I didn’t set out to work in the nonprofit sector. I wanted to be a doctor. I was fascinated by the art and science of health care, but my first organic chemistry class confirmed that wasn’t my calling. It was risky changing my major two-thirds of the way through college. Many people tried to talk me out of it. Today, as I prepare to retire from full-time work, I can wholeheartedly say that dreadful organic chemistry class was one of the best things that ever happened to me.

At the end of 2022, we asked 1,000+ nonprofit professionals what worked well in 2022, what they believed would work well in 2023, and their general outlook on the current fundraising climate.

Sometimes you don’t know what you have until it’s gone. And for anyone who’s been using Google Optimize to optimize and a/b test their digital fundraising, that rings especially true. Because in case you haven’t heard … Google will be sunsetting Google Optimize on September 30 ! While this news is sure to cause stress for nonprofits that rely on the popular (and free) platform for their A/B testing needs, it doesn’t mean you should stop A/B testing altogether.

Issue 233 — June 26, 2023 I took a class in Tai Chi last weekend. The teacher started by describing the practice as “intentional movement.” Intentional movement is a useful framework for thinking about one’s own behavior as a leader and for interpreting or attempting to interpret the behavior of other leaders. Research for my 2010 book, No Excuses: 9 Ways Women Can Change How We Think About Power led me to distinguish between oppressive power over and generative power TO.

Static budgets, rigid annual forecasts, and outdated financial models limit an organization’s ability to adapt to market shifts and economic uncertainty.
