27. How to Collaborate to Make Your Nonprofit Stronger Nov 12, 2018

Show notes

You've probably heard a dozen and half times that nonprofits need to stop duplicating services...but that's a lot easier said than done. There's also a lot more that goes into successful nonprofit work than just trying to be different for the sake of being different. We need to shift our focus back to our mission. When we do that, we realize we really need to work together to create lasting change. This episode talks about collaborating with other nonprofit agencies to make your own nonprofit stronger.

25. Nontraditional Volunteers You've Forgotten About Oct 29, 2018

Show notes

If you're struggling to find new sources for volunteers, or suffer from frequent volunteer turnover, you need to start looking at these two types of nontraditional volunteers. Learn from nonprofit leaders who regularly recruit and retain volunteers with special needs, and volunteers under the age of 18.

24. Planned Giving Campaigns -- Getting started and improving yours Oct 22, 2018

Show notes

Learn how to set up your first planned giving campaign, or improve the one you already have in place. While most nonprofit professionals know what planned giving is, and some may even have an initiative started at their organization, many nonprofits fail to make strategic asks for planned gifts and lose out on gifts 200-300 times the size of their normal donations.

23. Strategic Plans and How to Make Them Jul 25, 2018

Show notes

This is the last episode of Season 2! A strategic plan guides your nonprofit through the next stage of growth, or can help you through a transition, such as a leadership change or a shift in your mission. But most nonprofit professionals and board members will only go through the strategic planning process a couple of times in their lives...if at all. This episode will talk you through the strategic planning process.

My guests this episode are: --George Hsieh from Community Resource Exchange --Corey Gephart from St. Luke's Community House

22. Google Ad Grant Questions Jul 18, 2018

Show notes

The Google Ad Grant isn't a normal grant, because you don't get any actual money from it--but it offers amazing benefits for your organization by giving you $10,000 of free search engine advertisements every single month, for the rest of time. In this episode, a Google Ad Grant manager answers all kinds of questions about how you can use Google ads to grow your volunteer, client, and donor lists, as well as basic information about the grant itself.

21. Two Types of Grants Jul 11, 2018

Show notes

In this episode, I chat with two grant reviewers who work with community giving circles and community foundations to learn how their review processes work.

19. When Controversy Threatens Your Nonprofit Jun 20, 2018

Show notes

Sometimes controversial issues such as gun control, LGBTQ issues, racism, unplanned pregnancy, and political elections can cause division among your nonprofit's supporters and team members. It can be extremely stressful to feel like you could lose a major funding source, public favor, and staff and board members over one controversial issue. In this episode, I chat with Executive Directors who navigate these issues on a daily basis in their organizations.

My guests this episode include: --Lindsey Harris from Tenn. Immigrants and Refugee Rights Coal. --Renee Rizzo from Hope Clinic for Women

18. How I Became CEO Jun 13, 2018

Show notes

It's only been in the last decade or so that professionals have started to aspire to become CEOs and Executive Directors of nonprofit organizations… In the past, many nonprofit leaders have stumbled into the nonprofit sector without initially realizing they were creating a long-term career for themselves. Now, however, many professionals new to the nonprofit field see these senior leadership positions as their dream jobs. In this episode, I chat with two nonprofit Executive Directors about how they earned their current positions. My guests this episode include: --Joyce Lavery from Safe Haven Family Shelter --Lisa Steele from Carpenter's Square Plus, don't miss my Anonymous Q&A segment where I answer a question from an anonymous listener, and my Submit A Brag segment where I highlight an outstanding nonprofit professional.
