Make plans to attend TWISTED PINK INC's 10th annual gala on July 12! Our own Jeff Ashley is proud to serve on the board of this organization that provides support, resources, and programming for people experiencing the impacts of breast cancer.

Yesterday, we attended the public launch of The Library Foundation's capital campaign, "One Library, One Louisville," supporting the Louisville Free Public Library. The event included the announcement of a $1.5 million community matching grant from the James Graham Brown Foundation. We are thrilled to partner with The Library Foundation on this exciting campaign that will transform access to the library system across our community!

It's no secret that development professionals tend not to stay with an organization for very long (of course, there are always exceptions!). Without a doubt, they can be challenging positions. But now and then, an expert fundraiser finds a nonprofit with the right culture, and it's a good match all around - which is beneficial for the employee's career AND the likelihood of fundraising success for the organization. Join our own Lisa Betson Resnik and our friend Jackie Keating for this eye-opening session on creating an organization where employees want to stay and grow in their roles. #professionaldevelopment #fundraising #nonprofitculture

It was an exciting day for our leadership team earlier this week when we visited the new Goodwill Industries of Kentucky Opportunity Center in West Louisville. This one-stop shop is a game changer for people seeking a path toward employment and a hand up in life. It's also an inspiring example of collaboration in action; Volunteers of America Mid-States offers housing support, health resources, veteran services, recovery treatment and more on-site, making it easier than ever for job seekers to access everything they need in one central location. (Nonprofits, take note: Meeting spaces are available at no cost!)

One of the things we're most proud of is our commitment to open mindedness and hearing different perspectives. These days, it's more important than ever as we all work to find common ground - and for us, use it as the foundation for helping our client partners create meaningful impact. We believe every perspective is valuable and uniquely one's own based on lived experience. Our team member Larissa Reece was recently asked to participate in College Bowl by Divided We Fall, a nonprofit, nonpartisan news publication. In this written debate, Larissa shares her perspective on the current state of philanthropy in higher education. Please enjoy this thoughtful, civil discourse!

Douglas Scott represented us today at Charitable Gift Planners of Kentuckiana's annual conference. This is a great group of development professionals; they were even named 2023 Council of the Year!

We are thrilled to welcome Douglas Scott and Shane Stuber to our leadership team! Doug joins us as VP of Fundraising Solutions and Grants, and Shane is VP of Talent and Leadership. We're grateful to add their years of expertise to our roster of seasoned nonprofit professionals. Learn more about their roles and join us in congratulating them! 👏
