With one and a half million tax exempt nonprofits in the United States alone, it’s not surprising that thousands of nonprofits fail each year. Forbes states fifty percent will hit the wall in the first twelve months. Other data suggests it’s less, with the National Centre For Charitable Statistics putting the figure nearer thirty percent. . Either way, the numbers indicate that even in regular times, no-one is guaranteed success.

Let's imagine a tree, a spider, or an octopus. Or anything else with a center (read: core idea or problem) and shoots (related points to consider for that idea realization or problem solving). Each branch, tarsus, or arm has its own, smaller offshoots, also crucial for the whole organism to work. The same principle lies at the heart of a mind map. It's a visual representation of keynote thoughts centered around the main idea.

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.

This season is ripe for conflict. So much is going on in the world outside of the realm of nonprofit board service. Folks are divided on issues of police reform, virtual schooling, left or right politics, diversity-focused-vs-not diverse enough, and whether to mask up in this pandemic or not. . It is no wonder some boards are finding it difficult to be productive due to this bickering, eye-rolling, microaggressions, bias, silence, or absence.

Smartphones are how we communicate – in fact, a recent study shows that we look at them over a 100x each day. Now any nonprofit can communicate instantly by sending push notifications to the specific groups they work with and serve: volunteers, families, staff, and others. Geo-communication even enables messaging based on real-time location. For the next two weeks, curious non-profits can get a trial to see exactly how this works for their organization.
