Here is my (very encouraging) summary: ➡️ The days of paying for “outcomes” are over. ➡️ Funders need to help charities be successful. ➡️  The sector needs unrestricted donations and trust to manage its own money. Paying for outcomes has forced the sector to become obsessed with the wrong type of growth. ➡️ When a company grows its customer base – it grows its income. ➡️ BUT when a charity grows its service users - it grows its costs.

The need for “investment into the whole organisation” has never been clearer. To be most effective charities need to grow: - Resilience - Investment into systems and processes - People - their development and diversity - Impact - Connectivity into wider networks - Reserves 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘀𝘂𝘀 𝗮𝗺𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗜 𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗸𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝘄𝗮𝘀: 👄 We all live in a world where the speed of change is now an expectation- so effective charities need to be agile. 👄 The more progressive funders (of all sizes) are focusing on how to help charities become more resilient. 👄 Having project money in the bank with a slither of core costs covered is NOT sustainable. ➡️ 𝗜𝗻 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗿𝘁, 𝗽𝗮𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗳𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝗻𝗹𝘆 – 𝗶𝘀 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝗽𝘂𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝗻 𝗮 𝗯𝗮𝗯𝘆 - 𝗶𝘁 𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗸𝘀 𝗴𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗯𝘂𝘁 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀𝗻’𝘁 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝗻 𝗶𝘁 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝘄𝗮𝗹𝗸...... 😕

We loved this years International Conference on Third Sector Research. Our founder, Angie Holzer, EdD, MBC and Beverli D. presented their research on the current situation of global access to nonprofit data and their project to make nonprofit data more transparent. Thank you International Society for Third Sector Research and Megan Haddock Margery Daniels - it was a lot of hard work.

I am honored to be included in Utah Business 30 Women to Watch. A big thank you to Utah Business for celebrating the achievements and hard work of this dynamic group of women. It is especially meaningful to stand alongside my dear friends and fellow honorees, Becki Wright and Dawn R. Ramsey, who inspire me with their leadership. In Melanie's May Editor's Letter, she references the power of mentors: "Find a role model, be a role model." I echo her wisdom. There have been critical moments along my professional path when I've leaned on the example of my mentors. Over the past two years, this has been empowering as my mentors have broadened my mindset. I'd like to share two pieces of advice that have helped me lead with conviction: "Keep your hands on your own steering wheel." — Ruth Todd "Barriers are only beginnings in disguise." — Rebecca Yeung Thank you to the judges and the Utah Business team for this recognition. I hope you will find strength and deep resilience from someone who inspires you. Together, let's continue to support and uplift one another on the journey.
