In my book, Chasing Success: the Challenge for Nonprofits, I emphasize why collaborations between for-profit and non-for-profit organizations is so important--- primarily how the business sector can help nonprofits operate more effectively. Community Wealth Partners, an outstanding nonprofit think tank, has an excellent blog post, "Evolving Your Organization to Sustain and Deepen Impact: Why a Clear Business Model is Important" in their February 2024 newsletter. Written by their CEO, Amy Celep, it is an instructive read. If you don't subscribe to their newsletter, I suggest that you do. You won't be sorry.

Hello July! I believe in fostering abundance mindsets within nonprofits. Why? Because embracing abundance empowers them to see opportunities where others might see challenges. It's about cultivating a positive outlook that fuels innovation and resilience in the face of obstacles. Whether you're a small community initiative or a larger nonprofit, adopting an abundance mindset can transform how you approach fundraising, program development, and community engagement. It's not just about resources; it's about the belief that there's always enough goodwill and support to make a meaningful impact. 💡 How do you cultivate abundance in your nonprofit work? Share your tips and stories with us! Let's inspire each other to think bigger and do better for our communities. #AbundanceMindset #NonprofitSuccess #PositiveImpact #CommunityFirst #NonprofitToolkits

I've been a follower of Ditcherville by Jonathan Stark for some time now. The concept of value in a business mirrors the idea of engagement in a nonprofit organization. It's challenging to compel people to appreciate what you offer, just as it is to get them involved in supporting a nonprofit's cause. My strategy involves using inspirational stories as a driving force to foster engagement. How do you spark engagement or convey value effectively? #BusinessValue #NonprofitEngagement #igniteinspiregrow

Many nonprofits strive to create successful programs but often fall short due to a lack of research and planning. Fortunately, there is a proven methodology to help evaluate nonprofit ideas and increase the chances of success. 25 years ago, I developed a pyramid diagram to help guide nonprofits toward scalable and successful programs. It's been tested and proven over time and has now been implemented by Sports Quest with actionable results. Don't leave your nonprofit's success up to chance - invest in research and planning to build a strong foundation for your programs. #connectingcommunitiesconsulting #nonprofitconsultant #executivecoaching #programevaluationprocess #sportsquest #communityconnections Jim Spence Eric Cowpersmith
