Every day, it seems we see yet another sign of our democracy in decline. The ongoing erosion of democratic norms and institutions disproportionately harms BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and people of color) and immigrant communities, who are underrepresented at the polls and in the halls of power. In the face of extremist violence and escalating threats, it can be difficult, if not overwhelming, to contemplate what we as funders can do to protect and sustain American democracy.

It’s summer but teachers are still hard at work creating lesson plans for the next school year. It just makes sense. Something else that makes perfect sense is the pairing foundations with education.

Data transforms nonprofit marketing and fundraising strategies; by incorporating real supporter information, you can personalize your campaigns and build genuine relationships with your donors. However, when your data is isolated in different systems, it can be difficult to generate useful insights. These isolated systems are called data silos, and they can prevent your team from unlocking key trends among your supporter base—limiting your outreach progress.
Wondering how to effectively request donations for your nonprofit on Facebook?

For nonprofits in close-knit communities, community-centric fundraising (CCF) may be a more effective fundraising approach than other methods of fundraising.

Dear fellow research enthusiasts, As I dive deeper into my summer research journey, I find it important to look back on the surprises and problems I’ve faced.

Already, I have been surprised by how the results of my research have begun to guide changes to the form of my project. Since my last blog post, I have spent the most time developing a small program that generates frame looms for weaving that have varying, random characteristics, which may end up becoming the focus of my finalized works. I have become increasingly interested in understanding an interplay between pattern and randomness as the force that shapes all systems.
