The benefits of conducting feasibility studies run well beyond establishing the viability of your capital campaign. They have a special way of generating interest and excitement and of capturing important data. You never know what they will produce, but when correctly run, they almost always open unexpected doors. #nonprofitfundraising #nonprofitcapitalcampaign #capitalcampaign #capitalcampaignconsultant

Giving USA 2024 recently released the estimated figures for 2023 which found that while giving was slightly up for 2023 in current giving, those dollars did not stretch as far when adjusted for inflation. Another broadly followed Report on Giving is the Fundraising Effectiveness Project, FEP, which found similar results for 2023. The FEP for the first quarter of 2024 is out and the dollars are up for the beginning of 2024. But there are challenges in donor acquisition and retention. The first quarter growth was driven by larger gifts, who have become even more important in recent years. The attached article is well worth a review by those who are interested in what is happening in the World of Philanthropy. #philanthropy #fundraising

We 💯 appreciate our customers that attend a Smart Energy Decisions forum and it shows in everything we do: ✅ Walk you through the forum through an onboarding call, so you fully understand what we do. Our forums are unconventional! ✅ Deliver RELEVANT content based on industry peers current challenges and goals - we don't guess at what we think you need to hear. We take it straight from our registered attendees feedback and develop the content you need for your current challenges. ✅ We make it easy for you to get there (unless there is an unprecedented weather problem 😜 for those that attended REF this past June - even then, we make it work). We book your air travel, arrange ground transfers in the host city and book your hotel accommodations. We do this so you can rest easy knowing we have you covered. ✅ Cross industry relationships! Nothing compares to learning from your peers and like minded people in a different industry segment - we bring them all: commercial, industrial, manufacturing, cities/muni's, healthcare, higher education/K-12, technology. Everyone is on a different journey and the knowledge shared is one of the biggest benefits of attending. ✅ Introduce you and help you coordinate 1:1 meetings with subject matter experts who can help you move your projects along at an accelerated pace. No one does what we do in this space. Why? Because it's hard. We do it because your success is our business. Be this guy this September 👇

Thank you to Wynn Hotel Las Vegas for your support of Desert Research Institute's AWE+ 2024 Summit. As more than 90 major wildfires burn across the U.S. and Canada amid another summer heat wave, DRI is holding open the registration window for our upcoming summit entitled Wildfire Recovery and Resilience: Working Across Silos to Drive Solutions.   The event will be held at Encore in Las Vegas on Aug. 21-22 and will mark the launch of DRI’s new global initiative, #AWE+, a call for accelerating and sustaining community resilience in the face of a growing number of catastrophic environmental events. At the heart of the initiative lies a sobering fact: Wildfires are increasing in number, size, and intensity at an alarming rate, and at-risk communities are not prepared.   The summit’s slate of researchers, wildfire management experts, social scientists, and leaders from the public and private sectors will share subject matter knowledge, identify workarounds for barriers to progress, and collaborate in the creation of achievable action plans summit delegates can immediately begin to implement in their communities. Register now below. #SupportDRI #DiscoverDRI

According to an April survey, meeting planners are troubled by escalating costs, but remain optimistic about growing attendance in the coming years. “There are a lot more millennials and Gen Z going to conferences now,” said Future Partners president and CEO Erin Francis-Cummings. “Meeting planners need to cater to groups that are different from attendees of the past and the Baby Boomer generation. But millennials and gen Zs are very digital generations—they might think it’s odd that there wasn’t a hybrid meeting option.” Approximately 64 percent of planners say they expect attendance to increase at their live events in the next three years—a 16 percent increase over last year’s survey.
