Forward Bank
Non-Profit & Charity Resources
Is your charity or organization enrolled in the CMMA program? Want to obtain and increase your list of sustainable donors? Here are some tips from experts in the non-profit industry.
Promote Your CMMA Status
People can’t support your group through the Charitable Money Market (CMMA) program if they don’t know you are involved. Grow the amount your charity receives each year by getting the message out and letting everyone know how they can benefit your organization by opening a CMMA at Forward Bank.
Feel free to copy/paste the content from the templates below to use in your newsletters, social media posts, and more.
Include a description about the CMMA in your next newsletter or multiple times throughout the year.

Share the LOVE with (insert organization name) and open a Charitable Money Market Account at Forward Bank!
Forward Bank believes that local charities are a key component in keeping our communities strong. They fill unique and important niches in helping us all with the educational, spiritual, cultural, social, and health aspects of our lives.
To provide a consistent donation stream for local charities Forward Bank has created the Charitable Money Market Account (CMMA).
Open your account and specify our organization as your preferred charity, and at the end of the year the Forward Bank will make a donation on your behalf to us based on your average balance – no money is taken from your account.
What’s in it for you? Earn interest at a competitive rate similar to a savings account with the convenience of a checking account. (See Forward Bank for full account details)
To open a CMMA account online, go to www.forward.bank or visit a Forward Bank location near you.
As more people use social media to interact, you may want to create a post promoting the CMMA. For the most impact, post periodically throughout the year.

Obtain Sustaining Donations
Sustaining donations made through by an Electronic Bank Transfer (ACH Origination) provide uninterrupted support to your nonprofit organization at a lower cost. An established sustainer program will free up time, money and energy so you can focus on your mission, not fundraising. Want to provide an electronic bank transfer option to your donors? Check out these tips.
- Gain approval and get set up
- Communicate with sustaining donors to keep them engaged
- Keep donor information
