March 4th and do something! 🍩

Nonprofit Insider: March 4, 2021

March 4th is March Forth and Do Something Day. Observers are encouraged to do something new that enriches their own lives or someone else's. Will you...

Take the first step toward Board service?

Become a Big Brother or Big Sister?

Buy a goat for someone you've never met?

Or maybe you'll enrich your stomach with an XL doughnut.

Because you can't do much enriching if you're hungry!

No matter how you choose to celebrate—march forth and do something!

Programming Highlight: The Fundraising Solutions Room with Emma Kieran of Pilot Peak Consulting

Recent waves of crisis have disrupted society in ways that most of us have never experienced. Many of your organizations have faced changes in the giving behaviors and charitable activities of your donors, the need to alter service delivery, and a shift in priorities. Your mission and path to address these changes is often unique, however you likely face the same nonprofit challenges as other organizations — both internally and externally.

Based on the "Escape Room" concept, this session brings attendees together to utilize their collective expertise to solve shared problems.
