This whole article is enlightening, but this sentence in particular encapsulated so much of what is wrong with the way many funders shape the governance of those they fund. Instead, here we are offered an alternative reality in which knowledge is shaped, held and shared by those whose knowledge it is. Highly recommend reading this whole piece if you are in any way involved in #charity #evaluation #community #decolonisation work. https://lnkd.in/dpu92VnU by Nish Doshi

I'm currently doing some work to explore the challenges faced by small, local challenges in our socio-economic climate. If you work for a #smallcharity, I'm looking to understand your thoughts for the future. Are you feeling hopeful that things are going to get better? Concerned as funding continues to be restricted? Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated and put to good use as I put together an article focusing on the future of local charities. From specific community connection to pivoting funding to serve the needs of service-users, I think small charities are really important and want to ensure as many people as possible understand why. #charity #nonprofit #community #socialimpact

In the social impact space, it can be difficult to care for yourself while you are so busy caring for others. Amy Castator, Co-founder and President of Carbon Conversations TO, interviewed four impact professionals to learn how they manage self-care and prevent burnout. Check out this article to learn about their tactics and strategies for setting boundaries, integrating self-care, and seeking professional support. ⬇️ https://okt.to/Xx3vlN #news #article #nonprofit #charity #foundation #association #community #charities #nonprofits #organizations #care #selfcare #burnout #WorkplaceMentalHealth

Our members tell us that being a Chair can be tough. It can also be wonderful. We understand the highs and lows, and so does our supportive community of Chairs. We'd love for you to be part of that: https://buff.ly/44h6fFj How would you describe your experience of being a Chair? #Charity #NonProfit #Chair #Governance

Let me get this straight. I make a charitable donation matched by my company. Because the donation is made on a legacy platform, it can go into limbo for days, weeks, or months like the example below. (Sounds of thumbs twiddling, people killing time, account managers humming, stuff like that.) Finally, after all that time, give or take, the donation is matched by the company, and eventually sent to my charity of choice. Meanwhile, what has my donation been doing for the charity stuck in limbo? Nothing. Not for the charity. Or the people they represent. Now suppose the entire donation process only requires a single day? From donation to charity? Jake does the math.
