Over the past seven years, Write On Fundraising has secured more than $250M for our clients through grant writing, annual fund (individual and corporate giving), and capital campaign services But it's not WHAT we do that our clients love - it's HOW we do it that sets us apart
Philanthropic equity centers the dignity of those served and breaks down the power imbalances entrenched in traditional fundraising to create true partnerships between nonprofits, fundraisers, and donors.
Because here's the big fundraising secret: there are no more of Andrew Carnegie's "have not" charities Collectively, nonprofits hold more than $1 7 trillion in accounts, waiting to be distributed Those dollars - $1 48 trillion in private foundation accounts and $251 billion in donor advised funds - don't even include the billions that individuals and corporations give every year in America. The money is ear-marked for charitable distribution - it's just not moving fast enough.
It's time to unleash what's already been given Let's change the systemand your fundraising results - together This is more than fundraising - it’s a movement Join us
Dearest Members,
What a year it has been! At The Center, we have celebrated new team members with a spark of growth and opportunity in the air. We have delighted in supporting you through your wins and bringing new and improved offerings to help Oklahoma nonprofits thrive through every phase of life.
Oklahoma’s nonprofit sector is strong, continuing as our state’s third-largest non-government employer. We connect our most vulnerable neighbors with critical resources in our communities, often when there is no one else to step up to the plate.
However, this past year we have seen challenges related to nonprofit funding and operations that are likely to have long-lasting implications for our sector at home and around the country.
As always, Oklahoma nonprofits continue to rise to the occasion and serve our stakeholders even when the odds seem insurmountable. As someone who has dedicated my career to the service of Oklahoma nonprofits, I couldn’t be prouder to work by your side.
The Center has endeavored to help our members meet this pivotal moment in our shared history through education, consulting, capacity building and much more, and we will continue to do so every step of the way. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to any member of our team –we are here to support you.
We are stronger together!
With gratitude,
Marnie Taylor President and CEO
