Billions of Dollars Available to do Good in North Dakota!

2011-11-21T21:45:40.000Z

According to a study unveiled on November 7, 2011, by Impact and Dakota Medical Foundations, North Dakota households will transfer hundreds of billions of dollars over the next 50 years. The report Endless Possibilities on the Prairie: Unleashing North Dakota’s Potential is authored by John Havens and Paul Schervish from the Boston College Center on Wealth and Philanthropy. The landmark study includes county wealth transfer breakdowns and was released at an event held in Fargo with nonprofits, donors, volunteers, attorneys, CPAs, and local, state and federal government representatives.

“The ‘Endless Possibilities’ theme aptly describes how the generational transfer of wealth through 2061 presents unprecedented opportunities to create a spectacular future for the people of North Dakota and beyond,” said Pat Traynor, Executive Director of Impact and Dakota Medical Foundations. “None of these ‘possibilities’ will become a reality unless we inspire donors, charities, entrepreneurs, tax and legal professionals, and others involved to implement bold strategies to create a brighter future and superior quality of life for all North Dakotans.”

The study can be viewed at http://www.impactgiveback.org/store, and was made possible by the generous support of Dakota Medical and Alex Stern Family Foundations and SEI Investments.

Giving Hearts Day 2011

2011-02-03T21:27:08.000Z

Giving Hearts Day is an innovative, online fundraising program made possible through a partnership between Impact, Dakota Medical Foundation (DMF), nonprofits trained through the Impact Institute and other community donors. This 24 hour fundraising event reinforces the Institute’s High Impact Fundraising Training by giving nonprofits an opportunity to use the concepts they learned to raise awareness about their organizations, identify new donors, and secure more money for their missions.

Each participant will be eligible to receive up to $4,000 in DMF match funding, and additional awards of $20,000, $15,000, $10,000, $7,500, $5,000, $3,000, and $1,500 if they are one of the top seven online fundraisers.

There will also be a friendly competition for additional incentive grants for the participants:
•A $500 incentive grant will be awarded to the GHD nonprofit that receives donations from the most ND cities.
•The donor who makes the single largest donation will be given the opportunity to select a GHD nonprofit to receive an additional $500 grant.
•The donor who contributes to the most nonprofits (i.e., one donor gives to 10 GHD nonprofits) will be given the opportunity to select a GHD nonprofit to receive an additional $500 grant.
•The GHD nonprofit that receives donations from the most donors (not dollar amount but single individual donors) will receive an additional $500 grant.
•The GHD nonprofit that receives donations from the most U.S. states will receive an additional $500 grant.
•The GHD nonprofit that uses the most creative and effective marketing strategy for GHD will receive an additional $500 grant.
