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.

In today’s rapidly changing world, clinging to the traditional five-year strategic plan is not just outdated—it’s impractical. Organizations need to adapt quickly to survive, and a long-term plan often becomes a liability and burden rather than a guide and roadmap. Instead, a one-year nonprofit strategic plan, monitored monthly and updated annually, proves to be a far more effective and cost-efficient approach to planning.

Is there ever a reason to utilize “utilize” in writing? I’m gonna say No. Utilize is an almost-exact synonym of use. So use use instead. There are a couple subtle shadings of utilize that are slightly different. But you’re not likely to need those in fundraising. And most readers are not aware of those things. The long word is just a needless long word.

The world of work has fundamentally changed. The series of waves that the pandemic began have rippled through the Great Resignation, quiet quitting, the Great Regret, and other eloquent phrases that boil down to the same thing: people aren’t engaged at work or enabled to perform at their best. The truth is that engagement and enablement is more important than ever, but how we do it is the critical differentiator for many organizations.
