    Ripped from the Headlines: Is the Administration Weaponizing Grant Fraud?

    When money is involved, fraud is a possibility. It’s one of the reasons we have so many rules, regulations, and reporting requirements surrounding grant awards: to ensure the funding is spent as intended. And it should be spent as approved in your grant budget. But lately, it seems like this administration is weaponizing grant fraud, and in some cases, simply using it as an excuse to terminate grant programs. We’re sharing recent examples – ripped straight from the headlines.   JOIN THE FUNDRAISING HAYDAY COMMUNITY: Become a member of the Patreon   CHECK OUT TODAY’S SPONSOR: Encore Institute for Social Impact They partner with nonprofit organizations to secure funding, develop actionable strategies, strengthen capacity, and demonstrate results.

    Advocacy for Your Organization, Profession, and Self

    Many nonprofits don’t participate in advocacy for fear it will jeopardize their nonprofit states. The truth is, there is a big difference between lobbying and advocacy – and advocacy is allowed. For grant and fundraising professionals, advocating for your organization, your role at work, and yourself is important work.   JOIN THE FUNDRAISING HAYDAY COMMUNITY: Become a member of the Patreon   CHECK OUT TODAY’S SPONSOR: Encore Institute for Social Impact They partner with nonprofit organizations to secure funding, develop actionable strategies, strengthen capacity, and demonstrate results.

    Capacity Building: A Funder's Perspective

    It’s rare to find a funder fully invested in nonprofits - not just funding their work, but also investing in their growth and development. The Tracy Family Foundation is “growing a legacy of generosity to help communities thrive and families flourish.” They not only fund traditional capacity building training, but offer specific trainings and workshops for their grantees related to helping organizations grow their leadership, management, programs/strategies, financial health, and external evaluation abilities.   JOIN THE FUNDRAISING HAYDAY COMMUNITY: Become a member of the Patreon   CHECK OUT TODAY’S SPONSOR: GrantGuru Use discount code HAYDAY963 for 20% off your subscription   SHOW NOTES: Tracy Family Foundation (TFF)   TFF’s Capacity Building Programming     WHERE TO FIND OUR GUEST: Callie Niederhauser Program Manager, Youth & Communications Callie Niederhauser | LinkedIn   Sara Reuschel Program Manager, Capacity Building Sara Reuschel | LinkedIn
