Legacy Collective

We plan to raise a minimum of $1.35MM in 2023 and issue the grants for each giving circle and disaster relief effort in the greatest amount possible. This year, we will begin reaching out for Foundation funding of programming costs to allow our organization to issue more grants to more nonprofits funding the most sustainable, innovative efforts through partnerships with nonprofit organizations locally and globally. Our goal is to have 80% of all funding issued in grants.

To grow the organization, we have a 10% goal of net new donors YOY with 50% of these coming from our Board of Directors and Advisory Board. We also have multiple donor events planned to grow our community and maintain our current donor community. We will also be implementing donor software to help up manage 15,000 leads and contacts that are not currently monthly donors but are engaged with our organization in some capacity. With this effort we also strive for a donor retention rate of above 85% annually.

We will be launching (2) new Cause Area specific giving circles in 2023.

We will be targeting the launch of City Giving Circles in 8 new cities in 2023.

We will be targeting $20,000 in Corporate Sponsorship in our Cause Area Giving Circles.

We will be applying to Foundations to cover the cost of growing our Grant Management Program and Giving Circle Program so that those programming costs can be put toward grants instead.

All of the funding coming from the above efforts will then be issued to nonprofits via our Grant Cycles (donors nominate nonprofits, we vet the organizations, and the donors vote on who receives the funding). The more funding that is received, means the more that is granted and the greater impact is made. Each application will be required to list which (1) or (2) of the Sustainable Development Goals they are meeting so we can measure the impact.

Not only are more funding and more granting important to us, but more important to use are our people! So we have also put goals and measures in place to ensure a positive staff culture and staff development as well as Board development and effectiveness.

With the efforts of a strong staff, an engaged donor community, a supportive and active Advisory Board, and an engaged Board of Directors we are capable of meeting these goals. The current economic climate may be a challenge for us, but our team is strong and capable of pivoting.

We have a marketing plan with 13 action items in place for 2023 to help grow the community and clearly defined goals and a strategic plan which has been communicated to the staff, both Boards, and the key stakeholders.

We have launched a rebrand in January of 2023. And we will be launching our UN Sustainable Development Goal Campaign to educate our community in February of 2023 which will run for 18 months.
