The5 with Eric Moraczewski welcomes Kyle Ogden, President & CEO of The Thanks-Giving Foundation.  Kyle joins The5 to talk about Building a Profoundly #Caring Community.  Something most, if not all, nonprofits are focused on but maybe aren't always aware of.  Kyle talks about being intentional with gratitude and caring, as well as the Foundation's five key functions of Building a Profoundly Caring Community. Kyle became the President and CEO of The Thanks-Giving Foundation because he wanted to do something important in the bigger civic context, and build something sustainable for the citizens of Dallas. The Thanks-Giving Foundation is a platform that can influence the future of the community, and he believes his contribution of time, effort and resources can make a real difference as an accelerant of positive change. The physical and programmatic enhancements made are being noticed, and he is proud that the vision will deliver a place of importance within the nonprofit landscape. Before joining The Thanks-Giving Foundation, Kyle was the Chairman, President and CEO of Carroll Company. Kyle received a Bachelor of Business Administrations degree in honors business and a Master of Business Administration degree in accounting and finance from the University of Texas at Austin, and went on to earn his CPA license. In his spare time, he enjoy golf, baseball and travel. He and his wife have four adult children.   The5 is a celebration of the work being done by nonprofit professionals, highlighting valuable tips and methods that nonprofits should be utilizing.  The5 is aptly named as NMBL Strategies celebrates our 5 year anniversary.  Host Eric Moraczewski leads guests on a journey of topics that are of deep importance to the guest and discusses how nonprofits and nonprofit leaders can benefit from the experience and expertise. #nonprofit #nonprofits #nonprofitorganization #nonprofitfoundation #nonprofitlife #nonprofitorganizations #nonprofitmanagement #nonprofitsuccess #nonprofitleaders #nonprofitgrowth #gratitude #intentionality

IMPORTANT LESSON TO BE LEARNED HERE - It's not very often we share videos from the Driving the Lane University of Northern Iowa Basketball show we are part of. However, when there is a lesson to be learned, I don't mind doing so. No matter if you see a successful business or nonprofit (or in this case a basketball team) . . . they had to start from somewhere. That somewhere usually started with grit, tight budgets, and sacrifice. #nonprofitleadership #nonprofits #ForProfitsToo https://lnkd.in/e4X3sTip

Been thinking about the term “vision” this week as it relates to the strategic planning work I do with nonprofit clients. And what comes to mind for me (at least this week) is a rowing crew. Sharing a common purpose is inspiring and uplifting, but equally crucial is having a shared direction. Consider our nonprofit communities - all driven by the same mission to create positive change. However, achieving goals requires more than shared passion. We must also align on a shared destination, (or vision) for the not-so-distant future that can align our efforts and strategies, ensuring everyone is moving in the same direction. Just like a rowing crew that moves swiftly when every member is in sync, an organization thrives when every team member, volunteer, and supporter work together toward a common point on the horizon. Getting your community to row together, not just with a shared purpose but with a shared destination will help you actualize the future you want to create.

When selecting partnerships, I focus on three key factors: 1. Alignment with Mission – Does it resonate with River Rock Outfitters' core values? 2. Professional Development – Will it provide opportunities for personal and professional growth? 3. Unique Contributions – Can I bring valuable experiences or resources to benefit the partnership? With limited time and resources, it's essential to ensure that partnership goals align. Thoughtful collaborations not only benefit businesses but also support nonprofits and engage the community. By choosing wisely, we can create win-win situations that drive success and make a lasting difference! https://lnkd.in/e-iBskpK #Partnerships #CommunityEngagement #RiverRockOutfitters #BusinessGrowth
