About Dawn Bell

Creating connections with people who believe in being a part of community solutions while seeking philanthropic opportunities is something that I love. Every person, and therefore every business has a desire to give. Whether it's supporting peer-to-peer efforts, training nonprofits how to focus their fundraising efforts, or persuading for-profit business leaders that partnering with non-profits is both purposeful and rewarding, engaging the community is the key. It doesn't matter who you choose to work with or give to so long as it becomes a part of your personal and professional culture. Designing an internal program that provides opportunities for employers and their staff to give and to enjoy the act of giving, is paramount to success in all ways. Employees want to know that they work for a caring organization. No matter if it is a formal giving plan, a donation day or a charitable event or race, employers should offer opportunities for their staff to participate in, team up for and connect to their fellow employees and their community. I've worked in the nonprofit world most of my adult life. This community of vastly different organizations and missions is home for me.
