The Nonprofit Insider: April 4, 2019
The Nonprofit Partnership's Comedy Campaign
April is National Humor Month!

Nonprofit professionals often work very hard and in tough fields – if anyone deserves (ahem, *needs*) a laugh, it’s our nonprofit friends! That’s why we decided it’s the perfect time for a Comedy Campaign. Please join us in soliciting some giggles from our friends and colleagues.

Submissions will be taken during the entire month of April. Please email your submission to NPP’s Ellen Kehl at ekehl@yournpp.org.

Criteria includes:
  • Content must be rated PG
  • Please include a GIF link or an image
  • Content must be related to the nonprofit field

Oh, and what would a Comedy Campaign be without prize opportunities? A panel of judges will scrutinize submissions and choose the one with the biggest laugh factor (extremely scientific, right?)! The winner will receive a $25 Amazon gift card for themselves and NPP will provide a $25 donation to their nonprofit of choice… win/chuckle/win! The winner will be announced May 1, 2019.
#CauseCookies - The Oasis Market
Are you familiar with The Nonprofit Partnership's #CauseCookies membership appreciation effort?

We consistently make a point to keep on top of the major happenings with our nonprofit members.

Recently, we had the pleasure of touring and learning more about the new Oasis Market. Have you been? It's a great space and program! Pictured above: Lewis M'Sadoques, Faith Kindig, and NPP's Adam Bratton. Click here to view more pictures in our Facebook album.

There's an opportunity to learn more about this member coming up! Please consider joining The Oasis Market for an open house on April 13 from 6:00 PM - 9:00 PM at 914 State St. as vendors and suppliers showcase what they have to offer.

Special thank you to Erie's Icing on the Lake for their lovely (and tasty) work on the acorn #CauseCookies!
Online Donation Investigation
April Results
Second Harvest Food Bank of NWPA was chosen and won the $25 donation for the month of April - congratulations! Through our investigation, the following positive highlights were discovered:
  • The donate button was prominent and easy to find. There were links to find ways to get involved in multiple spots on the website.
  • The donation page is mobile friendly.
  • The donation page is clear; there aren’t multiple links leading the donor away from the page
  • There are suggested, realistic giving tiers and a custom input option
  • There’s an option to make the gift monthly (plus quarterly and annually!)
  • The donation amounts are equated to an intended impact
  • The donation is made through a secure processor
  • The donor receives an email (thank you and payment details) automatically, post-donation
  • There are social-sharing buttons
Additional fun features:
  • There's a donor scroll where people can leave their name and a note
  • The donor can create an account where they're able to access their personal giving history
Deadlines on the Horizon
