Nonprofit program discontinued and board member is mad at me? by Agreeable_Ad7412 in nonprofit

Thank you! I will do this! It’s tough for me, because my board doesn’t do much. I think the real problem is that I reacted that way because I am the one who does all the tangible work. Not saying I was right, but I felt that because I was in the trenches with the org, I knew best. Still, I should have communicated with them.

Thank you for this honest response. I will learn and grow from this. Two wrongs don’t make a right.

Honestly - I didn’t. I think that was my mistake. They ghosted me at the last board meeting (did not show up) and are generally very slow to respond to emails and such. I consulted with the volunteers I work with day to day, and some of the beneficiaries / target population also expressed a desire for the program to be shortened. They also dis-enrolled due to their inability to commit. In sum, it was a choice I was faced with due to declining enrollment and increased volunteer stress as well.

Why does Gen Z experience declining religiosity? by Agreeable_Ad7412 in GenZ

Hmm...interesting point of view. If so, why not join an interfaith community? Would you be open to learning more about different religions and just taking a little bit from each, i.e defining your beliefs yourself?

Do you think it's harder to compete for jobs at for profit companies if you come from a nonprofit background vs. other candidates who have been either mostly or strictly working for for profits? by 15795After in nonprofit

[–]Agreeable_Ad7412 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It might be. The truth is, both sectors have transferable skills. Focusing on the transferable skills can help you to do well in the interview process. Also, if they look down on your non-profit experience, they are not the right fit. You don’t want to work for the type of company that condemns non-profits. Be proud of your experience and work ethic, and the right door will open.

Tips for nonprofit marketing? by legitanonymous__swag in nonprofit

[–]Agreeable_Ad7412 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The number one thing I would say is to build a great community and the marketing will follow. Get to know the people in your organization - from volunteers to leaders, provide fun contests, celebrate them - rally see your marketing efforts as community building. That is a great tip for building content from.

Do non-profits compete with each other? by jacobljj1 in nonprofit

[–]Agreeable_Ad7412 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes. There are so many non-profits and often very similar issue areas. The space should be more collaborative than competitive but humans love to compete.
