tnpadmin2023-08-30T16:24:18-04:00

Sometimes there’s a story we tell collectively. When nonprofit colleagues were asked for their candid suggestions on how to avoid burnout, they got right to the core. Having worked in the trenches in some way with each of these pros reconfirmed for me that there’s nothing like the camaraderie and resourcefulness of those who work in this sector. We can’t do it alone, but we can certainly get through the demands and unexpected challenges of this work with dignity, recognition, and zeal. 10 Tricks to Avoid Burnout 1. Stay on mission.

Have you ever found yourself in a situation where you made a job offer, the candidate accepted, and then quit, before the first day of employment rolled around? If so, you aren’t alone. The 2018 Nonprofit Salaries & Staffing Trends Report from PNP Staffing Group shares that a remarkable 36% of nonprofits surveyed found themselves in this predicament last year. As if it couldn’t get worse, 33% of the survey respondents said they had a candidate accept, start on the job, but then resign within the first three months of employment. So what’s causing the problem? As the economy has [...]

10 Benefits that ONLY Nonprofits Can Bring to Partnership

tnpadmin2017-04-03T02:12:58-04:00

Bruce Burtch promises: “There is nothing in business today that provides as much economic and social benefit, on as many levels, to as many stakeholders, as a strategic partnership between any combination of the nonprofit, for-profit, education and government sectors when focused on the greater good. Nothing else comes even close.” Burtch describes a sea-change occurring in nonprofit and for-profit relationships and the “money boat” of philanthropy and event sponsorship is being washed away. In this “new normal”, for-profits are realizing that they need to receive mutual value in the equation (not a financial return, necessarily, but a return on their [...]

tnpadmin2017-03-08T00:11:05-05:00

Originally posted on the Gurus NYC Blog. Reposted with permission. Nonprofits have an extremely tough time keeping up with technology. How do we know? Let’s take a look at some data. Last year Content Marketing Institute did a study where they surveyed over 400 nonprofit marketers: Only 26% of respondents think their organization effectively utilizes content marketing (to make things worse, a measly 1% thought their efforts were ‘very effective’). Less than half of everyone surveyed say meetings are valuable and actually improve their organization’s content marketing efforts. Respondents were also asked to rate the effectiveness of each tactic separately: These are the [...]

8 Wonderful Ways to Keep Your Volunteers Coming Back 1. Thank your volunteers and thank them again. Show appreciation in varied ways and always mention those who make your organizational successful. 2. Rewards. People react to many motivations.

3 Reasons You Need to Stop Rolling Your Eyes When You Hear: “Millennial”

tnpadmin2017-01-24T00:24:22-05:00

I know there has been a lot of talk about “Millennials” over the past couple of years. So much so, in fact, that I’ve noticed a bit of “push back” from folks when they hear the word uttered. It’s almost like that hit song that first went viral, then got overplayed, then got parodied by everyone in animated holiday videos and finally got to the point where people just didn’t care about it anymore. (Sorry, Carly Rae Jepsen!) So, if need be, grab a wooden spoon to bite into and help you get through this post-- because there are some really [...]
