03/09/22 • 24 min
If you aren’t fulfilled, aren’t inspired, aren’t focused, the best-laid goals and plans won’t be realized. So, how do we make sure that the people in this community, you, the people committed to changing the world, actually do? In this episode, EFG's Alli Murphy is joined by Accelersit's CEO and Founder, Brittany Hill, to answer that question and share a more focused, effective, and faster way to fulfill your work...and make it more fulfilling.
Accelerist is a proprietary SaaS platform that some of the industry’s most prolific brands and nonprofits rely on to prospect, measure, fundraise and inspire their partnerships. They also created the Journal for Purpose People and are creating a broader Purpose People community to support the brands and nonprofits that work in this space.

- What the Journal for Purpose People is and what it'll help you do in just 10 minutes a day
- How to connect the person within you to the work you do
- How Accelerist nearly tripled its revenue last year, doubled its monthly recurring revenue this year, and increased its teams' productivity
- The 3 trends Brittany will cover in her session at EFG2022

How To Make Your Next Fundraising Event A Hole In One
In 2019, 34.2 Million people in the US played golf. During the pandemic, that number grew since golf courses provide a fantastic opportunity for socially-distanced gatherings. In 2021, that number increased from 34.2 million to 37.5 million. And while that is great news for golfers and those that fundraise through golf events, the even better news for those of you who don't know the first thing about golf is that you don't need to know anything about the sport to start setting up a successful tournament that raises serious funds for a nonprofit.
In today's episode, EFG's Alli Murphy is joined by Brian Schenk, Chief Philanthropy Officer at Dormie Network, and Logan Foote, Education and Development Manager at GolfStatus, to talk about how to use golf for fundraising, corporate partnerships, and CSR.
Dormie Network is a national network of clubs combining the experience of destination golf with the premier hospitality of private membership. GolfStatus is the leading event management platform for golf fundraisers.
In today's episode, we'll cover:
- What Dormie Day of Giving is and how it fits into the Dormie Foundation
- How Dormie Network leverages golf to donate $4.8 million in gifts in kind and raise $3.2 million in cash in hand
- How golf events can help nonprofits open doors to corporate partnerships
- What to include in sponsorship packages
- Brian & Logan's advice for setting up your first tournament
- Lessons the duo learned along the way
- Why you don't need to know anything about golf to run a successful tournament
This episode is brought to you by GolfStatus. If your golf tournament raises money for a charity or nonprofit, you can qualify for access to GolfStatus’s event management and fundraising platform through the Golf for Good program at no cost.
