Choosing to collaborate rather than build everything yourself is one of the most powerful moves a nonprofit can make to expand its impact.

Marcia shares what she learned when she merged her foundation into a larger organization, choosing partnership as a way to better serve her community.

Behind every number is a story

On a quiet drive home from the beach, Becky Bumgardner's mother turned to her and said, "That was my last trip."

Her only request had been simple: to feel the ocean on her feet one more time. Those words have stuck with Becky, serving as a powerful reminder of what really motivates generosity.

As nonprofit leaders, we get busy with the daily demands of running an organization. Naturally, we focus on budgets, campaigns and administrative tasks, almost forgetting that people don't give just because we need money. They give to make human moments possible.

If you need a reminder of why we do this work, take a few minutes to read Becky's moving reflection.
