- In the course of our work we are frequently helping clients adjust to new roles, whether it’s training board or staff how to solicit major donors or how to manage staff and board relationships, or anything in between. Frequently they respond by saying they don’t feel authentic in their new role. It doesn’t feel like them. So in their honor we share this thoughtful article.
- Whether you are doing strategic planning or crafting a fundraising plan, one of the biggest questions for non-profits today is how to engage the next generation of leaders and donors. This insightful article from Forbes magazine provides some clarity on how you might start to reach out and engage the much coveted Millennials.
