🌱📊 No data, no dollars. That’s the reality many nonprofits face. At CHMRC, we see every day that outcomes, not just stories, open doors to lasting partnerships and sustainable funding. Impact isn’t optional anymore; it’s survival.

💬 Our Chief Community Strategy Officer, Natasha Goburdhun, shares why this shift matters now — and how CBOs can start proving what works. Read the full article here: https://www.chmrccares.org/news/leading-with-impact-why-impact-is-the-new-currency-for-nonprofits/

🌟 New on the CHMRC Blog: "Be Clear. Be Bold." 🌟

Fundraising expert Susan Kahan of Sapphire Fundraising Specialists doesn’t sugarcoat it: people aren’t thinking about your nonprofit all day. Clarity and courage matter more than ever. Say who you are, what you need, and why it matters, then say it again.

Susan’s advice is simple but tough: assess where you are, invest where it counts, and don’t wait for the perfect moment to start.

🌱💚 Gratitude Post! 💚🌱
We want to send a huge THANK YOU to our friends at

Not only have they supported us with much-needed funding, but they’ve shown an unwavering commitment to our little spunky nonprofit. It’s not just that they believe in the work we’re doing—they see the potential in our work.
✨
https://www.chmrccares.org goes above and beyond by asking the simplest (and sometimes hardest) question: “What do you need most?” When we said, “We need funding to keep going,” they met that need—and then some. 🙌

They created our landing page for the Give For Good Louisville fundraiser, and they are helping us build the tools we need to grow into a sustainable, thriving organization. Having a funder who truly listens and invests in both our mission and our future? That’s rare, refreshing, and deeply appreciated. 💚

From all of us at Let Us Learn: Thank you, CHMRC, for believing in us and walking alongside us as we build a healthier, more nourished community! 🥕🥦🌻

💚🌱💚 We have big dreams—and not just pie-in-the-sky dreams, but the kind of dreams that could transform our community. Imagine a future where every child in our schools knows how to grow, prepare, and enjoy healthy food.

That was just a dream in 2016. Nearly 10 years later, we have worked with 1,000+ students within the New Albany Floyd County School District.
Fundraisers like Give for Good Louisville will help us get to year 10 and beyond.

Your $10 donation helps us plant a future where students not only learn about sustainable agriculture—they lead it, becoming changemakers in their own communities. https://www.giveforgoodlouisville.org/organization/let-us-learn-inc

That’s the future we’re working toward—and it’s closer than you think. 💚🌱💚
