Technology is a powerful tool in reach, efficiency, and impact of non-profit organizations. To fully harness this potential, non-profits must proactively adopt technology and adapt to the digital landscape. This might involve investing in digital literacy and infrastructure, exploring partnerships with tech professionals, and staying abreast of technological trends and innovations. As non-profits become more tech-savvy, they not only enhance their capability to serve their missions but also set a precedent for how technology can be used as a force for good, driving social change and fostering a more equitable landscape! #nonprofitleadership #nonprofits #tncpcan #tncp #raggedyriri #technology #techcommunity #michigannonprofitassociation

Convincing donors, corporates, foundations and partners your nonprofit is as great as you know it to be can be tough I’ve been connecting with lots of nonprofit startups recently, and one common challenge is clear: establishing trust with donors and volunteers is tough. Angie Holzer, EdD, MBC at WikiCharities has an awesome (and awesomely ambitious!) project to solve that. For just $1 in the first year, nonprofits can sign up, go through a validation process, and secure a donation page, and get independent, third-party validation to help donors, corporates, foundations and partners get onboard with your organization’s mission faster. Wikicharities relies on the network effect to deliver all that good stuff so I’m giving it a boost. Check them out and consider joining the movement. It’s about more than donations—it's about building a community that empowers real change. ----------- I’m leading a research project to bring the benefits of big data and AI to Nonprofits 📩 If you want to participate in what we’re building and get early access, reach out If you just want to see more of our research findings as we progress, give me a follow

𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐝𝐨 𝐩𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐠𝐢𝐯𝐞? 🤔 This has been the question at the heart of our work since NextAfter was founded. If you think about it, donating to a nonprofit can seem like an irrational choice. After all, most people go online to get, not to give. But after analyzing over 6,000 case studies and countless donor interactions, we've found that the reasons for giving are as diverse as the donors themselves. Some give from a sense of duty, others to express their identity, and many to be part of a larger community or to address a burning frustration. 🌍 But here's the twist: understanding the 'why' behind each donation isn't a guessing game. It's a science 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐛𝐞 𝐝𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐝𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 𝐭𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧. 🧪 I've also learned that the real experts are the donors themselves. By engaging with them through testing, we let their actions guide our strategies. This way, we turn every fundraising effort into a conversation where each hypothesis is tested, and every idea is validated by real-world results. It's also important to understand that testing is more than a tool. It's a 𝐜𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐟𝐭 within an organization. It democratizes decision-making and empowers us with insights to drive breakthroughs in fundraising growth. So the next time you're worried about a new campaign idea failing, ask yourself: '𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐟 𝐢𝐭 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐧𝐞𝐱𝐭 𝐛𝐢𝐠 𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭?' Testing and experimentation is about learning, and learnings from experiments are more valuable than the lift. Even a failed experiment can be valuable when you extract the key learning. #Philanthropy #NonprofitFundraising #DonorBehavior #OnlineFundraising #NextAfter
