As a seasoned fundraiser with extensive experience in philanthropy, I would like to emphasize the critical lessons from the recent setbacks at FAMU, as discussed by Marybeth Gasman. Due diligence in philanthropy isn’t just a procedural step; it’s a cornerstone of sustainable and ethical fundraising. It’s essential to rigorously vet donors and understand their motivations to align their interests with the core values and mission of the institution. This approach safeguards the organization’s integrity and ensures that the philanthropic relationships we build are transparent and mutually beneficial. As we navigate these complex dynamics, we must remain vigilant in our commitment to due diligence to uphold the trust placed in us by our community and stakeholders. This article is a potent reminder of the vigilance required in all philanthropic engagements.

According to the Giving USA Foundation, $557 billion in charitable giving took place in the USA in 2023. Individual donors make up the largest percentage (67%) of overall charitable giving. Building & maintaining meaningful relationships with individuals makes the largest impact on the philanthropic success of any non-profit organization. Are you creating & maintaining deep, lasting relationships with your constituents? Need a donor management platform that can help you optimize engagement? Want better support?

What does being 'Deeply Connected' mean to you? "Being deeply connected creates a reality of safety and belonging." - Jacquelyn, Middle School Mentor That's what we are doing with our mentees. Creating a space of safety and belonging so they can have the right resources needed to develop into the best decision-makers they can be. People who are deeply connected to others and their families, their communities, and also to Jesus. Just like we want to be deeply connected to our mentees-- we want to be deeply connected to you! Our Year End Campaign goal is to raise $40,000 before 12/31, which includes a donation match from various church and individual partners.
