While HelpGood is now a fully integrated marketing and communications agency, most of our earliest work, when we got our start 15 years ago, was focused on helping nonprofits leverage #socialmedia to engage and activate their communities around their mission. The biggest piece of advice, especially for the smallest of nonprofits, is to focus on what you do best. Take a read through the POV of our CEO, Michael Bellavia, and other #nonprofit leaders in the latest Forbes Nonprofit Council article.

Nonprofits face constant pressure to adapt and grow, but that can sometimes lead to mission creep—straying away from core objectives. You can avoid getting distracted by the latest shiny object by setting up an innovation task force to explore new approaches for your organization in a thoughtful, mission-aligned way. HelpGood has seen firsthand how keeping long-term goals at the forefront helps maintain strategic clarity while building sustainable #socialimpact. Check out this and other insights in this Forbes Nonprofit Council article featuring Randy Wong, Ed.M, CFRE, Cherian Koshy, Dr. Tara Chalakani, Laura MacDonald, Paolo Petrocelli, Karen S. Cochran, CFRE, Magdalena Nowicka Mook, Erin Thibodeaux-Davison, MBA (She/Her), Tamika L. Smith, MBA, MS, PMP, Liz Salguero, Libbie Sonnier, Ph.D., and Tina Admans. https://lnkd.in/gDjFYe-z

Powerful stories can transform movements and spark meaningful change. This recent article from The Anthem Awards, featuring HelpGood's Mike Damanskis, highlights why storytelling is such an essential tool for social impact. Great stories create an emotional connection that resonates deeply with your audience. By aligning your narrative with values and a shared sense of purpose, you can inspire action and amplify your mission. That's how HelpGood approaches every campaign we're fortunate to work on -- storytelling that taps into real emotion, drives engagement, and makes a difference. 🌍✨ https://lnkd.in/gZKBh5s9 #SocialImpact #Storytelling #NonprofitMarketing #Awards

We can change the discourse. We can be more welcoming. We can remake the system to do better for everyone, especially the most vulnerable.
If you’ve been tuned in lately, especially after the debates, you’ve likely heard a lot of dehumanizing, sensationalist, (and downright untruthful) anti-immigrant conversations happening right now. I’m so proud of our team for releasing this podcast today–right when the world needs to be reminded to have more compassion. Huge thank you to Amanda Doroshow and Lauren Esterle and everyone at Acacia Center for Justice for going above and beyond to contribute to an hour+ long podcast episode with Reb Masel, everyone’s favorite lawyer on TikTok. It’s so important to keep telling the stories of what unaccompanied kids go through in America’s impossibly complex immigration system, and how having an attorney can be life-changing. Special shoutout to Marly Fuchs, our queen of influencer management who managed this relationship with Reb’s team from top to bottom - it’s hard work but you make it look easy 😉 Great content like this is not made by accident, it’s a testament to the trusting, collaborative partnership our team at HelpGood has built with the Acacia team over the years. Have a listen, and tell the lawyers in your life to consider a career in immigration law, we need you! https://lnkd.in/eePnSgjE

Burnout is a very real consideration in any sector, but it can be particularly acute in nonprofits, especially within those organizations waging an uphill battle to remake entrenched systems in desperate need of reengineering. Taking on systemic inequities is a long and arduous slog and can be demoralizing. It's not for the faint of heart. In the latest Forbes Nonprofit Council roundup, my colleagues and I discuss building in buffering and support mechanisms so that your staff isn't on a constant hamster loop of stress. With POV from Bruce Maj Pelz of Maji Safi Group, Kristin Salkil of Black Women's Health Imperative, Taryn Taddeo Palumbo of Orange County Grantmakers, Magdalena Nowicka Mook of International Coaching Federation, Peter A. Sanchez of The Atrisco Companies, Kimberly Lewis of Goodwill Industries of East Texas, Jonathan Prosser of Compassion UK, Cherian Koshy of Kindsight, Patrick Riccards, Nicole Suydam of Goodwill of Orange County, Aaron Alejandro of Texas FFA Foundation, Erin Thibodeaux-Davison, MBA (She/Her) at Big Brothers Big Sisters of Southwest Louisiana, Ramik Williams of KAVI | Kings Against Violence Initiative, Dr. Tara Chalakani of Preferred Behavioral Health Group, Elpida Kokkota of Mexoxo, Libbie Sonnier, Ph.D. of The Louisiana Policy Institute for Children , Vicki Burkhart of The More Than Giving Co., and Karen S.

I’ve contributed to a lot of these Forbes Nonprofit Council roundup articles and I’ve been in the final position on many of them. I like that. For those committed to digging in on the issues impacting nonprofit success it feels like I’m getting the final word. So thanks to those of you who read through to #20 - I’d like to think of you as one of my own stakeholders.
Prioritizing long-term, open relationships with stakeholders can help ensure nonprofit leaders stay on mission.
