Our Members Are Winners!
by Cynthia Adams and Ellen Mowrer
How do you describe what GrantStation is, or why Membership is such a crucial tool for successful nonprofit organizations?
This is why I pose this question - even though I’ve had almost a decade here at GrantStation. When asked, my family still can’t describe GS Membership in 30 seconds or less. Now, it could be that they know too much about GrantStation, and share my enthusiasm for Membership, but I am guessing that they need a short, pithy answer.
Cindy: Let me start with the pithy answer: GrantStation helps organizations find the funds they need to do their good work. Now let me share with you a longer, perhaps more thoughtful, answer to your question: Why is Membership in GrantStation crucial for successful nonprofits?

Head Spinning About New Fundraising Terms and Phrases?

by Zubin Segal
If you are a fundraiser or need to generate revenue for your organization, you have no doubt heard a whirlwind of phrases, such as corporate social responsibility, sustainability, Triple P, conscious culture, responsibly sourced, impact investing, traceability and transparency, and the list goes on. If your head is spinning, relax! While the above terms sound flowery and important, rest assured they have strong roots in the established world of fundraising and nonprofits. To illustrate this point, we have selected three leaders in the social service sector to provide a phrase that reflects their approach to these new fundraising models.
