New initiative equips leaders to grow generosity, deepen donor relationships and seize opportunity in this new era of giving

SEATTLE, May 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — As the subscription economy reshapes how people give, The Center for Sustainable Giving launches to equip leaders to grow generosity and cultivate giving programs for the future.

Founded by Dave Raley, advisor and author of The Rise of Sustainable Giving, The Center serves nonprofits leaders seeking to break free from the exhausting cycle of short-term fundraising triage and build toward the long-term organizational health.

“Sustainable giving is not a passing trend or a tactic to test and move on from. It is a fundamental shift in how organizations fund their missions, relate to donors, and build for the future,” said Raley.

In 2024, charitable giving reached a record $592.50 billion, 66% of which was attributed to individual donations (Giving USA 2025).

“The rise of the subscription economy has fundamentally reshaped how people relate to ongoing value and recurring commitments,” Raley states. “Donors are no longer limited by habit or technology to one-time expressions of support. They are ready—and eager—to participate in causes they care about on an ongoing basis.”

Raley notes that over the next decade, the convergence of changing donor behavior, the subscription economy and leaders willing to invest in the shift represents $100 billion to $200 billion of additional generosity (GivingTuesday).

Nathan Chappell, co-author of The Generosity Crisis, sees the launch of The Center as timely and critical: “The generosity crisis is real, and well documented — year after year, fewer people are choosing to give. But this moment also represents a genuine opportunity: not just to grow giving, but to rebuild a culture of generosity that reconnects people to causes and to each other. The Center for Sustainable Giving is exactly the kind of catalyst leaders need right now to help turn the tide.”

The Center’s work is organized around four integrated pillars:

  1. Training through immersive learning
  2. Advisory to transform organizations to grow
  3. Insights to advance sustainable giving
  4. Partnerships to scale impact and facilitate a healthy ecosystem of providers

The Center for Sustainable Giving exists to equip leaders to grow generosity – within themselves, their organizations, and the communities they serve – fueling more sustainable and lasting impact.

Highlights a New Generation of Electric Vehicles Designed for Everyday Life

PLANO, Texas, May 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Unveiled today, Toyota’s new all-electric family marketing campaign introduces a lineup designed to meet the needs of today’s drivers with intuitive technology, purposeful engineering and everyday usability. As more drivers begin to explore electric options, the campaign invites them to get behind the wheel and see how Toyota’s all-electric vehicles fit into their daily lives. Through relatable, human-centered storytelling, the campaign shows how going electric can feel simple, natural and worth exploring.

Experience the full interactive Multichannel News Release here: https://www.multivu.com/toyota/9393251-en-toyota-new-all-electric-vehicle-family-campaign

“Toyota’s new lineup of all-electric vehicles demonstrates our dedication to putting people first – emphasizing the everyday needs of drivers,” stated Mike Tripp, group vice president of Toyota Marketing. “This campaign highlights how thoughtful features and purposeful design help make the move to all-electric simple and fun, while supporting how people live, travel, and connect.”

The fully integrated campaign was developed using a cohesive marketing approach inclusive of multicultural audiences. Agency partners include Saatchi & Saatchi, Burrell Communications Group, Conill and Intertrend Communications.

The campaign showcases a unified style across the creative, which is highlighted below:

Focusing on turning skeptics into believers, Burrell Communications Group developed a series of broadcast and digital spots for Toyota’s new all-electric family campaign. The work includes a 30-second hero film titled “Haters Anthem,” along with 15-second “Looks for Days,” “Power” and “Handle It,” and 10-second “First Sight” and “Frown Breakdown,” all directed by Paul Hunter. In “Haters Anthem,” three skeptics portrayed as puppets, comedically sing, hate and doubt all-electric vehicles – only to be won over by the vehicles one-by-one, revealing the puppet haters have been transformed into Toyota BEV believers.

Toyota’s new all-electric family campaign highlights how its all-electric family fits seamlessly into the lives of today’s drivers, supporting everything from creative pursuits to weekend escapes and everyday routines. Saatchi & Saatchi developed two 30-second spots titled “Carista” and “Imagine,” along with two 15-second spots titled “Weekend Warriors” and “Last Run,” all directed by Tristan Holmes. The work brings to life real, human stories from a mobile coffee business powered out of a Toyota bZ to drivers using their all-electric vehicles to pursue passions, explore beyond the city and make the most of every day.

Rooted in a shared appreciation for entertainment and inspired by Asian films, Intertrend Communications produced cinematic spots for Toyota’s new all-electric family campaign. The work includes four 30-second films titled “Camping,” “Escape,” “Jangal,” and “Chase,” all directed by Joseph Kahn. Each spot celebrates the magic of the movie-going experience that Asian Americans today know and love. The campaign will be released in June 2026.

