Action Alert! This week, the US House of Representatives is expected to once again consider the” Stop Terror-Financing & Tax Penalties on American Hostages Act” (HR 9495), which targets relief for hostages of terrorists while ostensibly strengthening tools to curb terrorism financing. Sounds like a nice idea, right? Hold the phone. In reality, HR 9495 would give the US Treasury Secretary nearly unfettered power to revoke the tax-exempt status of charitable nonprofits. Yep. A section of the legislation would allow the government to designate ANY nonprofit as a "terrorist supporting organization", then require that organization to prove itself innocent. You read that right. There are already mechanisms to prevent nonprofits from funding terrorism and this bill would duplicate them in a manner that is certainly subject to abuse. Please use this Independent Sector tool to call your legislators today and urge them to vote no on HR 9495.

Proud of our Chief ChangeMaker LAURA HUTH-RHOADES ' role in the narrative grantwriting for this important Volo Internet + Tech project to bring high-speed fiber internet to residents, farmers, and businesses across rural Champaign County Illinois. She doesn't write grants often, but when she does, she nails it, helping to leverage $13M in funds to transform the way that rural residents can live, farm, and do business. Said Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity Office of Broadband officials of the grant: "This is the best grant narrative I believe we have ever seen." Real quote.

Oh, how often we've seen this! A real dream, rooted in passion and cause -- to launch your own nonprofit! It'll be easy, they said. It'll be fun, they said. Not so fast, we said, including our colleague Kim Stewart at Athena Coaching & Consulting . There's a lot to consider before heading down the founder's path. If you're thinking about starting a nonprofit, Kim's advice here is spot on and a must-read.

"We could raise DOZENS and DOZENS of dollars! So much so, that it MIGHT pay for a single hourly wage of our intern who spent at least 12 hours on promoting this event on our social media! It MIGHT pay for 17 copies of the poster we printed at Kinkos..." If your nonprofit is doing this, please 1) just STOP, and 2) read this hilarious (but very serious) explanation why from our fellow do gooder Patrick Kirby at Do Good Better Consulting .

“That’s the way we’ve always done it.” Stuck in time-worn paths that bring the comfortable, but not always results, TTWWADI (“Tah-Wah-Dee” – go ahead, say it!) can be a dangerous stuck-place for nonprofits, limiting their visibility and creating stagnated fundraising. SOUTH COUNTY COMMUNITY SERVICES brought on do good Consulting 's LAURA HUTH-RHOADES to fight TTWWADI…and won! How we slayed TTWWADI and other exciting nonprofit news: https://bit.ly/3RAtKUU

TRUE STORY ALERT! Young Kelvin approached a man he thought was homeless with a dollar in his hand. What happened next is remarkable. While his act earned him a shopping spree, Kelvin said that's definitely not what he wanted to get for his dollar. What DID he get? "Joy, because I helped someone," the 9-year-old says. "Give something away, and you feel like you've got a lot of things from it." <3 , right?

Happy May, do gooders! Hot off the e-presses is another DOING GOOD issue loaded with incredible resources for nonprofits like yours! All free to you to soak up: An inspiring fundraising success story, a needling Q&A, a creative happy birthday card, and temporary tattoos are among the fun and engaging items for this month.

Invest a little, raise a lot. That was the lesson learned by Colleen Walters, Executive Director of LAKESHORE LITTLE PEOPLES PLACE INC . The director of the Christian nonprofit childcare center based in Holland, Michigan needed to diversity their fundraising. She turned to do good Consulting 's Chief ChangeMaker, LAURA HUTH-RHOADES . Laura guided Colleen and her team through campaign needs and was able to spin gold from straw for them. The campaign exceeded its goal by a whopping 750% and provided the small nonprofit with a stunning return on their investment in Laura's time and talent of over 1,800%.

The 'Best Practices Giving Gods' recommend that to retain your donors and supporters, as many as 12 touchpoints of some type in one year. This could be in your enewsletter, on your website, and certainly should come in emailed and mailed thank you letters. Today, do good Consulting 's Chief ChangeMaker, LAURA HUTH-RHOADES , got a rare, but wonderful one: a hand-signed, hand-addressed birthday postcard from the YMCA of the University of Illinois . There's no ask, not even a QR. Just a simple cheery note with real signatures, a real stamp, and a personal and creative touch throughout. What would YOUR donors think if they got something like this in the mail on their birthday or anniversary? Or in recognition of another special event, like a new addition to the family? Bet it would warm their heart, elevate your group's position on their giving list, and make your cause even more memorable! How can your organization find and use information in a way that will make your donors' hearts sing like mine did today upon receiving this?
