🚨 Part 2! Are you part of a 'we don't know anybody board?' "I have walked into warmer rooms, that is for sure. The school leadership had already assembled when I was brought into the boardroom, and they were hopeful that my report about their development operations wasn’t what they had anticipated..." 👉 Read the full post here: https://lnkd.in/ggvGJxnK #nonprofitorganizations #boardleadership #nonprofitfundraising

Here's an excellent article on different types of dysfunction on #nonprofit boards and how they might be addressed. Boards are critical to nonprofit leadership - that is quite literally their collective role! That's one reason that groups like BoardBuild that support and develop boards are so critical to sustainability and effectiveness in our sector. Shout out to Alex Counts for a great article! https://lnkd.in/gmbpeS7s

Ok, everyone. GabeCooper's (CEO of Virtuous) new book is so good that it deserves more posts! Part 1 dives into the detrimental effects of organizational silos within nonprofits and offers a practical roadmap to dismantle them. Here are 5 excellent steps listed in Part 1 to start breaking down silos: 1. Reward and openly celebrate honest feedback 2. Over-communicate 3. Practice active listening 4. Help your team and adjacent teams understand the "why" for decisions 5. Share both wins and challenges across teams I couldn't agree more with this approach! In fact, we are so passionate about dismantling silos our company logo at Social Impact Solutions is a visual representation of our dedication to breaking down silos to facilitate communication and growth. If you're ready to move beyond silos and unleash the full potential of your team, I highly recommend checking out Gabe's book. It's a game-changer! 📖✨ https://lnkd.in/gxjZ8C6G #nonprofits #GabeCooper #organizationalleadership #fundraising #virtuous #socialimpact #fundraising #collaboration #leadership

Succession planning in the nonprofit sector is a topic I've been passionate about and have discussed frequently here on LinkedIn. Having witnessed first-hand the critical role it plays in the sustainability and growth of nonprofits, I'm excited to dive deeper into this subject. Starting Tuesday, I'll be launching a new series #FutureReadyTuesday where every week I'll share my insights and advice specifically on succession planning. Stay tuned for more details, including an exciting announcement about an upcoming webinar I'll be hosting in September on this very topic. #SuccessionPlanning #NonProfit #Leadership #Webinar #NonProfitLeadership

I'm reviewing some findings from a national research project a couple of colleagues are completing. I'm struck by the frequency of conflict, disengaged or entrenched leaders, and the divides in so many nonprofits. It's remarkable, and not in a good way. Though it takes an intervention (often by an outside party), the problems are easily identified via data-driven processes, and the (not as easy) path forward becomes clear for decision-makers. If you're a board member at such a place and you know that you and your colleagues would like to change things, shoot me a DM, and we can discuss some next steps. #conflict #nonprofits #wearestuck #ideologicaldivides #wearejustdivided #leadershipgap #resistingchange #boardmember #boardofdirectors

Nonprofit leaders in/near OKC - consider joining me for the next installment of Regent Bank's Nonprofit Leadership Series, on Wednesday, August 28! Regent Bank generously provides this breakfast event to nonprofit leaders at no cost. 💡 I'll be walking us through a session on Measuring Metrics that Matter. Many non-profit leaders lean on value-based metrics as a way to keep track of their fundraising efforts. However, when these metrics aren't aligned with building meaningful donor relationships, they can stress your fundraising team without delivering the results you want. What you measure and how you measure can also blind you to hidden problems that are stifling growth. In this presentation, we'll discuss how to measure metrics that matter, ways to view your data to gain key insights, and how you can use data to set your fundraising team up for success.

January is planning time for many organizations. That means many of us are spending time establishing, reviewing, or refreshing the Key Performance Indicators (KPI's) that we'll measure the year on. Last year our team at DickersonBakker surveyed hundreds of nonprofit leaders across dozens of organizations. We talked to CEO's, Chief Financial Officers, Chief Development Officers, Development Directors, Fundraisers (of all types), and even some program and operations folks inside nonprofits. One of the most interesting things we learned in our study, A Better Way: A National Study of Nonprofit Leadership & Fundraising in a Rapidly Changing World, is that a majority of nonprofit organizations are measuring the wrong indicators for success. In this short video I talk about why measuring the right KPI's is essential to success, and how you can think differently about measuring your organization's success in the coming year. #abetterway #nonprofit #keyperformanceindicators #kpis #strategy #insights #growth #2024 #fundraising

📚 The "2023 Nonprofit Leadership Impact Study" by NonProfit PRO has revealed a stark reality: an astonishing 70% of nonprofits are finding it a challenge to engage their board members in fundraising efforts. This statistic highlights a critical gap between the potential for impact and the execution of strategies within nonprofits. 💰 Fundraising is a vital artery that sustains the life of a nonprofit, allowing it to thrive and expand its mission. However, if board members—the very individuals who often have the networks, influence, and capacity to catalyze significant contributions—are not actively engaging in these efforts, nonprofits may find themselves consistently falling short of their goals. 🤔 We're curious to hear your thoughts: How can nonprofits better engage their board members in fundraising efforts? What strategies have you seen work, or how has the lack of board participation impacted the nonprofits you are passionate about? We're dropping a few ideas in the comments below. 📢 What would you add? #NonprofitManagement #BoardEngagement #NonprofitChallenges #FundraisingStrategies #NonprofitLeadership https://lnkd.in/eDU9S-KU
