  • WASHINGTON,DC-MAR23: Jacqueline Clayton, a veteran, paints a mural with other women veterans during a day of service at Martin Luther King Junior Elementary School in Washington, DC. The veterans are volunteers with The Mission Continues, a nonprofit organization that empowers veterans to continue their service, and empowers communities with veteran talent, skills and preparedness to generate visible impact. The service project is part of The Mission Continues' fourth annual Women Veterans Leadership Summit.

    Join Why Donors Give Anonymously, a conversation with Dan Heist of Brigham Young University, Tyler Kalogeros-Treschuk of the Center for Reproductive Rights, and Jilla Tombar of BlackBridge Philanthropic. They’ll explore whether fundraising tactics cause donors to conceal their identities, how giving patterns among anonymous donors could affect major-gift fundraising, and how to strengthen ties with those who don’t want any kind of donor recognition.

Nonprofit News From Elsewhere Online

Faith groups that help migrants and refugees are vowing to continue their work in the wake of Donald Trump’s election, and they are even hoping to win some of his supporters for their cause. The former president made gains among Latino voters, for example, but his promise to deport migrants en masse could affect nearly 1 in 3 Latino residents, “either because of their legal status or that of someone in the household,” according to FWD.us, a social-welfare organization focused on immigration and criminal justice reform. And an executive at World Relief, the humanitarian arm of the National Association of Evangelicals, said that although most evangelicals backed Trump, Christians support refugee resettlement when they “realize that most refugees resettled to the U.S. in recent years have been fellow Christians, that they’re admitted lawfully after a thorough vetting process overseas, and that many were persecuted particularly because of their faith in Jesus.” (Religion News Service)
