I come across a lot of unusual “holidays” when creating the Monthly Nonprofit Writing Prompts e-newsletter. While some of them are silly, they can still make good writing prompts like Optimist Day (February 3rd) or Pretend to Be a Time Traveler Day (December 8th). And then there are things like Wave All Your Fingers At Your Neighbors Day (February 7th) or International Cherry Pit Spitting Day (July 1st) which I can’t really do anything with.

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.

What do you think of when you hear the word annual report? If you’re a donor you might think “Oh, it’s that long, boring thing I don’t have time to read.” If you’re a nonprofit professional, you might think “It’s such a pain to put together.”. 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?

It’s not about the size of the monthly gift amount. It’s about the fact that you’re giving your donors the opportunity to make a difference in an amount they can afford.

The word audit can feel really scary. It feels like someone is coming for you and looking for all of your mistakes. But that’s not what we mean when we talk about a communications or marketing audit! Instead, think of it more as a review or a check-up. We just want to see how things are going. We want to know what’s working, so we can do more of those things.

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.

Why does your nonprofit need an operating reserve? . A report released last year by Candid and the Center for Disaster Philanthropy estimated the worst-case scenario would lead to the closure of 38% of nonprofits in the United States. Hopefully, we’ll fall far short of that number. . But there’s little doubt that nonprofits with reserve funds in place were more likely to survive when their offices closed suddenly and funding disappeared almost overnight in 2020.

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.
