Nonprofits have been doing newsletters forever, whether in print or via email. And for just as long, the communications staff in charge of them have been either taking a deep sigh or full-out eye-rolling in response to questions about why they exist. It’s just one of those things people do, even if they are not sure why. At various times, some in the nonprofit sector have suggested that the newsletter format needs to die and that emails in particular should be about one thing and one thing

I’m not going to tell you whether or not you should participate in #GivingTuesday. Perhaps you’ve participated in the past and it’s been successful, or maybe it wasn’t.

There are “boots-on-the-ground” volunteers who show up in person to help out, vendors who donate supplies or make in-kind donations, those who help you fundraise, and more. No matter how they support your mission, one thing all of these volunteers have in common is that they deserve your gratitude. .

For too long, nonprofits have desired to make social impact while often neglecting to center diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging for their staff. But as our national conversation about the impact of race in every facet of America continues, employees are seeking inclusive workplaces that allow for them to show up authentically, bringing their passions and desire to make a social impact into their day-to-day work.

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.

As a nonprofit management student, preparing to enter this field can be challenging because it’s still developing. The University of San Francisco was the first school to offer a Master’s in Nonprofit Administration less than 40 years ago, and the first School of Philanthropy was created just nine years ago at Indiana University. As the sector evolves, students aren’t always sure which available resources are the most sound to support our studies.

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.
