Listen into my conversation with Justin Showers, Chief Marketing Officer, and Tina Fisher, CEO, of Givevia.  Givevia is a no cost shopping platform that creates the opportunity for Nonprofit Organizations and supporters to connect remotely.  At Wells, CPA we believe that platforms like this will become necessary in the future to sustain the individual donor base of Nonprofit Organizations. 

William Poindexter III, Principal Financial Group, and I discuss some of the hidden values that a financial advisor can bring to a Nonprofit Organization.  I did not consider that there are some administrative functions that a financial advisor could fill in an Organization.  In addition, these are individuals that understand environmental risks well.  Nonprofit Organizations may want to consider addressing environmental risks in their planning models.

Tarra Nystrom, SMART Money Grant Writing, and I explore the science behind donors giving.  Tarra provides some valuable information about what you may want to know about your donors.  Also, she provides great examples of how to be prepared for the next crisis that will impact fundraising.

I was able to sit down with Sam Queeno, Director of Physical Security at AEP, and possibly the most engaged Board Member I know. Sam and I talk about what it means to be engaged as a Board Member and the PEO fundraising model. Then I get technical and talk about where to look for guidance when starting a nonprofit and what you should consider as you put the nonprofit structure in place.

I am blessed that Rye D'Orazio, Area Director of Fellowship of Christian Athletes, stopped by to share about the ministry.  I know you will be surprised to hear some of the areas that FCA is touching around you every day.  Then I have decided to give my opinion on if nonprofits should have financial statement audits.  Not everyone will agree with me but I am trying to balance fiscal accountability with mission/ministry work and time. My hope is that the topic creates some discussion within your management and Board.
