Care For Friends’ Post

As the end of the year approaches, we’re taking a moment to reflect. For this month’s newsletter, we’re sharing words of wisdom directly from a few of our grant partners, in the form of two short videos showcasing their answers to our beloved interview question, “what is your guiding principle or North Star?”. Both videos capture the essence of our partners’ work – what they’ve accomplished and the future they aspire to build. For us, they’ve instilled a renewed sense of hope. We’re keen they will do the same for you. Here is a teaser from Part II, featuring Health Care For All Massachusetts. The full video delves into the heart of healthcare advocacy, featuring several Rx partners who work diligently for equitable, affordable, and high-quality healthcare across the United States. Collectively, their narratives underscore the shared belief that everyone, regardless of background or circumstance, should have access to healthcare that meets their needs when, where, and how they need it.

It is no secret the business of health care is experiencing one of its most tumultuous times in history. There is no shortage of reports on the challenging financial health care marketplace. This creates complexities for the C-Suite, challenging them to successfully operate and navigate through the tumult while also staying true to their organizations’ missions, values and visions. In times of uncertainty and financial challenges, campaigns are a crucial lifeline for organizations seeking to sustain their missions and serve their communities’ health needs. These times also create challenges in building and launching large-scale philanthropy efforts. Accordant’s Wave Campaign™ model was developed during less turbulent times; yet, has the adaptability, innovation and momentum generation needed to navigate stormy weather. This model is case-driven, clinician-partnered, organization-aligned and passion-fueled to meet and exceed donor needs. Wave campaigning is structured to ensure sustained philanthropy.

In the complex world of health care philanthropy, simplicity and linear timelines are rare. With limited resources and budgets, some organizations shy away from focusing energy and resources around advancing a grateful engagement strategy while also trying to campaign, but this must be overcome. The benefits of employing a strategy that combines campaigning and grateful engagement in a coordinated approach can lead to remarkable success in supporting the community. By launching wave campaigns and investing in grateful engagement at the same time, we create a catalyst for philanthropy that surpasses what either strategy can achieve alone.
