5 Nonprofit Trends to Watch in 2017

December 8, 2016 By Nell Edgington 1 Comment

It’s that time of year again, where we take a look back at the year drawing to a close, and forward to the year ahead. We all know that 2016 was rough (and if you want to wallow for a minute or two, check out John Oliver’s cathartic send off to 2016). But I am […]

10 Great Social Innovation Reads: July & Aug 2016

September 1, 2016 By Nell Edgington Leave a Comment

Since I was on vacation in late July and early August, I’m combining the last two months of great reads into one. The summer of 2016 certainly was a dark one. From continuing police violence against black men, to the shootings of police officers in Dallas and Baton Rouge, it seemed we were becoming a […]

10 Great Social Innovation Reads: April 2016

May 12, 2016 By Nell Edgington Leave a Comment

I’m a little late on my 10 great reads list this month because the GEO conference kept me busy, but there was lots going on in April. From the most pressing issues facing foundation leaders, to what history can tell us about new philanthropy and combatting xenophobia, to how nonprofits create economic value, to Millennials and social […]

10 Great Social Innovation Reads: June 2015

July 9, 2015 By Nell Edgington Leave a Comment

June was an amazing month in the world of social change. Most notably, the long fight for marriage equality was won with the Supreme Court’s ruling in Obergefell v. Hodges. It is moments like these where the long, arduous road towards social change makes sense. But that wasn’t all that was going on in the busy month of June. […]

Beyond Philanthropy As Usual: An Interview With Albert Ruesga

December 9, 2014 By Nell Edgington Leave a Comment

In today’s Social Velocity blog interview I’m talking with Albert Ruesga. Albert is the President and CEO of the Greater New Orleans Foundation, known for its leadership in the region after Hurricane Katrina. He serves as chair of Grantmakers for Effective Organizations (GEO) and sits on the Philanthropy for Social Justice and Peace steering committee. […]

10 Great Social Innovation Reads: October 2014

November 4, 2014 By Nell Edgington Leave a Comment

October was another interesting month in the world of social change. Continued efforts to make the nonprofit overhead myth history, a troubling report about the beloved American Red Cross, a dire prediction about Millennial philanthropy, some new models for scaling social change and connecting people to solutions in their community, and a call for funding for […]

What Social Change Requires

October 16, 2014 By Nell Edgington Leave a Comment

It is obvious to most in this country that our political system is quite broken. A gridlocked Congress, a shilling mainstream media, a checked-out electorate, and the list goes on. But last week I saw some hope. I participated in a really interesting gathering in Baltimore hosted by the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation. As part […]

Investing in Nonprofit Leadership: An Interview with Rick Moyers

September 15, 2014 By Nell Edgington 1 Comment

In this month’s Social Velocity interview, I’m talking with Rick Moyers, vice president for programs and communications at the Meyer Foundation in Washington DC – a regional grantmaker that is nationally recognized for its capacity-building programs. Rick is a co-author of the Daring to Lead 2006 and Daring to Lead 2011 national studies of nonprofit executive […]

10 Great Social Innovation Reads: August 2014

September 8, 2014 By Nell Edgington Leave a Comment

Between my own time away from social media in August, the general end of summer quiet, and of course, the glut of posts about the Ice Bucket challenge (of which I have already said my piece), my list of great reads in August is admittedly slim. But there was some interesting debate, most notably about “strategic philanthropy” and […]

First up is Robert Egger, founder of DC Central Kitchen and LA Kitchen, as well as the nonprofit sector advocacy group, CForward. He is a tireless advocate for the nonprofit sector, encouraging nonprofits to take their […]
