Can the tech industry better serve nonprofits? At The Collaborative Collective, we see firsthand how many nonprofits are locked out of the tools they need due to high subscription costs and limited access to essential features. Yet, nonprofits are the ones tackling society's most pressing challenges. Our latest blog explores how tech companies like Google, Microsoft, and monday.com are starting to change the game by offering true partnerships—donating services, providing free training, and creating nonprofit-focused communities. But there's still much work to be done. Read more about how the tech industry can shift its approach to support nonprofits and fuel their missional impact. https://lnkd.in/gj_W5rUA

In a recent conversation with a nonprofit client, trust—or the lack of it—came up. I asked, "When was the last time someone on your team surprised you with a positive outcome?" Silence. I pressed further, "Does your team take initiative, or do they check in on even the smallest decisions?" “They check in—for everything.” And this was their executive team. It became clear—this culture wasn’t built on trust, but control. My client couldn’t see it because they were too deep in it. Micromanagement had stifled basic communication, innovative thinking, and staff morale. An environment of control fosters fear, avoidance, and a lack of progress. Trust is essential for missional growth. Without it, decisions stall, creativity suffers, and fear takes over. From my experience, trust must start at the top. Trust is the root of empowerment, accountability, camaraderie, organizational awareness, and missional growth. Without trust, all is lost. How are you maintaining a healthy foundation of trust? As we reflect today on the significance of 9/11, let’s remember the resilience, unity, and strength that trust can build in times of adversity. #nonprofitleadership #selfawareness #remember
