After tapping the screen with her credit card, she was prompted to leave a tip, which she did. As we walked back to the car with our food, I asked why she had left a tip.

One of the biggest red-herrings I see nonprofit boards pursue is a pipe dream of “self sufficiency” for their nonprofit. Rather than pursuing their mission, the board directs the executive director to look at selling things and renting things in a quixotic attempt to be financially independent. It’s as though they see fundraising as a “stop gap” solution.

What’s reasonable compensation for a chief executive officer (CEO)? In the last couple decades, news of golden parachutes and the minting of new billionaires has drawn attention to executive compensation practices.

Everyone likes to feel appreciated and that includes your donors. In fact, thanking your donors should be a priority for your nonprofit organization. Is that the case? Often the answer is no. Thanking your donors is not just something you do after you receive a donation and then do nothing for a while. Gratitude is something you need to show all year round and with Valentine’s Day coming up, that’s a great opportunity to thank your donors and show them how much you appreciate their support.

You feel as if you weren’t meant for the world, or the world wasn’t meant for you, as if the world is “the way it is” and your discomfort with it a problem. So you get timid. You get quiet about what you see.

The goal is to create a straightforward, accessible survey so nonprofits would no longer have to provide specialized diversity information for each of their donors.
