The Nonprofit Podcast Ep 37: PKF - Monthly Giving Drives the Dream
Growing a donor base is a challenge for all nonprofits. Can a recurring giving program plus a lean team sustain, and grow, an organization?
Join Cara and Rodger Obley, Creative Director at Pittsburgh Kids Foundation, for impactful and implementable insights into the PKF “Long Haul Mentality”, and discover how creating “a community of passionate monthly givers who believe every kid deserves the opportunity to thrive” sustains and grows this lean, but mighty, team.
Faith-based organization, Pittsburgh Kids Foundation, works in the USA to reach middle school and high school students through their one of a kind camps, while investing in local youth leaders through the Pittsburgh Kids Network. Their work in Cap Haitien, Haiti, addresses immediate needs, provides quality education, and creates sustainable jobs that transform communities in partnership with local organizations and PKF program alumni.
At the heart of these soul sustaining and life changing camps, education, skills, housing and health programs sits a sound monthly giving strategy, the PKF Dream Team. This caring community of committed donors and partners helps fund programs and projects designed to help kids thrive throughout their lives. This work takes time, but PKF’s Dream Team is in it for good, their “long-haul mentality” is nurtured through a digital communication strategy conceived and implemented by Rodger, a skilled visual storyteller. Today he shares the steps and strategy that sustained PKF through the Pandemic and is growing the Dream Team's future impact.
Pittsburgh Kids Foundation has seen what happens when kids have the support they need to pursue their dreams. They grow up to become doctors, lawyers, pastors, the list goes on. But they all have one thing in common - they had the support they needed to pursue their dreams. Imagine if every kid had that support.
