The Big Payback Kickoff is filling up fast
Help your organization prepare for The Big Payback 2018 by sending a representative to our Kickoff Training on Thursday, February 8 at The Woman's Club in Green Hills.
Topics for this training include:
  • a demo of new features
  • a discussion on ways to engage your donors (including matching funds!)
  • tips for marketing your campaign.
As always, we will encourage attendees to interact with each other in hopes of learning from each other as well. This day is a collaborative effort!
Due to limited space, only one person per organization can register for this year's training.  We will offer a viewing of the training online. Additionally, we will host several more smaller training sessions following the kickoff. The smaller trainings will take place in various counties and feature more of a roundtable discussion format.
There will be two training sessions offered, and both will present the same content.

9:30 a.m. - noon (check in at 9:00 a.m.)
Register for the Morning Session
1:00 p.m. - 3:30 p.m. (check in at 12:30 p.m.)
Register for the Afternoon Session

Let us know about your Capital Campaign
Each spring, we release a Capital Campaign Report to Middle Tennessee funders, which provides information about current and anticipated capital campaigns.

The data from this important resource comes from your responses to the annual Capital Campaign Survey.
This short survey should take no more than five minutes to complete. Even if your organization is not currently planning a capital campaign, please respond to ensure the most accurate data possible. Submit only one response per nonprofit organization.

Each organization completing the survey will be entered to win a $50 grant from The Community Foundation.

The deadline to complete the survey is Tuesday, February 27. 
Complete the Survey

A new year means there's new information to upload to your GivingMatters.com profile!

As always, if you need any assistance, our team is here to help. Profiles beginning with a number or A-L should contact Nicole Rose. Those beginning with M-Z can reach out to Kathryn Bennett.
