This essential campaign runs through July 31, with a goal of $30,000. The day shelter serves over 350 guests daily, and last year, the kitchen team, led by Chef Chris McDermitt, prepared more than 103,000 meals.

“At the end of the day, it’s not about a single nonprofit. No one organization can fix an entire issue. It’s a collective, collaborative effort. Focusing solely on our piece means missing the chance for greater systemic change. This is why we chose the nonprofit sector—to create big change and big impact. To achieve this, we need to engage more, look each other in the eye, and discuss our actions.” – Lindsay Jordan, CEO & Founder, Write On Fundraising Join us in making a real difference together!

In philanthropy, intermediaries and fiscal sponsors are the crucial links connecting donor resources to overlooked causes and marginalized communities. They pool funds, provide support, and absorb risks, enabling grassroots groups to focus on their core mission. At the recent Human Rights Funders Network Festival, rich discussions shed new light on fiscal sponsorship. Here are some key insights: Shift Power by Embracing Risk: Large donors should take on more uncertainties, simplifying applications and providing unrestricted funding. Build Trust: Trust must flow both ways, ensuring intermediaries can effectively support grassroots groups. Promote Collaboration: Avoid competition by fostering partnerships and shared learning among intermediaries. Expand Risk Appetite: Donors should provide more flexible, multiyear funding.
