Greetings!
Welcome to February – a month dedicated to celebrating love, Black history, and heart health. It’s also a time when those New Year’s resolutions may be a distant memory as work, family, and life have taken us a bit off track. If you are looking to improve your financial wellbeing in 2023, consider joining Allegacy’s 12-Week Savings Challenge. To get started, sign up for weekly nudge emails. Then determine your savings goal and action plan for seeing it through. We’ll provide all the resources, tools, and encouragement you need to crush your savings goal by May 1st!
In January, Allegacy was inspired by HandsOn NWNC’s MLK Day of Service Read-In event (click here to view photos from this year's event!) to engage in a week of serving our community partners. Throughout the week, Allegacy teammates attended the MLK Prayer Breakfast hosted by the YMCA of Greater Charlotte, volunteered at Senior Services, Inc. and Second Harvest Food Bank of NWNC, and cleaned up trash along our adopted street at our Westbrook Plaza Drive headquarters. These acts of service were an inspirational reminder of the enduring legacy of Dr. King.
In addition to being a Supporting Partner, Allegacy has made a Civic Commitment Evolution to celebrate 15 years with HandsOn NWNC. Won’t you consider joining us to help HandsOn NWNC engage, equip, and inspire for many years to come? You can make a civic commitment evolution, like we did, or simply give $15 dollars in honor of their past 15 years of work, or $30, to propel them into their next 15 years. Our "evolution" was to proudly sponsor the January Nonprofit Essentials class, which highlighted the importance of engaging in mission-focused work within an asset-based and community-driven framework. Through our Allegacy Foundation, we are committed to supporting our community through philanthropic giving and volunteerism. We partner with local nonprofits to address food insecurity, education, and health and wellbeing. HandsOn NWNC’s GetConnected online volunteer matching tool is a wonderful resource that we use to engage employees in giving back to the community.
During this short month, let’s make every moment count!

2022-2023 Nonprofit Essentials:
Fund Development
|
|
Note--TWO LEVELS AVAILABLE!
Basics: Thursday, February 16, 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm
Advanced: Thursday, February 23, 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm
Location for Both Sessions: Senior Services, 2895 Shorefair Dr NW, multipurpose room (see map)
We've again split our sixth topic in the Nonprofit Essentials series into two different sessions, based on the experience of participants. The "Basics" course on February 16th is designed to meet the real-world needs and challenges nonprofit organizations face every day related to fundraising. The course is taught in an active learning style and includes case studies and a take-away project, making the learning experience both substantive and enjoyable. This session offers a complete overview of development functions, featuring the most current information and techniques, and will provide an overview of skills, strategies, and program components for individuals with zero to four years of fundraising experience. Particular emphasis will be dedicated to discussing how COVID-19 has impacted the work of nonprofit development offices and their ability to raise critical philanthropic support to meet an organization’s needs.
The "Advanced Fund Development" class on February 23rd will focus on current and prospective donor research strategies and techniques, securing the gift, and relationship development. Specifically, Michelle will walk you through how to: craft a case for support in order to communicate the rationale for supporting the organization’s mission, prepare donor-focused solicitation communications to facilitate informed gift decisions, initiate and strengthen relationships with constituents through systematic cultivation and stewardship plans designed to build trust in, and long-term commitment to, the organization, develop and implement a comprehensive communications plan to inform constituents about the organization’s mission, vision, values, financial and ethical practices, funding priorities, and gift opportunities. Prior to class, participants will be asked to share at least two samples from their organization of the following: case for support, direct mail appeal package, major gift proposal, stewardship and cultivation plan, communications plan, gift acceptance policy, newsletter/impact reports, annual report, your job description, volunteer and or board member job description. Please note: If you do not know about, or do not have the above examples readily available to share, you should probably take the Basics class instead.
Both sessions will be led by Michelle Speas who brings over 20 years’ experience in Japan, Africa and the United States to her executive leadership, including her current role as Vice President of Philanthropy and Public Relations and Executive Director of the Family Services Foundation. Family Services, one of the Triad’s largest nonprofit organizations and an anchor agency in Forsyth County, is committed to strengthening the safety, security, and well-being of women, children and families in our community. For the majority of her career, Michelle has worked as a development officer, directing annual, capital, and planned giving campaigns and spearheading communication and public relations efforts. She has been a Certified Fundraising Executive (CFRE) for over 15 years and served as the first Chief Executive Officer of one of NC’s largest private family foundations. She holds a Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree in history from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and a Master of Arts (MA) degree in from the University of Mississippi at Oxford. Mrs. Speas has been a member of the NC Triad Chapter of the Association of Fundraising Professionals since 1997. She is also a member of the NC Planned Giving Council and served on over a dozen Triad nonprofit boards.

Project Blueprint Board Leadership Training Applications Open 2.13.23! |
|
Our Project Blueprint Board Leadership Program is designed to prepare people of color to serve on local nonprofit boards and committees. For decades, nonprofit boards have not reflected the diversity of the communities they serve. According to the Annie E. Casey Foundation, approximately 60% of all nonprofits report serving Black, Indigenous, or People of Color (BIPOC,) yet 84% of board members identify as White and 27% of boards had no BIPOC leaders at all.
The goal of the program is to increase board diversity by providing a pool of qualified volunteer leaders who are equipped with the knowledge and skills needed to effectively serve on nonprofit boards or board committees. The curriculum closely follows the book, Ten Basic Responsibilities of Nonprofit Boards, published by BoardSource, a nationally recognized organization dedicated to increasing nonprofit board governance. The capstone of the program is a nonprofit speed dating event, designed to match participants with local board opportunities. Cohort participants will meet virtually one morning each week for six weeks, and will receive a stipend to help them implement a personalized action plan once the program concludes.
Look For a Dedicated Email Next Week!

Find Out What Makes or Breaks a New Nonprofit!
HandsOn has spent a lot of time over the past 15 years, and especially in the last two or three, working with individuals interested in starting new nonprofit organizations. Based on that work, we thought that this research paper, presented towards the end of 2022, might be of interest to many. The paper, “Diversity in Nonprofit Entrepreneurship,” looks at factors important to understanding the vitality, equity, and representation of the nonprofit sector. While individuals with lived experience in under-invested and overlooked communities understand their needs the best, structural inequalities leave them with the least access to the resources required to start and/or sustain nonprofits that best meet those needs--a dynamic that is at the heart of HandsOn's BUILD and Organizational Coaching programs.
This research paper – prepared for Independent Sector – raises an important question around how we can encourage the growth of strategies, ways, and tools to enable more people with lived experiences to start nonprofits that meet their communities’ needs for healthy and equitable places to live. While it is a 19 page paper, we promise that the Executive Summary--only TWO pages--is worth checking out!
