Best-Kept Secret No More: Why Nonprofits Should Accept Stock Donations
Nonprofits, Strategy & Planning
"Let's start with some astounding numbers: More than half of all U.S. households own stock, and about 5 million stockholders have portfolios worth millions of dollars. For these individuals, a major gift such as $10,000 to a nonprofit would be a drop in the bucket. But this amounts to $50 billion of potential charitable giving from the top stockholders alone.
If you consider all stock owners, you could double the potential impact. So, with $100 billion of stock gifts at stake, it begs the question: why don't more nonprofits accept stock donations?
In this episode of the Go Beyond Fundraising podcast, we talk with Steve Latham, co-founder and CEO of DonateStock. Latham has been determined to make it easier for people to donate stock gifts for more than a decade."

How Charity Navigator Is Leveling the Nonprofit Playing Field
Nonprofits, Strategy & Planning
"In the highly competitive nonprofit world, your organization needs a way to show that you're a high-performing charity in your sector. Similarly, it can be hard for donors to find nonprofits that align with their values. Charity Navigator stands as a unique solution for both.
Charity Navigator is the nation's largest not-for-profit rating organization. For more than 20 years, the free website has rated charities based on their 990 tax form information. However, recent changes to the rating system are giving users a more holistic view of a charity and leveling the playing field for smaller nonprofits.
In this episode of Fundraising Today, we're talking with Laura Andes, Chief Program Officer for Charity Navigator, about the changes. We're also joined by Amy Warren, Associate Vice President of Product Solutions at Pursuant and Allegiance Group."
