Does the following scenario sound familiar? Your nonprofit implements a program, through which you gather valuable data and insights about the problem you’re trying to solve and the solutions that work (or don’t). But then you ask yourself: How can I share what I’ve learned with others in the field? Your findings may prove essential in developing effective solutions—but only if others are able to access that information and learn from your experience.

I have worked for many nonprofit organizations over the past 30 years. Their balance sheets were all very different; some had endowments of more than $20 million, and others were figuring out their payroll from month to month.

A few years ago, I was helping a small nonprofit revamp their donor outreach. They had an optimized donation page and were running campaigns online, but every time they needed to send a thank-you note, pull a donor report, or figure out who gave last year, it turned into a scramble. “Didn’t we already thank her?” “Wait, where’s that spreadsheet?” Sound familiar?
