Love this update. Please take advisory councils seriously. They are not: 💀 The final resting place of board members who should otherwise step down 😣 A "pipeline" for "young" "diverse" "wealthy" or other profile of a person that you should probably work to better clarify and just recruit and retain on the board. 💸 An "easy" way to fundraise. Advisory councils MAY do some of the above, but whatever your intention with creating one, it requires time, talent, and resources. Treat it accordingly.

Efforts to make federal #grantmaking to #nonprofits more accessible are appreciated, but new the guidance is far from equitable. 🔍 Key Points: 👍 Language Inclusivity: English is removed as the sole language for notices of funding opportunities, applications, and reports 👍 Simplified Reporting: The reporting process is streamlined and audit threshold increased 😕 Indirect Cost Rate Concerns: The increase in the de minimis indirect cost rate from 10% to 15% is still not nearly enough to cover essential program expenses 👎 Exclusionary Matching Requirements: Continuing matching funds requirements disadvantage smaller nonprofits disproportionately led by women and people of color 👎 Technical Assistance Gap: The exclusion of nonprofits from technical assistance opportunities available to for-profit business remains a critical shortfall

Chasing Success: the Challenge for Nonprofits calls for improved collaboration among nonprofit programs and for strengthened community systems, including more cooperative thinking and action not only among those funding and implementing programs but also among those setting policy, conducting research and engaging communities as partners in change. Today, far too often, nonprofit programs compete for resources and visibility--- without a focus on cooperation and the funding to sustain collaboration, there could be good programs but not the centrality to take what has been learned, scale the initiative and serve more people---with quality and validated outcomes. Interdisciplinary partners could include, for example, business schools, community leaders, political scientists and housing experts based upon the problem that the organization is trying to solve--the content of the work will provide guidance.
