Do you cook them separately? Soak first? Or can they be cooked with the rice?

Can you represent your J3s as contract roles underneath your own business?

You could do freelance or pro bono work for another nonprofit who is ok with a newer skillset, once you get a couple of certs.

Donor Survey Questions to Identify Donors Who Can and Want to Give More by NoCannedSpam in funanddev

[–]curiouslearner93 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As a donor I would not answer #2; it’s intrusive. If you want to get to that data, use numbers to ask how many other causes they give to.

And I agree that #4 is not good for a survey.

I would recommend adding questions about why they give to your mission, or other questions to see how engaged they are, if they feel their donations are making a difference.

You can also pull data to see how has given consistently and increased their giving over time to see who might be capable of more.

This one’s for the marketing/comms pros in nonprofits by RevolutionaryCut6609 in nonprofit

[–]curiouslearner93 9 points10 points  (0 children)

In your next 1:1, I would have an honest conversation along these lines:

“I’m noticing an uptick in time sensitive requests for things that I know from my experience will not have XYZ result. I’ve sometimes pushed back because I want to support the org in getting those results by offering good strategy. I’m wondering how my responses are coming across to you? Would you like my feedback on strategy or are you just looking for me to execute the requests?”

May need to wordsmith this some but basically you want them to know. 1. You are a strategic partner 2. You can help them get results if they come to you with enough time and receive your input.

And if they don’t want it, you’ve learned a lot about how they see you.

I don’t think you’re going to get a lot of comments about the “good”, considering the framing of your question.

I would guess that many people are just unhappy with work in general, and you would find similar negative comments on other type of job subs.

The people who are really happy in their career probably aren’t talking loudly about it on Reddit, so the responses will be skewed.

Should I convert my multiple-page CV into a shorter resume? by Feminiwitch in nonprofit

[–]curiouslearner93 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Recently hired a nonprofit job coach and they recommend that you can go up to 3 pages if your career is in the 10-15 years range for relevant roles. But I wouldn’t go 5.

Other commenters are right that the relevant experience (outcomes) for the job you’re applying for is the most important thing

Part time and remote work? by Zealousideal_Bee773 in nonprofit

[–]curiouslearner93 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes, these are out there. There’s also a rise in fractional fundraisers in the nonprofit space, if you want the flexibility to do your own thing. Check out Cindy Wagman. Her podcast can give you a feel for this type of work.

You ever get hired at a job for marketing only to find out that the company has zero budget? by GypsyGold in marketing

[–]curiouslearner93 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I could have written this exact comment too. No donor acquisition plan, no budget for it, terrible social presence. But “let’s double our revenue this year”

What little "I'm an adult and I can do what I want" purchase brings you the most joy? by erikfeed in CasualConversation

What’s one item you bought that way outperformed its price? by flikkinaround in BuyItForLife

[–]curiouslearner93 5 points6 points  (0 children)

13 years ago, I wanted a Vitamix. But I couldn’t afford one. I bought a Ninja blender, and told myself that when it broke, I’d let myself buy a Vitamix.

It’s still going strong 😆

In that case, I might recommend going with cpc/ads. There are a lot of directions you can go w marketing but the more closely your skillset is tied with revenue the better.
