Is More Freedom Calling You?

January 13, 2022 By Nell Edgington Leave a Comment

Happy New Year, lovely ones! I am really excited for this new year. It feels to me (call me strange!) like something has deeply shifted – that we are being invited to step into a new level of freedom.  “Now, hold on a minute!” I can hear you saying, “Don’t you know there is a […]

How a Nonprofit Raised $18M with an Abundance Mindset by Nell Edgington

How a Nonprofit Raised $18M with an Abundance Mindset

November 11, 2021 By Nell Edgington Leave a Comment

​I love it so much when a fundraiser shifts their mindset from scarcity to abundance and then attracts a huge money windfall. This happened again for another one of my clients just the other day, let’s call him “Bob.”   Bob emailed me to tell me that the shift I helped him make to an abundance […]

Stop Just Reacting To Your Funders

November 4, 2021 By Nell Edgington Leave a Comment

A funny thing happened to a nonprofit leader the other day.  A funder called to let the Executive Director know that their funding priority areas had changed again (Ugh!). So, the ED quickly moved into program development mode to see if she could adapt to keep this funder happy.  Not funny, right?  And it didn’t […]

Use Your Gut to Overcome the Fear Holding You Back

October 28, 2021 By Nell Edgington Leave a Comment

Last week I gave you a quick tool for making hard decisions.  But did you know that when you’re agonizing over a tough decision what’s actually happening is that your brain and your gut are at war? Your gut knows the right path forward, but your brain is throwing up all kinds of roadblocks, usually […]

Nonprofit Leaders, You are Worthy of So Much More by Nell Edgington

Nonprofit Leaders, You are Worthy of So Much More

October 21, 2021 By Nell Edgington Leave a Comment

Let me be honest for a second. As a social change leader you are the victim of so many defeating messages, on likely a daily basis. If you’re like a lot of my clients, you probably don’t even realize how much you’ve internalized these messages.  As a society, we say things to nonprofit leaders like:  […]

October 14, 2021 By Nell Edgington Leave a Comment

Hey nonprofit leaders, I know you constantly face really critical decisions, like: “Should I grow this program?” “Should I go after this funding opportunity?” “Should I recruit this new board member?” So I recorded a video with a quick tool you can use when you are facing a hard decision. Take a look:   And, remember, […]

Does Your Nonprofit’s Culture Attract or Repel Money?

October 7, 2021 By Nell Edgington Leave a Comment

My guess is that you want to attract more money for your mission. Who doesn’t, right?  But to do that you need to cultivate a Culture of Mission and Money among your board, staff, and funders.  Does your nonprofit have one?  Here are some key things present in a nonprofit with a robust culture of […]

Want to Kiss Self Doubt Goodbye by Nell Edgington

Want to Kiss Self Doubt Goodbye?

September 30, 2021 By Nell Edgington Leave a Comment

Did you know that self doubt is one of the biggest hurdles you face? Truly. You think your funders, your board members, your staff, or policymakers are a tough crowd? I bet your toughest crowd is actually you, yourself. You know what I’m talking about. It’s that voice that wakes you up in the middle […]

Take Your Power Back from Your Funders by Nell Edgington

Take Your Power Back from Your Funders

September 23, 2021 By Nell Edgington Leave a Comment

The thing I love best about my work is seeing absolute transformation.  It’s so exciting to see someone who is working to make the world a better place step out of the shadows and into her tremendous power. I saw this transformation again the other day with one of my clients — “Mina”.  Mina came […]
