Last year, as the pandemic stretched on, the team at Vanguard Charitable contacted our approximately 25,000 donors to ask them about their giving priorities. The response was clear: In that moment, our donors were focused most on hunger and homelessness in the United States, two interwoven problems that have been greatly exacerbated by the ripple effects of COVID-19. .

Reprinted from Big Duck. A new year brings a commitment to change and improvement for many people. With that in mind, we’d like to kick off 2022 by actively questioning the use of certain words—and what is meant—so that we can continue to improve by phasing out terms that might be overused, harmful, or inaccurate. Some of the items on this list may not seem inherently negative, but it’s important to recognize and understand where they could cause unintended damage or disservice.

One of the oddest things about leadership is in the Western model is that, you lose positional supervision just as your decisions are having far more consequences.

I’ve said it before. Fundraising is all about making sure your supporters feel good. Of course, that’s easier said than done—especially when you consider how your wealthy donors feel about cost.

That makes it so we fail to understand two simple facts: Wealthy people care a lot about cost.

My answer came quickly enough, "that not enough teams have a single project management tool in place." If using a tool for project management is a foreign concept, you're not alone. Many nonprofits, whether they be church staffs, school faculty or soup kitchens do not implement a project management approach to their work and yet, they should.
