued to follow this to see what suggestions pop up. If your town and board are all gone, the legal entity of your organization still exists. it strikes me that your…

At the meetings they hear from some content expert on a program our foundation is funding. Most of our advisors are generous supporters of…

@SharonTillman a national board I served on used OnBoard. it was a great portal to share information, documents, calendars, etc. There was lots of built in security. For example, only some people were given permission to see certain things,. There were folders set up for each committee. It made our board meetings much…

Salted caramel and lavender honey from Creole Creamery in New Orleans.

We have a mission moment at the beginning of each board meeting. A content expert will talk about a specific program our foundation is funding. This has been well received.
