posted by Cindi Phallen President, Create Possibility. Have you ever made an announcement at a board meeting and everyone is excited and pledges to be involved in this new plan or initiative? WOO HOO! Then, a little time goes by and it’s like crickets. Nobody is doing anything and you feel like you’re in it all alone. Where did everyone go?

Everyone wants new donors, right? So how do you get them? Bottom line: gifts are the result of effective engagement. The fantasy of finding rich strangers we can lure into giving generously to our cause is seductive and tempting. In reality, paying to interrupt complete strangers with an uninvited ask and thinking they’ll go from stranger to a donor can amount to magical thinking.

Every year we face natural disasters from fires to hurricanes to earthquakes to tornadoes and flooding. We never know when disaster may strike. Technology can help a nonprofit recover faster when it is thoughtfully used. A nonprofit without a disaster recovery plan may suffer permanent data losses and can struggle for weeks to reconstruct the systems, data, and networks that keep an organization running smoothly.

When you're building a movement, video is an indispensable storytelling tool. By appealing to a wide range of our senses, videos capture our attention and activate our emotions, unlike any other medium. With more Americans getting their news through social media, video content provides an opportunity to grow your audience and make your story heard. Two-thirds of Americans get at least some of their news on social media and those platforms prioritize video content because it commands attention.

Beth's Blog: How Nonprofits Can Use Social Media
SEPTEMBER 5, 2018
As part of the workshops that I deliver based on the Happy Healthy Nonprofit , one of my most popular is how to avoid collaborative overload in the nonprofit workplace. Collaborative overload results from too many pointless meetings, a tsunami of emails, and a drumbeat of constant interruptions. These three things not only cause a lot of stress and can lead to burnout, but also end up costing a lot of money in wasted time and lost productivity.
