They also require a lot of time and effort from staff and there’s no guarantee your donors will even look at them. What do you do? Organizations need to share accomplishments and show gratitude to their donors, but is the “annual report” the way to do that?

Every nonprofit has a Board of Directors. Yet most people don’t understand exactly what the Board’s job is. And this is a problem. You see, it means that hundreds of people are sitting on nonprofit Boards and have NO IDEA what they said “yes” to. It’s surprising. And concerning. Unfortunately, there’s no “Board School” to send people to when they join a Board, so new members just do the best they can, following the lead of seasoned Board members.
