Advancing nonprofit mission with Booth expertise

Dear <<First Name>>,
April is National Volunteer Month. I want to thank all of our volunteers for the insights and energy that you bring to BANC's work with nonprofits. Together, we have contributed over $3MM worth of consulting services to help nonprofits achieve their missions. As we wrap up our current projects and launch new ones, I am grateful for your work.
This week, we will be reaching out to former BANC consultants with a short survey that will help us plan for the future. Please expect an email from Marla Grossberg of Grossberg Consulting. The survey will take 5-7 minutes. All responses will be anonymous. Your responses will help shape our strategic planning effort.
I am also delighted to share that the Rustandy Center is offering a special discount to attend its annual On Board conference. This is a great event for anyone interested in nonprofits. More details and the code are below.
Finally, a factoid: About 30 percent Americans volunteered in 2019, according to the AmeriCorps 2019 Survey on Civic Engagement and Volunteering. That volunteering rate has been consistent over the past two decades. (Source: https://www.americorps.gov/sites/default/files/document/2019%20CPS%20CEV%20findings%20report%20CLEAN_10Dec2021_508.pdf)
Thank you for being part of a very special group!
Robin Simon, ‘89
Director, Booth Alumni Nonprofit Consultants
