Giving can make you happy. Several studies have already shown that giving has positive effects on happiness. You are not only working to make yourself a happier person but also making others happier. Ultimately, you create a happier world for everyone. What's one small act of kindness you've witnessed that had a big impact on a nonprofit or its beneficiaries? #PureMomentumConsulting #NonProfitLeaders #NonProfitManagement #Sustainability #BuildingCapacity #NonProfitLeadership #Philanthropy #SocialImpact #Giving #ActOFGiving

Today's Splendid Tip of the Day focuses on your nonprofit's website. Is the About Page a missed opportunity? After all, the team who make your mission a reality every day may be who donors want to invest in. Share everyone's names (even just first names) and a picture or avatar to bring these good people to life for visitors. See if staff will share photos in their favorite setting outside of work. (Headshots outside of corporate HQ with the same background and pose for every worker don't show off your creativity as an organization.) Try adding answers to a standard set of questions for each individual such as Pie or Cake? What do you do for fun? What part of your nonprofit mission speaks to them the most? #fundraisingtips #cultivation #nonprofitcommunications #philanthropy #inclusion

They tell you all the time, "chase the money, buy the things!" ... But let's be honest, those fancy cars and big houses don't mean a thing without good people by your side. Real wealth? It's the kind you can't put a price tag on. It's late-night talks with your best friend, the proud smile on your mentee's face, the difference you see in your community because YOU stepped up. THAT'S what really matters. This stuff – the building impact part – that's what makes my soul sing. But you don't have to do it alone. The Nonprofit Road Map course is your cheat sheet. Think about it: without it, you're left trying to piece together information from all over, hoping you don't make costly mistakes, feeling overwhelmed before you even start. This course cuts through all that, giving you the proven steps to build a sustainable nonprofit that makes a real difference. Want in?

Anyone plan to talk about giving at the holiday table this week? I know some topics may be off the table, but hopefully not giving. (Although I know sometimes this can get dicey depending on who you're giving to. Let's set that aside for the moment though.) Thanksgiving is a great time to talk about what we're grateful for and that often includes nonprofits in our community or organizations that have impacted our lives. So take some time to talk about these organizations and what they mean to you and how they make our lives better. And then talk about making gifts before year end! If anyone feels stumped or overwhelmed by all the choices, let them know you have the perfect thing for them--GET READY TO GIVE!--a year-end giving workshop to help people get ready to make those gifts. Hope to see you and maybe some family members there! #giving #philanthropy #philanthropyadvisor

"Your small act of kindness may not change the world, but it can change someone's world." – Unknown This quote is a beautiful reminder that nonprofit work is about touching lives, even if it’s one person at a time. While it may feel like your work isn’t making a huge impact globally, to the individuals you help, it can mean everything. Nonprofit work is personal, and each small kindness adds up to creating a more compassionate world. #nonprofitwork #touchinglives #touchlives #addsup #changetheworld #SVPSA

Prepping today for a meeting with a family next week. We're starting to talk through how they evaluate nonprofits for funding. I love conversations like these because they highlight what's important to each family. In particular, this family values EFFECTIVENESS. So part of my role is to help them define this. I'm curious...how would you define effectiveness? #philanthropy #giving #philanthropyadvising #effectiveness

We all have things that matter to us. Families. Friends. Faith. Future Plans. And for nonprofiteers we also often have all of the above + a Mission that matters to us. We are working to build something bigger than ourselves, contributing towards lasting change in the world AND getting paid for it. (often not paid enough, but that's another post.) But talking about this work, nonprofit work, can be tough. Your friends and family might not get your "why". Your mission might seem pie in the sky or hard to believe in. So The Nonprofit Hive hopes members will find a person to share their missions with. Share about where they put their 9-5 time, possibly also their evenings and weekends. What are you excited to share in your Hive Chats nonprofit pro??? #networking #nonprofit #philanthropy #connection #community
