It's time for another Webinar Wednesday! As we head into the year-end fundraising season, this Wednesday, September 30th, at 1:00 PM ET, National Preservation Partners Network is delighted to be hosting The Compass Group's Rob Bull for "Fundraising 101: Engineering the Environment for Philanthropy to Thrive".

Strong fundraising programs are not built by chasing the next big gift or relying on one-off wins. They are built by putting the right elements in place and strengthening them over time. Through more than 30 years of work with nonprofits across the country, The Compass Group has identified four predictive indicators that consistently distinguish organizations positioned to raise more money and maintain momentum. Together, they offer a practical way to understand what drives results and make fundraising easier.

Join Compass President and CEO Rob Bull for an interactive webinar introducing a clear framework for long-term success. Participants will explore the four indicators, see how they reinforce one another, and gain actionable guidance for sharpening strategy, building capacity, and using limited time and resources more effectively.

As always, the webinar is free for members with code NPPNMEMBER and $20 for the public.

Members of Congress on both sides of the aisle are speaking up on proposed changes to Section 106 regulations. The time to ask your congressperson to sign on to the letter currently being circulated is now!

Across the aisle. Across chambers. Congress is weighing in on Section 106.

A bipartisan, bicameral group of Congressmembers is urging ACHP to reconsider its proposed overhaul of the Section 106 regulations, emphasizing that reforms should improve efficiency and predictability without dismantling the collaborative consultation framework Congress established.
