The Social Enterprise Program is empowering 8 local nonprofits to expand their revenue streams by selling services or products that align with their mission. These nonprofits developed detailed business plans, and last week, potential donors had the opportunity to hear their pitch to garner funds for their startup capital needs. In support of these ventures, the Foundation has launched a challenge, matching dollar for dollar, up to 50 percent of each organization’s goal, not to exceed $30,000. This matching challenge runs through April 24! The Social Enterprise Accelerator is done in partnership with No Margin, No Mission, a national consulting firm dedicated to helping nonprofits increase their earned income and entrepreneurial capacity. The first two groups of nonprofits to complete the program have generated nearly $2 million of earned income to support their missions! #SocialEnterprise #Nonprofits #RevenueStreams #Fundraising #MatchingChallenge #CommunityImpact

Excited to share how things have been going at KarmaSuite! We know something that most people don’t. Nonprofits make up $2.6T of US GDP (for reference, Retail is $1.5T) and they are silently suffering in pain which can be solved through technology. We’ve been live for ~4 months and in that timeframe we’ve seen incredible growth. Today, we manage $155M of grants on our platform. With KarmaSuite, nonprofits are able to maximize the impact of every $ donated, stay compliant with grant restrictions, automate manual tasks, and effectively allocate resources. Grateful for our customers, employees, advisors, and investors for believing in our mission to forever change how nonprofits operate. If you are a forward-thinking nonprofit who wants to maximize impact through technology, KarmaSuite is for you! #nonprofit #nonprofits #accounting #startups #entrepreneurship #innovation

💡 Fundnation uses WigWag API to enable seamless donations 💡 🚨 Many non-profit organisations experience the same challenge: ⏳ Fundraising and its associated admin can take valuable time and resources away from the mission of the NPO itself. 🚀 Looking to help donors and NPOs through one seamless journey, Fundnation chose to work with WigWag as a reliable payments partner that could enhance the donation experience. #nonprofit #innovation #technology #startups #socialentrepreneurship #entrepreneurship

Build unicorns, not charities. Nat Ware - Rhodes Scholar, multiple master’s degrees, serial founder of non-profits - thought that human capital could be unleashed through charities. I think we all want to make an impact and change lives. BUT, later he concluded he was wrong and built a unicorn instead. Through this journey, Nat founded Forte, a wildly innovative approach that allows institutions of all kinds - governments, foundations, investors - to INVEST in human capital. This is social entrepreneurship at it's best. Impact, and profit. --- Don P.S. If you like AR/VR, you'll love my weekly newsletter (free, duh).
