Good morning!
Social Media Basics with Morgana LeBold is this week.
Morgana, of Red Door Consulting, brings practical tips and ideas for structuring your social media strategy: where to spend your time and what mistakes to avoid.
Thursday at 1:00 PM at the UCCS Downtown Campus on Tejon Street.
Inspiration Gift portal update
The Inspiration Gift portal is open, and we have raised over $35,000 so far this year. That is a good start, but please do not wait until the last minute to secure yours. Last year, we had over $300,000 in Inspiration Gifts for the campaign.

Looking ahead
Here are a few things to start thinking about as Inspiration Gifts wrap up in September:
-
Do you have a stewardship plan in place for your Give! donors? We send an automatic thank you with each gift’s tax receipt, but it is worth thinking through how you will handle your daily donation reports. If you missed the Tips and Tricks workshop, you can watch that segment here.
-
Profile edits open in early October, but the edit window will be short. We are preparing the website to go live, so once edits open you will need to move quickly. Pull up your profile answers now and make sure you are satisfied with them, so any edits in October are quick.
Do not submit another form. You can review the original questions here, and your submitted answers were sent to you by email titled “New Give! Campaign 2026 Nonprofit Onboarding.”
