Many donors have gone above and beyond to help nonprofit organizations over the last two years. This means you need to go above and beyond when you thank them. Are you doing that? Most likely, you’re not. I know running your organization is hard right now, but you need to prioritize donor appreciation. Thanking your donors is not just something you do after you receive a donation and then do nothing for a while.

The Great Resignation was a long time in the making. The warning signs included the ongoing toxic combination of low pay and overwhelming workloads endemic in nonprofit work that leads to exhaustion, mistakes, and ultimately burnout. The pandemic exacerbated these rumblings not only because these stressors increased but because people experienced a different kind of work life, with more flexibility to work from home and less hovering by management.

I have a love/hate relationship with social media. I love being able to connect with people I otherwise would not be able to. I hate all the noise. Then from a business point of view, there is the pressure to post something engaging every time and the constant algorithm changes that decided who sees what. Of course, deciding what to post to social media should follow the same process you use for any communications channel: Does it fit in your overall strategies and goals?

It’s true, there is a lot to do. And one thing you absolutely, positively MUST DO if you want to stay at the top of your game is take time off.

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.

Originally published by the Center for Effective Philanthropy (CEP). . Not so long ago, the word “race” was something that many people shied away from—a four-letter word not to be spoken in polite company. Similarly, “racial equity” and “racial justice” were terms mostly used by advocates and experts. Today, these terms come up in daily conversations, corporate websites, and foundations’ decision-making and strategies.

What do you think of when you hear the word annual report?

What do you do? Organizations need to share accomplishments and show gratitude to their donors, but is the annual report the way to do that?

One of the many lessons since the pandemic started is generic, organization-centered communication has to go. I know there has been some conflict about donor-centered vs community-centered over the last two years and I think we can have both. What you don’t want is to be organization-centered. You can’t communicate with your donors without focusing on them.

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.
