I was a big proponent on mental health days even before the past two years happened. And now that we know from October’s “Stress in America” survey that work is a very/somewhat significant source of stress for 66% of those surveyed, it’s time to revisit this idea. First off, mental health days are not for you to avoid your boss after you made a mistake or just don’t feel like listening to your co-workers.

With Giving Tuesday in the rear view, it’s tempting to forgo a year-end giving campaign and coast to the end of the year, catching up on work and enjoying the holidays. But don’t! This is NOT the time to take your foot off the gas! A year-end giving campaign is your chance to win over donors when they are in a giving frame of mind. Almost one-third of total giving to nonprofits happens in December, and 12% happens in the LAST THREE DAYS of December , according to Network for Good.

Traditional budgeting and forecasting methods can no longer keep pace with today’s rapidly evolving business environment. Static budgets, rigid annual forecasts, and outdated financial models limit an organization’s ability to adapt to market shifts and economic uncertainty. To stay ahead, finance leaders must leverage a future-forward approach—one that leverages real-time data, predictive analytics, and continuous planning to drive smarter financial decisions.

I put together my holiday planters last week and I used the traditional advice for making containers: Thriller, Spiller, Filler. Thriller. Something tall that will make people say "WOW!" In my container this is the winterberry branches. It gives the arrangement height and pop. Spiller. Something that spills over the side of the container and softens the edges.

I've been doing LOTS of trainings in the last few months. And getting a lot of the same types of questions. They generally sound like: "How do I know when a right time to ask so-and-so?". "How do I know if that asking amount is too much?". "This is what happened during the ask. I haven't heard back in weeks. Do you think I offended her?". Perhaps you have asked some of these yourself.

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.

I have a friend who called me on the phone the other night to vent about a situation at her work. Her supervisor had upended her job, and she felt more like this was a personal attack than a strategic organizational move. These types of events can be jarring.

Donor stewardship is extremely important for your non-profit.
