The Nonprofit Alliance’s Post

Sending up my semi-annual-ish warning flag for staff and boards of #nonprofits #foundations #philanthropy offices. #Trust in our sector has been declining and mistrust is driven by factors such as age, politics, faith, and rural/urban. I encourage you to read and discuss this new report from Independent Sector & Edelman. It delivers the tough news and provides action items to rebuild trust within the communities you serve. https://lnkd.in/d6HSdvpx

Public trust is the currency of the nonprofit (and heck, social impact) sector. The public’s belief that nonprofits will “do the right thing” is one of the central reasons the sector exists. Communities have relied upon nonprofits to provide education, culture, life-sustaining services, environmental stewardship, and places of refuge for centuries. In today’s highly polarized environment, understanding and managing trust have never been more important for organizations to own their license to operate, lead, and succeed. How do we make others *trust* us, and the work we do each day?

In the nonprofit sector, effective volunteer management is crucial for mission fulfillment. Our new blog post explores key strategies to retain and fully engage your volunteers. Understand their motivation, communicate effectively, and appreciate their contributions to make a significant impact.

Do You fully understand the significance of elected officials' role to your nonprofit organization? Elected officials' involvement in your nonprofit's journey is paramount. They wield the power to influence policy decisions, allocate crucial resources, and shape the regulatory landscape in which you operate. Their support can unlock opportunities for funding, collaborations, and advocacy initiatives that propel your mission. Think of them as the bridge connecting your nonprofit to the broader community. They can help you forge profound partnerships, connect with potential donors, and raise awareness about your invaluable work. Their engagement can elevate your nonprofit's credibility and impact, drawing more supporters to your cause.

Starting an outreach for fathers? Here are three tips: • START WITH YOUR SPHERE: Begin with your current connections. Men’s ministry is all about relationships, so don’t try to build a new program from the ground up. Invite the men already in your sphere of influence, and eventually, they will invite their friends as well. • CHOOSE THE RIGHT LEADER: Wait for a volunteer or staff member who is truly passionate about serving fathers, and then equip him with everything he needs. • SET FATHERS UP FOR SUCCESS: Any event serving fathers should be “no-fail.” Try to build your initial events around activities rather than conversation. When fathers feel successful, they are more likely to come back. Learn more at https://lnkd.in/grDfrrVu #Fathers #Equip #Ministry #NonProfit

A fully packed event with lots of insight from the panelists. More of these conversations please!

The majority of volunteers choose to contribute to organizations whose goals and values resonate deeply with their own personal convictions and passions. For nonprofits, this underscores the importance of clearly communicating their mission to attract and retain dedicated volunteers.
