It’s GM24! Day—now through 11:59:59 pm.
Many nonprofits have matching gifts live today, which means your donation may be doubled. If you can, please choose a nonprofit (or two…or 10!) to support and help strengthen our community today and in the future.

Although Give More 24! is an online giving marathon, some nonprofits and supporters host unique events and fun get-togethers to harness the excitement of this annual day of giving!

🚨 The Development Director Myth 🚨
When fundraising fails, it’s usually not the hire — it’s the system.

Most Development Directors are handed:
❌ No CRM
❌ No donor pipeline
❌ A disengaged board
❌ Unrealistic KPIs

…and then blamed when they “can’t bring in the money.”

This isn’t a talent gap. It’s a design flaw.

👉 Fix the system.
👉 Activate your board.
👉 Redefine capacity.

🚀 Stop Hiring for Positions. Start Solving Problems.

Hiring shouldn’t just be about filling roles; it should be about creating impact. We made an article on how shifting your mindset can transform the way you build your team.

🚀 One person can’t play every position — and they shouldn’t have to.
At PNWF, we believe fundraising is a team sport. Our Fractional Team model surrounds your nonprofit with the right experts, in the right lanes, all moving toward your mission — without burning out your staff or blowing up your budget.
🎯 More clarity.
📈 More results.
💡 More impact.
You don’t need a full-time team to get full-team results.
➡️ Watch the video to see how it works — and imagine what we could build together.

🚨 Nonprofits don’t fail at fundraising because they hire the wrong people.
They fail because they hire into a broken system.

At Pacific Northwest Fundraising, we’ve built something smarter:
The PNWF Model — a scaffolding system disguised as campaign support.
✅ We stabilize before scaling
✅ We raise money before hiring
✅ We build systems before burnout

It’s not just campaigns.

It’s a framework that de-risks growth, secures capacity funding, and clears the runway for your next Development Director to succeed.

This is what modern nonprofit capacity-building looks like.

It’s here — Early Giving for Give More 24!

I’m especially excited because GM24! has deep roots in our community — it began as a Leadership Clark County Class of 2014 project (my class!). Since then, it’s grown into the region’s largest day of giving, bringing people together to support nonprofits that make a real difference right here at home.

Many organizations have matching gifts available, so your donation can go even further.

I invite you to explore the list of participating nonprofits and consider making a gift to the causes that inspire you:

Together, we can keep building a stronger, more vibrant community.
