There are many challenges – how do you teach self-reflection and self-evaluation? How do you teach the ins and outs of the nonprofit sector? How do you get providers to invest time and energy in what is really a marginally profitable business?

Despite a significant financial investment and hours of planning, coding, reviewing, designing, outreach, and training to make the project a success, we were ultimately unable to achieve what we hoped. However, almost everyone involved with the project said if they could do it again, they would, with the right planning and preparation.

Much of the my reflections and noodling on this idea has been around how existing nonprofits balance these two approaches. We decided to become a nonprofit in early 2008 and formed the Diabetes Hands Foundation in April 2008. We started our communities in 2007, more than a year before we started the nonprofit.

In 2008, when this group was assembled, they had political backing, financial support, and an energetic approach to their work. The staff was fired, the digital projects divvied out to other institutions, the plans for the physical museum shelved. The root of my frustration with the book is not that the project never came to fruition.

ToMamaWithLove (TMWL) is no exception – but, as Stacey Monk, CEO of Epic Change, reflects, "It's a much different medium than it used to be.". Furthermore, asking volunteers to master a tool that's not entirely intuitive (as that's the biggest fault with most every project management tool on the market) is a stretch.

Second, in 2008 and 2009, when the economy dipped and membership renewal rates started to soften, we started to think more seriously about the emotional factor of supporting the arts in the community. And so, we started a major research project--the first one we've done that focuses on membership.
