I would encourage you to get involved directly with a variety of nonprofits either as a staff member or volunteer. This real-world experience will help give important context to your research. Knowing the work firsthand is the best way to ensure that your recommendations are relevant and helpful. I know this doesn’t help you in the moment while… Read more

I co-founded a nonprofit that provides these kinds of services for other mission driven orgs. (https://www.structural-integrity.org/) If we can be helpful or you just want to talk it through, don’t hesitate to reach out! We also know some other folks working in the space that we can suggest if their expertise might be a better fit. Id’ say that…

I’m on the board of a nonprofit that has a new program requiring us to get more inventory management policies in place (loss control, shrinkage, cash on site, etc). Does anyone have a source for templates or resources for creating good policies on these topics? This is an area of financial management I have less experience in. Thank you in advance…

My best experience with CRMs is actually to use something that *isn’t* specifically tailored for fundraising. By siloing “fundraising” data in one system, it’s hard to see connections across teams and use the system to track information that is relevant to development, finance, operations, and program.

Personally, in managing finance and HR I found semi-monthly easiest to administer, because it’s easier to split things like monthly benefits premiums, cleaner when crossing calendar and fiscal years, and cleaner mapping to grant spend downs that track on a monthly basis. Also I think staff find it easier to know that their paycheck comes on…
