Ever wonder how data, bias, and personal stories shape the decisions we make? We rely on data every day to guide our choices, whether it's in parenting or nonprofit leadership. But how often do we question how that data is framed or who is telling the story behind it? Nicole Jamrozinski , founder of Ember 2 Action, discovered this firsthand while navigating medical decisions for her child. In a similar way, nonprofit leaders often face tough decisions influenced by data, expert recommendations, and the priorities of funders. But what happens when the voices closest to the issue aren’t heard? What stood out? ✅ Data isn't neutral - its framing can shift the entire narrative. ✅ The voices that shape decisions matter - who gets to tell the story? ✅ Intuition and lived experience are just as important as numbers. ✅ Transparency and empathy in presenting data create better, more inclusive decisions. Nicole breaks it all down in her latest article, showing how framing data thoughtfully can transform nonprofit decision-making and create more inclusive, impactful results. - https://lnkd.in/ejfm_ARZ What’s one way you’ve seen data shift a decision in your life or work? #nonprofitleadership #dataframing #socialimpact #storytelling #nonprofithive

Why face the challenges alone when you can grow together? For Jeremy Stern, Director of Partnerships at CauseMatch, the key to nonprofit success lies in collaboration and a strategic approach to growth. His perspective is rooted in overcoming the scarcity mindset often present in the sector. Jeremy’s words resonate deeply: "It's not just about the technology - it's about investing in growth. Yes, it may cost more upfront, but the return on investment in your impact is exponential." By shifting the focus from limitation to possibility, Jeremy proves that investing in strategy, tools, and people is the way forward in nonprofit work.
