By Annisa Wanat , an independent consultant who works to strengthen the capacity of mission-driven organizations to achieve their goals more strategically by providing customized solutions in leadership, management, and communications. Most nonprofit board members volunteer because they want to support a worthy cause.

Nonprofit communicators are full of anxiety right now about messaging, from what to say, to how often, and where to say it. Let’s get two common questions out the way. Should we stop messaging if our work has nothing to do with coronavirus? No, you should keep talking about what you know best and what your supporters still care about too, even if it’s not necessarily top of mind right now.

With more and more countries, states, and cities enforcing at-home isolation and the financial markets falling, fundraising is definitely harder. But of the worst things I kept hearing from clients was "We don't think this is the right time to ask for money.". My general response? How dare you make a giving decision for a donor! It's up to the donor to tell you whether she wants to give or not.

Why are stories so powerful? Humans have been telling stories for much longer than we have been writing them down. We are hardwired not only to tell our own stories, but also to be drawn to the stories of others. It is through stories that we understand new contexts, relate to one another, solidify our learning, and perhaps most importantly, enjoy ourselves in the process.

Kivi originally shared what hygge is and this helpful list back in November of 2018. But first off, let’s define hygge: Hygge is the Danish concept of coziness, comfort, warmth, and charm that gets Danes through the long, cold, dark winters. It’s about enjoying and indulging in the small things, even when the environment around you is much less hospitable or pleasurable.

Have you ever wondered how nonprofits have been able to launch successful campaigns via Google Ads when many operate with limited budgets? It's all thanks to the Google Ad Grant program, a program from Google that offers $10,000 a month in ad credits to eligible nonprofit organizations. While the program offers an incredible opportunity for nonprofits, many organizations find it difficult to run their account and remain in good standing giving Google's requirements.

Getting your messages out is never easy. But in the midst of the COVID-19 outbreak, just like everything else, it’s gotten a whole lot harder. Your nonprofit organization needs to continue communicating regularly with your donors. Information overload is an understatement right now. Besides, your donors are going through a lot. They may miss your initial message, if they’re even looking at their email and social media platforms at all.

I've been arguing for several years now that civil society is dependent on digital systems, which are not neutral, designed with civil society in mind, or inately democratizing. Our dependence on digitized data, commercial software and hardware, and global communications networks lays bare the fallacy that nonprofits/foundations, donations of money, community organizations, political activism, informal associational life, mutual aid networks, kinship care - any of the activities that take place
