For the last 20 years, I have held the title of “fundraiser”—to be more exact, a Black and Indigenous woman fundraiser. The stakes are high; securing funds means supporting the needs of my own community. Recently, the challenges of the work, like race and gender biases, imbalanced power structures, and increasing political polarization have left me exhausted.

Jody Levison-Johnson, Ph.D., LCSW What makes Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos successful entrepreneurs is their ability to innovate and think outside of the box. That freedom has enabled them to conquer new horizons in business, revolutionizing online retail, the electric car market, and even the commercial space market. Central to that success is their ability to leverage their innovation capital — the trust that funders place in their ability to solve problems and break new ground.

Employee recognition has often been deemed a "feel-good" initiative, tied closely to rewards. While we understand its importance, we tend to associate recognition with intangible outcomes like engagement and sentiment, rather than direct impacts on retention and high performance. In today’s workplace, the true ROI of recognition lies in its ability to regenerate tangible, business-driven results.

By Amanda Wasson In the ever-evolving landscape of fundraising, it’s clear that the traditional channel-first mindset is no longer sufficient. For too long, success was measured by the performance of individual channels, often overlooking the holistic experience of our donors. It’s time to embrace a paradigm shift toward audience-first fundraising. Why this change matters Donors today engage with organizations across multiple touchpoints.

In this three-part series on the Critical Theory of Love framework, author Durryle Brooks aims to fill the gap. By exploring the social function of love, the framework seeks to reclaim love as a radical and transformative force, replacing an uncritical love that perpetuates White supremacy, racism, and other forms of oppression.
