With a deep commitment to the National Museum of Wildlife Art and its mission, Lindy Sayers understands what it takes to be an effective board member. That spirit of intentional leadership was the driving force behind the Museum’s decision to engage Benefactor Group for a governance assessment. As the Museum approached its 30th anniversary in 2017, it marked a natural moment to pause, reflect, and plan ahead. Recognizing that strong, engaged boards are the backbone of thriving nonprofits, the Museum was eager to evaluate and strengthen its boards’ performance. With previous experiences partnering with Benefactor Group, both the executive director and several board leaders knew who to call. The governance assessment led to meaningful and lasting changes.
Capacity building work can take many forms: optimizing fundraising strategies, clarifying staff and volunteer roles and responsibilities, fostering a culture of philanthropy, or introducing data-driven reporting and processes. At its core, though, capacity building is about helping organizations strengthen the foundation they need to grow—and to do so in a way that’s sustainable, mission-aligned, and people-centered. For more than 25 years, Benefactor Group has helped nonprofit organizations build this kind of capacity. Read our story here.
Alumni giving is a growing concern across higher education. For more than a decade, participation has trended downward nationally—particularly among young alumni. To address this ever-growing issue, Kenyon College partnered with Benefactor Group in 2022 to launch The Generosity Project, an initiative designed to diagnose the root causes of declining participation and craft a multi-year strategy to infuse generosity across the campus culture. Just under two years later in June 2024, Kenyon concluded the most successful campaign in its nearly 200-year history.