For Hispanics, the best technology comes from tried-and-true brands. Building on that insight, Conill combines animation and live action to launch Toyota’s new all-electric family of vehicles, visually expressing the confidence Hispanic consumers have in trusted brands when embracing new technologies. The campaign features a 30-second hero spot titled “They’re Here,” along with two unique 15-second spots, “Test Drive” and “Tough Call,” all directed by Felix Brady, showcasing why choosing a Toyota all-electric vehicle is an easy call. The campaign will be released in July 2026.

Media Placements

Toyota’s new all-electric family campaign is a fully integrated campaign extending across linear TV, digital video, digital content, streaming audio, programmatic, paid social, and experiential. Digital content/video partnership highlights include 88Rising, AdMazing, AMC+, Amazon, Blavity, CNET, DirectTV, ESPN Playoffs, Hartbeat, Hulu, Hypebeast, iTalk BB, Live Nation, Max, Netflix, ONE Tv, Outside Lands, Paramount+, Peacock, QYOU Media, Roku, SiriusXM, Sports Illustrated, Sundance Now, TED, The Atlantic, The New York Times, TIME100, Tripadvisor, Twitch, Urban On TV, Wired, YouTube, and more.

How Mad Agriculture’s Regenerative Catalyst Fund and Mad Capital are Closing the Finance Gap in Regenerative Agriculture

Finance Built for the Transition – Mad Capital, a public benefit corporation (PBC) and mission-driven partner of non-profit Mad Agriculture, shares its intention of creating a regenerative revolution in agriculture. Where conventional lenders see risk in organic transition, Mad Capital sees opportunity offering operating loans, real estate loans, and transition loans specifically tailored for farms and ranches that are either certified organic or transitioning. Loans are designed with terms reflective of the realities of organic farming, including interest-only structures designed to help farmers navigate the J-curve without being crushed by debt service during their lowest-revenue years. Mad Capital also provides something conventional lenders rarely offer: connection to technical assistance, markets, and a community of values-aligned farmers who understand what it means to farm regeneratively.

The numbers reflect a growing movement. Mad Capital currently finances 175,317 acres, with 81.3% certified organic and 21.9% certified to the Regenerative Organic Certified standard, the most rigorous and comprehensive regenerative certification.

The Regenerative Catalyst Fund – Catalytic Capital for Resilience and Growth Mad Capital’s loan products start at $500,000, the scale needed for larger farm acquisitions, equipment purchases, and full-operation transitions. But the regenerative farming community includes farmers at every scale, and many of their most critical needs don’t fit that minimum. Enter Mad Ag’s Regenerative Catalyst Fund (RCF). The RCF provides grants and zero-interest loans to existing and transitioning regenerative and organic farmers and ranchers to implement specific projects that build resiliency and catalyze growth, both on the land and in the business.

 The Brand Debuts New TVC and Introduces The Mama Registry by Momcozy

LOS ANGELES, May 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Today, Momcozy announces the launch of its Mother’s Day Campaign, Choose You, Too, alongside the debut of a new television commercial starring mom, model, and content creator Abbie Herbert, and the introduction of The Mama Registry by Momcozy.

The campaign centers on a powerful shift in how mothers respond to a simple question: “What do you need?” Over time, many mothers learn to say, “I’m fine,” even when they’re not. Choose You, Too encourages mothers to recognize their needs, feel confident expressing them, and understand that prioritizing themselves is essential, not selfish.

Abbie Herbert, a mom of three, is known for sharing the real, unfiltered moments of motherhood and encouraging women to ask for help – making her a natural fit for the TVC, which reinforces the importance of making space for self-care. The spot was produced by CROING Agency, a women-owned and led creative agency founded by Alejandra Salazar, further underscoring the campaign’s commitment to elevating women’s voices both in front of and behind the camera.

“I really connected with this campaign because it feels so true to motherhood,” said Abbie Herbert. “Moms are always making sure everyone else is taken care of, and a lot of the time they put themselves last. I love the ‘Choose You, Too’ message because it reminds moms that taking care of themselves matters too. That’s why partnering with Momcozy felt like such a natural fit. They really do support moms in practical, meaningful ways and make them feel seen in every stage of motherhood. I also love that this campaign encourages moms to be honest about what they need and feel supported in asking for it.”

At the center of the campaign is Momcozy’s Mama Registry, which also launches today. Designed as an evolution of the traditional baby registry, it introduces a new approach by centering around the mother and making her needs visible, shareable, and supported.

