It’s summer! I hope you’ll get a chance to take a vacation or just some time off. It may be quieter at your nonprofit, or maybe it isn’t considering everything that’s going on, especially in the U.S. Either way, you don’t want to be too quiet and ignore your donors. Summer is a great time to do some relationship building. You should communicate with your donors at least once a month and that includes the summer months.

In San Diego, California, refugees displaced from Myanmar (formerly Burma), Somalia, Afghanistan, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, and other countries have resettled in Mid-City. Over the decades, they’ve transformed this once-blighted area into an urban village of small businesses, restaurants, and cultural spaces. Today, due to rising real estate prices, families who have resettled here—many after enduring war, persecution, and climate disasters—are finding themselves housing insecure and displaced ag

Nonprofits are under more pressure than ever to demonstrate financial accountability while continuing to expand their impact. Traditional budgeting models often fall short, reinforcing silos, limiting flexibility, and stalling growth.

Why Email Is Still the Most Powerful Tool for Mission-Driven Campaigns People check their inbox several times a day. It’s part of their routine — morning, between meetings, during downtime. That makes email one of the few channels that people return to regularly and on their own terms. Unlike a social media post that disappears in minutes, an email stays in place.

Many board members believe their role in fundraising is to open doors, approve budgets, or review campaign reports. All of that matters—but if that’s where their involvement ends, something vital is missing. Fundraising is not just strategic. It’s emotional. And if your board doesn’t understand the emotional journey of the donor—or their own internal resistance to asking—they’re likely to stay on the sidelines.

Every gift begins with a spark—a donor’s desire to make a difference. Across the country, Donor Advised Funds (DAFs) are filled with those sparks, waiting to be turned into action. These are not just numbers on a statement—they are untapped missions, unspoken hopes, and the fuel for change. For nonprofits, the opportunity is clear: by reaching out and inviting DAF donors to invest in your vision, you’re not just asking for support—you’re offering people a chance to bring their purpose to life.
