Analyzing Your Amplify Austin Day Campaign

How can you tell if your Amplify Austin Day campaign was a success? What would or should you do differently next year? What lessons can you learn from this campaign? Where do you even begin to debrief? You'll hear from the I Live Here I Give Here team on some methods we use to analyze the success of Amplify Austin Day.

Ethical Storytelling with Giant Squid Group

Fundraisers play an essential role in the nonprofit sector. However, the language they use when crafting narratives around those in need can be problematic. The traditional approach often portrays donors as heroes and the recipients as victims, which reinforces negative stereotypes and promotes dependency. Transform your fundraising by learning the basics of ethical storytelling.

A Donor Stewardship Conversation

We all know that donor stewardship is important, but what exactly is it? How do you know if your donors are feeling loved and appreciated? How often do you need to connect with them? In this conversation, you’ll hear from Piper Stege Nelson, Executive Director at I Live Here I Give Here in conversation with local nonprofit representatives and will come away inspired to enhance your donor stewardship practices.

One Voice Survey on Executive Orders & Federal Funding

Federal Funding Survey

Recent federal orders continue to financially, legally and programmatically impact the Central Texas nonprofit community. Please see the Chart of Executive Orders Affecting Charitable Nonprofits which is being frequently updated by the National Council of Nonprofits.


One Voice Central Texas is conducting a survey to assess the impact of current and proposed federal funding cuts on our community. Providing your organization name may be helpful for us as we consider advocacy tactics, but you are able to submit your responses anonymously if preferred.
