If so, please let Northern Kentucky University Computer Science/Software Engineering Professor Hongmei Wang know by using this ONLINE REQUEST FORM before Aug. 20. Students will select mapping projects from requests, and then partner with those selected to deliver digital maps at the end of the class.

In addition to receiving digital maps, one organization will be selected by the class for $2,000 in funding to implement the plan that the map project will support.

But how can you keep your members on board and engaged with your organization? By prioritizing the member experience and creating programs that resonate with their goals and interests. Building a member-centric program means providing value to your members first. Their needs should be at the forefront of everything you do.

Why Philanthropic Giving Declined in 2022
by Isaiah Thompson from Nonprofit Quarterly
Total US philanthropic giving decreased significantly in 2022, one of only four times the metric has dipped in the last 40 years. The latest annual report by Giving USA shows that total giving for 2022 declined by 3.4 percent in current dollars (or 10.5 percent after adjusting for inflation) to a total of $499 billion—down from $517 billion in 2021.
The report’s findings, researched and compiled by Indiana University’s Lilly Family School of Philanthropy, are not entirely surprising. Philanthropy had been especially strong in 2020 and 2021, largely due to giving related to the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as to racial and social justice movements in the United States. In 2021, total giving exceeded a half trillion dollars for the first time ever.
