The Overwhelm We Share by Nell Edgington

The Overwhelm We Share

June 18, 2021 By Nell Edgington Leave a Comment

If you are feeling — as we hit the middle of 2021, a year almost as difficult as 2020 — exhausted, overwhelmed, worn out, you are not alone.  Because I see you. I see you hang up after a call with a discouraging funder and put your head in your hands. I see you reliving […]

Listen to These Podcasts On Fixing Social Change

May 20, 2021 By Nell Edgington Leave a Comment

I have been having so much fun making the rounds of social change, philanthropy and nonprofit-related podcasts. Many amazing podcast hosts have generously invited me on their shows to talk about my new book Reinventing Social Change: Embrace Abundance to Create a Healthier and More Equitable World and how the way we do social change […]

Where Are You Giving Away Your Social Change Power? by Nell Edgington

Where Are You Giving Away Your Social Change Power?

May 14, 2021 By Nell Edgington Leave a Comment

As a nonprofit leader, you are likely suffering under the delusion that you have little power. For far too long, nonprofit leaders have been operating from the (incorrect) belief that they are largely powerless to impact much beyond their own boardroom (and sometimes not even there). I talked about the philanthropic side of this feeling […]

What If Philanthropy Were Fearless?

May 6, 2021 By Nell Edgington Leave a Comment

I was talking with a foundation leader the other day who was bogged down with the trauma of the past year – or years, decades even – of blows to progressive social change. He was worn down, disillusioned, demoralized. He felt powerless in the face of what seems, to him, to be a growing list […]

Why I Decided to Leave Facebook and Twitter

April 22, 2021 By Nell Edgington Leave a Comment

So I did something scary this week. I deleted my Facebook and Twitter accounts. This is something I’ve wanted to do for a long time (years, honestly). But I was afraid. I was afraid that if I did, people wouldn’t be able to find me, I’d miss important conversations, I’d feel left out, that it […]

Embracing Abundant Social Change by Nell Edgington

Social Change Leaders, Take a Leap of Faith With Me

April 16, 2021 By Nell Edgington Leave a Comment

We had a really great training earlier this week, The Roadmap to Abundance. In that training, I announced a unique online course I’m offering that will guide you step-by-step away from the exhausting hampster wheel of never having enough, to the effortless abundance of all of the money, people, power, and influence you need to […]

You Don’t Have to Be Stuck in Scarcity

April 8, 2021 By Nell Edgington Leave a Comment

“I am so stuck!” said a nonprofit leader to me last week. She reached out to me because she’d been at a stagnant level of revenue for years, the board was disengaged, funders had lost interest, and they weren’t achieving their mission.  They were STUCK! So here’s what I said to her, and I say […]

I’m so excited to announce a new, free training that will show you your roadmap to attracting all the abundance you need to achieve your social change goals.

Your Social Change Work Can Be So Much Easier

Your Social Change Work Can Be So Much Easier

March 25, 2021 By Nell Edgington Leave a Comment

We as humans are so good at making things hard, aren’t we? I know I am. Not to brag or anything, but I am incredibly talented at pushing so hard on something that I not only wear myself out, but also make the task so much longer and more difficult.  For some reason we often […]
