Alternatives’ Post

Here is a testimonial of one of our Chicago ELF fellows, "I really appreciated the equity focus because I've been trying to learn about ways to lead in a way that matches my values." One of our goals for this program is to build up values-based leaders, who can then take those values of anti-racism and apply them thoughtfully in their own nonprofit context, shaping the direction of the sector. #nonprofit #notforprofit #nonprofitprofessionaldevelopment #professionaldevelopment #EmergingLeadersFellowship #Alternatives #Alternatives Youth #Illinoisnonprofit #illinois

What is the most important factor when deciding whether or not to embark on a peer-to-peer fundraising campaign? The most important part of any successful campaign is leadership. Look for three characteristics in leaders; 1) Courage - Leaders step out of their comfort zones. Great leaders aren’t afraid of vulnerability. (In fact, sometimes that vulnerability inspires donors to give even more than they otherwise would have!) 2) Humility - Leaders know that they can't do it alone. They aren't experts in all aspects of a campaign, and, even if they were, they simply don't have the time to accept responsibility for every detail. 3) Discipline - Leaders understand that great campaigns aren't built in a day. They don’t cram it all in the night before like students preparing for a high school final. Great campaigns are built bit by bit, task by task. If you’re asking yourself whether an ambitious fundraising campaign is right for your organization, look internally. Ask yourself if you have the leadership to mobilize an army of supporters. If you do, you should proceed confidently because fundraising success is well within reach. #fundraising #nonprofit #crowdfunding #dayschool #charity

Our President and CEO Eric J. Jolly, Ph.D., recently shared his insights on successfully leading a nonprofit organization in an exclusive interview with Authority Magazine. In this insightful conversation, Dr. Jolly discusses "5 Things You Need to Know to Successfully Lead a Nonprofit Organization," drawing from his wealth of experience and leadership in the nonprofit sector. "As a foundation, we distribute power of authority and responsibility to others whose lives will be impacted by the issues they want addressed," said Dr. Jolly. "This distribution of power is what a foundation or a nonprofit entity needs to ensure they can make meaningful, sustained, and authentic progress."
