For organizational and philanthropic leaders who are leveraging resources to improve the common good in your region, is there political polarization in your community and is it causing you to back away from the discord or engage deeper to co-create solutions? Watch this whole episode of An Invitation to Become, as Ben McBride harvests wisdom from David Rogers, the President of the H. E. Butt Foundation. https://lnkd.in/g3AccE9Y

Transcript

So what would you say, David, to other organizational leaders, maybe they're in an operating foundation like your own where their resource well to kind of create initiatives and and execute them across the city. Maybe they are more nonoperating foundations or or philanthropists that are doing donor advised funding people that want to figure out how to leverage resources towards the common good and maybe they're they're feeling. In this moment, like maybe we need to lean away. People aren't getting along. Maybe we should not engage. Just what, what would you say to them in this moment? Well, our communities are so ripe right now to actually do it and not shy away from it. So I do feel like I'm beginning to, we are beginning to get others that have heard, as you said, what we're doing and how can they use some of our ideas into their own community. So it takes a lot of effort. It's person to person it. Takes a trusted organization, you have to be one that that you can actually bring people in from different parts of the community to where it's not just a homogeneous thing because that won't work. I hope that our organization will in the next two years have gone through enough of the work that we're doing, where we found the things that do work and don't work and how we can, as I said earlier. Catalyze and, and, and let the people that have been a part of what we're doing really get into their own network. Well, that's how you multiply it all.

One of the biggest challenges a nonprofit leader can face is managing their team. When you have a diverse group of people from multiple generations who all come with their own unique communication styles, motivations, and life experiences, it can be tough to bridge those gaps. On today’s episode, host Meghan Speer sits down with Kate Viana from Nontoxic Nonprofits to discuss everything leaders need to understand about these different generations and how to manage them effectively. https://bit.ly/4bKHp3p

Nonprofit Leaders: Challenge your boards to live into the number 3. 1. Share with 3 people per month the work of the organization. 2. With the direction of the Executive Director, write 3 personal notes per quarter on behalf of the board thanking a donor. 3. Make the organization one of your top 3 that you support financially. These simple, reasonable, and relational activities will have an impact on the mission of the organization. What's stopping you?
