We are far from normal. As much as we work to embrace the uncertainties of these times, let’s stay grounded in the certainties of these times.

Amidst the unprecedented impacts of the pandemic, countless programs and organizations are facing uncertainty and challenges. Intercollegiate athletics are no exception as colleges and universities try to determine next steps moving forward. BWF has the game plan to help succeed with athletics fundraising.

What can our arts and culture fundraisers do during this very difficult “intermission”? How do you keep your audience actively engaged with your organization when there are no shows or galas? BWF consultant Amy Lampi shines a spotlight on the importance of being courageous and creative during these unprecedented times.

Given the current, remote-only work environment for nonprofits, the focus on continuing meaningful work without the benefit of face-to-face engagement has become more important than ever.

During economic uncertainty, donor engagement is key. BWF offers strategies for engaging donors during COVID-19 and other times of crisis.

NGOs (non-governmental organizations) come in all shapes, sizes, and mission focus areas. In many instances, they play the role of global matchmaker—identifying areas where there is a need and matching donor passions to support these specific needs.

Our healthcare institutions are prioritizing all available resources to address immediate patient needs, expand research and clinical trial efforts for testing and treatment, and maintain a healthy workforce ready to serve our communities.

For any organization considering a major fundraising campaign, developing a strong case for support—“philanthropic agenda”—is critical to the campaign’s success. How do you sift through great ideas for the gems that get funded to advance the mission of an organization?

No organization, despite its best efforts and good intentions, can mitigate all risk associated with fundraising. But there are absolutely several things to consider and steps to take that will ensure you’re as prepared as possible should the worst scenario unfold.
