🚣 Are you in this boat with me? I came back from celebrating the holidays with my family, and now I feel like I'm trekking through mountains of paused projects, trying to figure out which order to pick them back up again.

Jenni’s Favorite Resources for Nonprofits This Week

  • Little Green Light's fundraising resources — LGL is my favorite donor management system (or CRM) for nonprofits, and they have a whole free library of fundraising resources for you. Following year-end fundraising season, might I suggest downloading their free "Guide to Acknowledging Gifts" so you can retain all your donors in 2022?

  • Instrumentl's grant research platform — Instrumentl is my favorite grant research and management platform because their algorithm sorts through foundations' history of giving to recommend best-fit grants for your nonprofit. Sign up with code JENNI100 to get $100 off your first month!

  • Stock Donator — Did you receive any gifts of stock last year? Did you ask for any gifts of stock last year? Stock Donator put together this free Guide to Soliciting Stocks for my listeners to help you learn more about the easy solicitations process.
