👋 Remember that Day of Giving earlier this year? 📆 Whether it was the Giving Challenge in Southwest Florida or a similar event elsewhere, how have you stewarded those donors? 🤔 If you're not sure, look into it before you reach out for your year-end appeal. NOW is the time to share the impact of their contribution - no ask, just reporting.

It doesn't have to be a perfect, polished video or a professionally designed report. Just a simple story to illustrate how they made a difference (not for the organization, but for the beneficiaries.)

Here are a few ideas to try, thanks to our friends at CauseVox. If you need help developing your process for donor communications, contact us for a complimentary strategy session!

👇🏼This is one of the most difficult parts of a nonprofit leader's job - learning how to work with a new boss every time a new chair enters the role. What can make it easier?
1 - Knowing what is and isn't your responsibility.
2 - Understanding each other's communication style.
3 - Adopting a "clear is kind" mentality.

What else would you add?🤔

In times of change and unpredictability, a firm partnership between the chief executive and board chair is essential for keeping your organization focused on its mission.

This partnership is vital for sharing information, addressing challenges, and moving forward together with clarity about individual and collective responsibilities.

Our resource explores key leadership practices that strengthen this board chair/CEO relationship and highlights what to avoid—like micro-managing or micro-governing. When the external world is uncertain, your internal leadership alignment can make all the difference.

Sometimes we all need some extra TLC. We should all aspire to be leaders who understand that and offer support to their staff.

Adults could benefit from it too! What if managers invited people to use this code when they’re facing personal challenges?
