However, when you understand overhead costs and how to manage them, you can be more confident in your spending decisions and be more transparent with stakeholders.

Youre not fit to be a fundraiser unless you hear things that frustrate the daylights out of you. At the top of my list is hearing from nonprofit colleagues that donors arent interested in making unrestricted gifts. Even worse, is when they believe that asking for such gifts is not consistent with being donor centric. I have a one-word response to that sentiment: Poppycock!

But lets be honest: waiting until the last minute to plan such an important event can lead to unnecessary stress, limited options, and a lackluster experience.

AI is transforming industries, and the nonprofit sector is no exception. For resource-strapped organizations, AI holds enormous promise. But AI adoption comes with challenges. Concerns about authenticity, disparities in access, and biases in AI tools raise urgent questions: Will this technology help bridge societal gaps, or will it deepen them? The inequity in AI adoption today has parallels to the early days of seat belt installation in cars.

Your nonprofits website may feature all the latest bells and whistles your content management system has to offer, like a dynamic homepage, interactive content, and professional videos. However, these features alone wont help you recruit and retain new supporters long term. 75% of regular nonprofit donors want information about an organizations impact, and your website is the perfect place to keep them in the loop.

Nonprofits thrive or fail based largely on the success of their fundraising efforts, but fundraising alone cannot ensure sustainability.

Community buildingcultivating a network of engaged donors, volunteers, board members, and beneficiaries who share a sense of belonging and commitmentmight be the most overlooked strategy for long-term success.

When the Doobie Brothers sang Takin It to the Streets, they probably did not imagine their anthem would someday inspire mobile healthcare. Nor did they picture James Taylor lending his voice (in my head, at least) to narrate the rise of healthcare buses navigating neighborhoods like heroes on a mission. Yet here we are, witnessing healthcare systems channel their inner road warriors to serve communities in need.
