Scale care, not just operations. Nonprofits often face a challenge: balancing growth with personalized care. It's easy to prioritize efficiency and systems, but remember, your core mission is serving people, not streamlining processes. Prioritize the Individual Experience: Personalize: Each person has unique needs. Tailor your approach as much as possible. Assess & Listen: Systematically gather feedback about their specific situations and how well you're meeting their needs. Leverage AI: Use AI language models (LLMs) to analyze feedback and uncover insights to improve your service. By focusing on data-driven personalization, you can scale your impact while maintaining the human touch that sets your nonprofit apart. Great nonprofit stories that inspire are never from how an organization became more efficient, but always about how a person a part of a great nonprofit went above and beyond to help someone in need. If your nonprofit has a story like this it wants to share through film or television go to our profile and hit the "Get Started" button It's not just about helping more people, but helping each person more effectively. #nonprofitgrowth #nonprofitleader #nonprofitcause #faithbasednonprofit #nonprofittips

About a third of #nonprofit news outlets are using artificial intelligence to benefit their organization, according to survey data from the Institute for Nonprofit News' annual Index survey. By this time next year, this AI-using cohort will likely grow to more than half of the sector.

While AI is often discussed as a disruptive force, there's one clear takeaway: it can be a powerful tool when used to enhance capabilities, rather than replace them. For nonprofits, operational efficiency and maximizing resources is often the line between thriving and merely surviving. Argenta equips your organization with the tools it needs to streamline operations, boost effectiveness, and grow your mission.

It was the end of a long workday, and as I was getting ready to shut down my office, I remembered that I had a blog post to write. My brain was fried, and I couldn’t think of a good hook or story. Heck, I couldn’t even string together enough words to come up with a creative opening line. So, I turned to AI. With just a simple, two-sentence prompt, I had the bones of a great blog post. Sure, I read the whole thing, deleted a few bits here and there, and then added all my personal touches. It took some brain power, but the amount of time it saved me from staring at a blank screen for inspiration to strike was IMMENSE! Would I use AI to write an entire federal grant proposal? I haven’t yet. Can’t imagine I will ever do that. But for things like a blog post, social media posting, portions of a grant application when I’m feeling stuck, and other things that aren’t as formal, why not give it a whirl? Have you dipped your toe into the world of AI? If so, how did you start? And what’s your preferred platform? ********************************************************************************* Hi, I’m Amanda!

When we collect data without thinking about who is left out, we perpetuate inequities. We fail to recognize that our data is not neutral (and perhaps it will never be). But that doesn’t mean we should not actively pursue a commitment to data equity. Because how we collect, analyze, and use it shapes our understanding of our communities. Let us try to create a “data equity” formula. Data Equity = design data collection WITH communities, not FOR them + focus data activities about the impact from the context over output numbers + make sure your data serves those who are often overlooked. If any part of the formula makes you uncomfortable, that’s good! It means you are getting ready to design a meaningful formula of your own. Remember, when we collect data without thinking about who is left out, we perpetuate inequities. #nonprofits #nonprofitleadership #community
