Last week I shared an article on Twitter and added that if enough of you showed interest in the research - by clicking on the link! - I would explain how it changed my thinking on using Twitter for partnership prospecting. The article had nearly 60 "clicks" and was the fourth most popular link in my newsletter last week. So here's my explanation! Let me begin by saying that Twitter is a vastly underused tool for prospecting.

I first talked about The Great Resignation back in September of 2021, but it’s apparently still going strong. Federal data released March 29th shows that 4.4 million people quit in February 2022 compared to 3.4 million in February of 2021. And according to a survey by Willis Towers Watson , 53% of US employees are open to leaving their current jobs with 44% actively looking for new places to work.

During November 2021 alone 4.5 million people quit their jobs —the highest number on record. The pandemic work experience encouraged many employees to draw a line in the sand between what’s important (family, flexibility, and free time) and what’s not (toxic work cultures that lead to exhaustion, mistakes and ultimately burnout.) Black, Indigenous and people of color (BIPOC) have particularly felt the strain of office life with 97 percent wanting a hybrid or full-time remote working model (compa

Many nonprofit organizations struggle to engage their board members with fundraising, especially the act of asking another person for money. It is tempting to allow board members to skip fundraising, but this useful list is designed to give board members a wide range of tasks they can choose from to support the financial growth of your organization, and only a few involve directly asking for money.

Similar to the list I shared for nonprofits focusing on education , arts and culture tends to be a very popular issue area for American foundations. The large difference is that most funders tend to direct a majority of their arts funding to local and regional organizations. So, while there are a few global and national options below, most are targeted to their communities.

One of the most crucial parts of nonprofit fundraising is finding donors. If a donor doesn't give, your organization can't adequately serve its mission. But creating a potential donor portfolio isn't always easy.

If you’re like many people, you probably think that there is a single set of accounting rules that every company must follow. . But that’s not quite true—nonprofits face a decision between 2 different accounting methods for tracking their financial activity: cash accounting vs. accrual accounting. Though both systems use the same numbers, looking at those numbers differently can give you a very different perspective on the state of your finances.

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.

According to The World Health Organization , of the 1 billion people around the world currently experiencing a mental disorder, more than 80% are without any form of quality, affordable care. Additionally, millions die every year from alcohol abuse and one person dies every 40 seconds by suicide. And with the COVID-19 pandemic’s effect on mental health, there has never been a more important time than now to address mental health conditions. .

If customers don’t see themselves in what you offer, they won’t come in the store. Those that come in are often “just looking’. If a salesperson is too aggressive, they leave. Customers want to try on clothes without being pushed into buying. If the sales rep gushes and fawns about everything they try on, they lose faith in that rep and, by implication, the store.

Even more shocking is some experimental fundraising data you’re about to see.

Dresscodes have become much more casual and, if we're honest, it really only matters what you wear when you're on a video call or in an in-person meeting.
