Creating more strategic, financially savvy, and confident nonprofit leaders and organizations.
March offered lots of insight about how philanthropy should respond in the age of Trump.

Add to that a growing interest in how to combat “fake news,” steps to creating a digital marketing strategy, […]
Note: As you know, I am taking a few weeks away from the blog to relax and reconnect with the world outside of social change.

In my eyes, December was about three main things: the After the Leap conference about moving nonprofits to manage to outcomes, predictions about how the social sector will evolve in 2014, and the impact of the second annual Giving Tuesday. Added to the mix were some demonstrations of the growing wealth inequality (a prediction for […]
I am out of town this week, so in my place I am offering you two interviews this month in my ongoing interview series.