Traditionally, registries have focused almost entirely on the baby. Momcozy’s Mama Registry expands this model by enabling mothers to add products designed for postpartum recovery, feeding, rest, and daily support – such as the Momcozy Pregnancy Pillow and Wearable Breast Pumps -helping family, friends, and partners better understand how to show up in meaningful ways.

Momcozy’s Mama Registry will also exclusively offer a limited number of one-on-one consultations with IBCLC-certified lactation consultants, available for registrants to add directly to their registry. These sessions provide personalized, expert guidance on breastfeeding and postpartum care, offering mothers access to real-time support beyond products. This early-stage offering reflects Momcozy’s broader vision to expand how support is delivered to mothers by combining physical products with expert-led care.

“Mothers give so much of themselves, often without being asked what they need in return,” said Athena, Founder and CEO of Momcozy. “We’re proud to partner with Abbie Herbert to bring this message to life through our Choose You, Too campaign and TVC in a way that feels honest and relatable. This campaign is about giving mothers permission to recognize and express their needs. Our Mama Registry is a natural extension of that -helping make those needs visible and easier for others to support in meaningful ways.”

By connecting emotional storytelling with practical solutions, Momcozy continues to reinforce its commitment to supporting mothers across every stage ensuring that support is visible, shareable, and built into the motherhood experience.

Create your Momcozy Mama Registry and watch the TVC at the campaign landing page. Campaign images can be found here.

Momcozy was founded in 2018 with a clear purpose: to help moms feel more comfortable, confident, and supported during one of life’s most meaningful and demanding transitions. Today, Momcozy is a global leader in maternal innovation, redefining care through technology designed around real motherhood.

DES MOINES, Iowa, May 4, 2026 /3BL/ – Hundreds of students, educators, and community leaders gathered Friday at North High School for a future-focused 529 Celebration, a pep-assembly event recognizing the growing investment in students’ futures through 529 college savings accounts and a $750,000 grant from the Wells Fargo Foundation to help get those accounts started.

By Degrees Foundation, a Des Moines-based nonprofit, operates one of the only programs in the nation that pairs early and ongoing postsecondary and career exploration with real-dollar investments into student 529 savings accounts. In November 2025, the organization announced the expansion of its 529 savings program to all students at North High School. In the first six months of the initiative, By Degrees opened 193 student 529 savings accounts at North High and invested more than $38,000 in seed funding.

“Our work is about expanding opportunity and economic mobility for more families in central Iowa,” said Emily Westergaard, CEO of By Degrees Foundation. “By Degrees helps students explore college and career pathways while building real savings for their future. Together, those strategies help students graduate from high school ready for what comes next.”

The Wells Fargo grant investment is supporting milestone deposits for the ninth-grade classes of 2025, 2026, 2027, and 2028, and will continue supporting those same classes as they progress through high school.

“Wells Fargo is proud to support By Degrees Foundation and help invest in students at North High School through the expansion of 529 savings accounts,” said Laura Howe, Regional Branch Network Executive of Wells Fargo. “When students and families have the opportunity to build financial savings early, it can be a game-changer that opens up possibilities for the future and nurture a mindset of saving for their future.”

By Degrees partners with Des Moines Public Schools to support students and families in north Des Moines through long-term school partnerships. The organization embeds staff directly inside schools and delivers coordinated K-12 programming that helps students tour colleges, explore career opportunities, and build financial assets for the future. After seeing strong outcomes at Findley Elementary, By Degrees expanded its 529 savings program to all Harding Middle students in 2024-25 with support from Mid-Iowa Health Foundation, and then to all North High students—offering the full program to every student at its partner schools. By combining education and asset-building in a single, coordinated approach, By Degrees aims to strengthen economic mobility and expand opportunity for students and families across central Iowa.

“At Des Moines Public Schools, we are committed to helping every student graduate ready for the opportunities that lie ahead,” said Matt Smith, interim superintendent of Des Moines Public Schools. “Our partnership with By Degrees helps make that possible, giving students the chance to explore options for postsecondary education while making a real financial investment in their future. Expanding 529 savings accounts to all North High students sends a powerful message that our community believes in their potential.”

About By Degrees Foundation 

By Degrees Foundation partners with Des Moines Public Schools to help students in north Des Moines graduate from high school with a clear plan for postsecondary education and career success. Through long-term school partnerships, By Degrees connects students and families to academic support, postsecondary exploration, career exposure, and postsecondary savings opportunities designed to expand economic mobility.
