In the same way that executives have a fiduciary duty to their shareholders, it stands to reason that a system of accountability for nonprofits could take shape in some form of fiduciary duty to the community. I appreciated the discussion brought forth in this article, as it is something more nonprofits should consider given changes and experimentations in governance structure aimed at refocusing organizational purpose. #Nonprofit #Justice #Finance #Leadership

Donor engagement can come from several places, but one of the core elements where organizations can improve their ability to engage donors lies in outreach and communication. Larger donors may take up more of the conversation, but there is still a community to be built with would-be donors if they find reasons to connect with a given organization. #Nonprofit #DonorEngagement Leadership

Organizations need to be paying close attention to the needs of their employees. When people are supported in their workplace, they are more willing to build community and engage with the work at hand. Many of the biggest challenges those in nonprofit HR face come from a misalignment of expectations. This misalignment is best addressed through transparency. #Nonprofit #Justice #HR #Leadership

If you want to engage with donors, you need to start by meeting them where they're at. In many cases, people are willing to donate impulsively to address unmet needs in their community. Many would-be donors are less moved by yearly events and luncheons and are instead inspired by examples of real-life community impact. #Nonprofit #Finance #DonorEngagement

Nonprofit leaders need to demonstrate why their organization is to be trusted. In today's landscape, larger nonprofits have special attention directed at them in the wake of major scandals in the sector. This operates very differently from the private sector where wrongdoing may lead consumers to a competitor, whereas negative news can dissuade donations altogether in the nonprofit space. That isn't to say people aren't donating, instead, they're looking for other ways to make their charitable donations by giving to smaller nonprofits or directly to people they already have prior relationships with. #Nonprofit #Finance #Justice

How are you engaging donors? An email list is one common way that nonprofits communicate with their community, but many organizations can take it a step further by integrating their social channels. I'm not talking about simply making a TiKTok or a X/Twitter page to post updates, instead, I suggest nonprofits leverage the power of social media to connect with the people regularly posting within their own community. Think of it less like advertising for fundraising and instead building relationships with those already engaged in community building online. #Nonprofit #Finance #Fundraising
