I came across the above graph when I was reading Big Duck's newsletter. You should really sign up for it. I always find something useful and interesting.

Building a non-profit website might be the most intimidating aspect of launching an organization. It’s the digital face of your organization and where many people interact with you for the first time. The experience people have on your non-profit website will influence what they think about you and if they think they can trust you. That means that what your website looks like and how easy it is to use can impact someone’s decision to give.

If your site is out of date, you’re missing out on valuable support from your visitors.

Boards come in all sizes and shapes. They meet with some regularity and need ways to prepare for those meetings. While some boards go the route of emailing all of their pre-reads, this is hardly considered a best practice. The reason why I don’t recommend this approach is simple enough: email is not your friend. Most people don’t manage their email well and others lack the skills to search with any efficacy.
