Over the years, I’ve realized the importance of keeping things simple. This is even more important now during this time of chaos and uncertainty. I’m sure you’re experiencing those both professionally and personally. I often find pleasure in simple things such as taking a walk, reading (I’ve found the Thursday Murder Club series to be a nice escape right now), and doing yoga.

Nonprofits are under more pressure than ever to demonstrate financial accountability while continuing to expand their impact. Traditional budgeting models often fall short, reinforcing silos, limiting flexibility, and stalling growth. Enter collaborative budgeting: a dynamic, team-driven process that enables smarter resource allocation and builds financial resilience at scale.

If you’ve ever wondered why your nonprofit’s emails aren’t making it into inboxes – or why some messages get more traction than others – it’s because inboxes work a lot like social media feeds now. Just like Facebook or Instagram only show you what they think you’ll care about, inbox providers like Gmail and Outlook are using user engagement signals to decide what lands in the inbox and what disappears into the void (also known as Promotions or Spam).

I have worked for many nonprofit organizations over the past 30 years. Their balance sheets were all very different; some had endowments of more than $20 million, and others were figuring out their payroll from month to month. But there was always one similarity they shared — almost all their planning and board dialogue centered around how to grow fundraising.

A great donor retention strategy isn’t about doing more. It’s about designing an experience donors want to come back to. If that sounds familiar, it should. Streaming platforms figured it out years ago: keep people watching by giving them just enough payoff to feel good— and just enough anticipation to keep them curious. Nonprofits can apply the same thinking.

Does the following scenario sound familiar? Your nonprofit implements a program, through which you gather valuable data and insights about the problem you’re trying to solve and the solutions that work (or don’t). But then you ask yourself: How can I share what I’ve learned with others in the field? Your findings may prove essential in developing effective solutions—but only if others are able to access that information and learn from your experience.

Traditional budgeting and forecasting methods can no longer keep pace with today’s rapidly evolving business environment. Static budgets, rigid annual forecasts, and outdated financial models limit an organization’s ability to adapt to market shifts and economic uncertainty.
