How to Move Your Nonprofit From Scarcity to Abundance

How to Move Your Nonprofit From Scarcity to Abundance

December 4, 2020 By Nell Edgington

In my last blog post, I talked about how making decisions from a place of fear is solidly rooting you in the world of scarcity. And that’s the last place you want your nonprofit and your social change work to be.  Yet, scarcity is such an omnipresent ethos in the social change sector — from […]

The Powerful Shift from Judgement to Curiosity

September 16, 2021 By Nell Edgington Leave a Comment

I am in love with a new (for me) TV show. I’m sure you’ve heard of it since I’m late to the game — “Ted Lasso” is about a lovable American leader of a troubled English soccer team. But really the show provides an example of how to go through life as a force of […]

You Can Release Yourself from The Broken Social Change System

July 1, 2021 By Nell Edgington Leave a Comment

I have said many times before that the social change system is broken. Because of deep historical, normative, and structural limits placed on social change leaders for decades, an overwhelming feeling of scarcity pervades the social change sector. Nonprofit leaders and funders alike believe that there simply is “never enough.” There is never enough money, […]

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 […]

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 […]

How To Ask For (and Receive) The Help Your Nonprofit Needs

February 10, 2021 By Nell Edgington Leave a Comment

So often in the nonprofit sector scarcity manifests as a lack of money — nonprofit leaders constantly bemoan the (perceived) fact that there just isn’t enough money to go around. But if we dig a little deeper, money is just a means to an end. Likely the first thing you would buy if an abundance […]

Move From Nonprofit Fundraising to Social Change Financing

January 14, 2021 By Nell Edgington Leave a Comment

Last week I talked about how to make money your new best friend. That is a mindset shift, which is the critical first piece, but then you need to start to use money in a MUCH BIGGER WAY.  I have said for years that traditional nonprofit fundraising is broken. So broken. Because if you think […]

What Does Your Nonprofit Really Want?

December 10, 2020 By Nell Edgington Leave a Comment

So, now that you know the power of the word “Yet” to move you from scarcity to abundance, it’s time to start thinking about what you really want. Perhaps the most egregious part of being stuck in scarcity is that you get so used to thinking there is never enough that you lose touch with […]

Fear is not a nonprofit's friend

Fear is Not Your Nonprofit’s Friend

November 12, 2020 By Nell Edgington Leave a Comment

I’m not gonna lie, last week was rough. As I know you are well aware, there was a palpable sense of fear and anxiety everywhere you looked. Even my friends in other countries reached out to say they, too, were watching our elections in the U.S. with fear and anxiety. No matter who you voted […]
