🌱 What if aging wasn’t about slowing down — but stepping into your most vibrant chapter? 🌟

Meet Erin Eleuterio, creator of the AGEnts of Movement podcast, who’s redefining what it means to grow older.

🌱 Build sustainability instead of scale

🌟 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.

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. 💚
