You'll leave with clear, manageable starting points for turning impact data into:
✔ Stronger proposals
✔ More confident donor conversations
✔ A smarter fundraising strategy

There's still time to save your spot:

Nonprofits are facing growing pressure to prove impact, inspire donor confidence, and make every dollar count.

Good intentions don't create systems change. Infrastructure does.

If your collective impact initiative has willing partners but needs stronger coordination, shared measurement, and a clear path from planning to results, a dedicated backbone partner could be the missing piece.

MRC's Collective Impact Backbone Partner services handle the infrastructure so your partners can focus on the mission.

Yesterday was such a good day! 🙌 For The Big Table®, we got to spend the morning talking with nonprofit leaders about how data can help them make an even bigger difference in their communities.

In Powell, we hosted Leadership + Data = Impact alongside Mollard Consulting, LLC and SureImpact. Over at Main Library, our CEO Christy Farnbauch led the data and evaluation table at Better Together: A Nonprofit Solutions Exchange.

Does this sound familiar?

"Our impact data is scattered. Fundraising conversations feel disconnected from what we actually accomplish. And grant reports? Those take forever and don't really help us tell our story."

If your nonprofit is juggling impact data without knowing how to use it for fundraising, this conversation is for you.

Christy Farnbauch and Lisa Rovner will walk you through how to take the data you already have to build stronger proposals, deepen donor relationships, and supercharge your fundraising strategy.

What refusal have you been postponing? Your data might already have the answer.

Our CEO, Christy Farnbauch, shares how an impact measurement framework gives leaders a shared language for deciding what matters most, so a "no" feels less like a gut call and more like a confident, mission-centered decision.

She also tells the story of her mentor, Donn Vickers, and the book that changed how she thinks about saying yes.

Your nonprofit is impacting lives and circumstances. However, you might not be collecting the right data to communicate your impact and value. Most small and mid-sized organizations collect data for grant reports and move on. But what if that same data could strengthen your donor conversations, build a stronger case for support, and show funders exactly what their investment makes possible?

Join Christy Farnbauch (MRC) and Lisa Rovner (LKR Strategies) for a practical webinar on turning the data you already have into a fundraising strategy that works.

You'll learn clear, manageable starting points and actionable next steps. Register here: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/UkrmVpKwQImNmpK3D6LZRw
