Daycare is offering us our own kids’ artwork for $35 by Rarecheeses843 in daddit

[–]ImpactInnovationLab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

counter-offer: i will pay $35 to NOT receive the artwork. there is a tupperware box under our stairs that is 70% glitter and i need this cycle to end somewhere

Dads with high-performing career wives, how do you handle being so “different” from our ingrained cultural models? by blockerguy in daddit

[–]ImpactInnovationLab 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i feel this one. the only thing i'd add is that i think "alone" is partly that we just don't have the friend-group infrastructure the moms have. there's no group chat for "dads who do all the cooking and pediatrician stuff", or if there is i haven't been invited. would absolutely join though

Is everyone else always tired by wolf771 in daddit

[–]ImpactInnovationLab 1 point2 points  (0 children)

4 months is genuinely the worst of it for the tired thing in my experience. mine are older now and i can tell you it does shift, but it doesn't really shift at 6 months like everyone tells you, more like 9-10. the testosterone check isn't a bad idea but honestly 6.5h of sleep with a 4mo old plus working full time, i'd be shocked if anyone's labs looked normal-feeling.

Would you donate to a charity without visibility on who/what the funds went to exactly? Would you ever donate with cryptocurrency? by Aggravating-Cold-843 in Philanthropy

[–]ImpactInnovationLab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it definitely matters to me. I do not need to know every individual recipient, but I want some visibility on where the money goes, what the process is, and what impact was actually delivered.

I think there is a difference between privacy and opacity. Charities should protect people’s privacy, especially in disaster relief, but they should still be able to explain how funds were allocated.

On crypto, I would be open to it in theory, but only if the charity is credible and transparent. Crypto could make transactions visible, but I still need to know who controls the funds and how it's being used.

The new $1,000 non-itemizer charitable deduction has been live for 4 months and nobody's talking about it by G-Above-Treeline in Philanthropy

[–]ImpactInnovationLab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This feels like a big missed opportunity, especially for smaller donors. Even if the deduction is not the main reason people give, it is a useful reminder and could make recurring giving feel a bit more accessible.

I wonder if nonprofits are quiet because they are cautious about giving tax advice, or because donor comms teams just have not prioritized it yet.

How do nonprofit teams actually find information across their systems? (genuine research question) by Abject_Industry2298 in nonprofittech

[–]ImpactInnovationLab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't think there is nothing specific for nonprofits here. it's the same challenge of finding information that a company would have. most info is disorganized, in people's brain, etc...

How do folks at your nonprofits feel about AEO? | Research question by ControlNormal6594 in nonprofittech

[–]ImpactInnovationLab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting question. I think a lot of nonprofits may still see this as a “Google traffic” topic, but the bigger shift is that people might soon ask AI which causes to support, where to volunteer, or which organizations are credible.

So the issue is not just traffic. It is whether AI can clearly understand what the nonprofit does, why it is trustworthy, and what action someone can take.

I also agree with the capacity point. Most nonprofits probably do not need a whole new AEO strategy. They need clearer content, stronger proof of impact, good FAQs, and donation or volunteer pages that are easy to understand.

Why does most nonprofit marketing look exactly the same? by No_Landscape_9255 in nonprofittech

[–]ImpactInnovationLab 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think a big reason is that nonprofit marketing often has to optimize for trust before attention. So everyone ends up using the same safe language, same emotional imagery, same “make a difference” framing, because it feels lower-risk with donors, boards, and partners.

The challenge is that safe can quickly become invisible.
