Nonprofit leaders are surrounded by data.
Dashboards track participation. Grant reports document outputs. Surveys collect feed back. Logic models map activities to outcomes. Metrics are reviewed, reported, and archived.
And yet many leaders quietly ask the same question:
Are we actually using this data to make better decisions? To continue reading......... Click Here.

If you’re a nonprofit volunteer manager, you know better than anyone the immense impact volunteers have on your organization. So, you probably want to make sure your volunteers know what their support means to your nonprofit.
​
This may be your first or your fiftieth time designing an appreciation plan to show your gratitude to volunteers. However, no two appreciation strategies will look the same because each one needs to be tailored to the specific volunteers who serve with your organization right now.
​
In this guide, we’ll cover overall best practices and a few ideas to get your wheels turning. Let’s dive in!

Summer is around the corner, and you have a to-do list a mile long. What is an ideal solution? Bring in interns to help tackle it over the summer!
We’re excited that apprenticeships, including internships, job shadowing and project-based learning, have made a strong comeback as hands-on learning experiences across industries. Since 2015, we’ve encouraged our clients and TrendSpotters to hire next-gen interns. Talent is the great multiplier for the social sector, and it is just as important for us to “grow our own” as it is for any other field.
This week, we’re sharing practical strategies for nurturing talent through paid internships, job shadowing and project-based learning. To continue reading this article........... Click Here.

When legendary football coach Lou Holtz passed away, many people revisited one of his most famous leadership insights:

Great coaches understand something that great organizations eventually learn the hard way: success is not just about talent or effort. It is about stamina, teamwork and knowing how to navigate the long middle of the season.
Right now, many nonprofit leaders feel like they are stuck in that exact moment. The adrenaline of the pandemic response has faded, but the pressures facing our sector have not. Staff are tired. Expectations are rising. And leaders are trying to rebuild culture while still delivering results. To keep reading..... Click Here.

Expanding what “return on investment” means to your nonprofit — beyond just money — can help provide a clearer idea of how you’re helping your community and serving your mission goals.
Nonprofits’ impact is often intangible and not easily translated into dollars.
​
Every MBA school teaches the importance of considering your Return on Investment (ROI) when completing a cost-benefit analysis. If a restaurant hires an additional burger flipper, for example, they can increase the number of burgers sold per hour and then directly compare the value that is added by hiring another person.
​
Alternatively, they can send their existing burger flippers to Advanced Burger Flipper Training™ in order to increase the productivity of extant employees. In terms of ROI, corporations consider the cost of the options, how each results in additional revenue, and which choice represents the soundest financial decision (in theory).
