If there's anything that Elizabeth Abel has learned from working in the nonprofit space, it's that philanthropy plays a critical role in uplifting the most vulnerable communities.
But with the pandemic rampaging across the world, how are nonprofits even staying afloat?
I mean, aren't people barely getting by because of the current state of the global economy?
Well, some people might think that charitable institutions and nonprofit efforts have slowed down, but according to Elizabeth, the pandemic has only made the resolve of the givers and the helpers even stronger. In fact, it looks like there's no stopping the outpour of generosity from sponsors and donors, especially when they truly believe and trust a cause!
So, how can nonprofits assure donors that their money is creating positive change + become more effective advocates for social change and social justice?
Elizabeth says that BUILDING A STRONG FUNDRAISING TEAM & CULTURE, is a key factor in inspiring more people who were not initially drawn to philanthropic activities to take action and enable those already working in nonprofit to champion the cause without burning themselves out.
There's a lot to factor in when it comes to this, so join me and my amazing guest - Elizabeth Abel - as we discuss and understand the true essence behind philanthropy, the fundraising landscape during the pandemic, the importance of bridging the communication gap between the finance and fundraising teams, and what it really takes to build a strong fundraising team and culture.
This has been such a wonderful conversation and I'm sure you'll learn a lot, more than the fundraising tips, we also talk about the joy that comes with doing good for others. So, tune in and share it with your inner circle!
"I believe that nonprofits are addressing some of the most important social issues of our time. The gas in their engine is philanthropy and charitable gifts."
- Elizabeth Berni Abel
