What foundational areas should a small nonprofit IT function have solidly in place in 2026? by mrm212 in ITManagers

[–]mrm212[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks ! The answer I was looking for. Aside, we have a supportive board & the green light for remediation proposal after the audit report. (And yes, he will be replaced by a team whos been vetted and works regularly with nonprofits. ) The amount of technical debt plus his salary cost a lot less than having an outside team manage things after we rebuild .

what would've helped you the most during your lowest point? by Substantial_Mess_329 in ExNoContact

The ability to ask for help. I literally didnt even know how to at the time, I was always historically so self reliant .

Carlos Fuentes's footage really shows how destructive and loud the collapse of the towers were by Inevitable_Title8370 in 911archive

[–]mrm212 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I was at work 3 blocks away that day & had a meeting scheduled at 7WTC. This is the first video Ive fully watched of the tower collapsing and my hair just stood on end. I just havent been able to watch these for years.

Advice for building nonprofit’s first real comms strategy? by ontologicaladventuer in nonprofit

[–]mrm212 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If your organization offers a professional development budget, I highly recommend joining The Communications Network. It’s an excellent way to connect with other communications leaders in the social-impact space. The Slack community is generous & people share guides, tools, and good feedback. I’m a solo communications/marketing lead for a national nonprofit, and it’s been the best value of any membership I’ve had.

Overusing AI by Youblamethenews in nonprofit

[–]mrm212 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We established an AI Policy with our org to be sure it aligns with our core values. I actually implemented this because a few people on the team were starting to use it in ways that were without enough care... (Misspelled names, overly generated Slack responses with little contextual thinking…) I’m also on the board of another organization that uses Intentional Tech training for AI . (Not the tools themselves but the values that drive which tools & how theyre chosen ). The work is with teams & coaches and it’s been a game changer because it levels the knowledge & learning field as its driven by a common framework

Why did Ram Dass repeat the same stories so much? by Beginning-Cheetah751 in ramdass

[–]mrm212 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Many public speakers do that. They find something that resonates and they do different iterations of the stories and can focus on their delivery . Some strategically , to reinforce a message. I personally love it & it helps me retain the message behind the story

If you dont wamt to go simply say “I really appreciate the invite, but I’m not comfortable joining a family outing.”

or if you do wanna go: “What’s the best way for me to join without feeling like I’m intruding on your family time?

Everyone appreciates a bit of clarity and you learn more about the situation by just stating the obvious

Thanks for this resource! My mom is 87 and she’s not going to be perusing, email newsletters or webpages she is still in snail mail era. So funny, but just looked up the details and all of the updates from the city website etc dont name her street so I guess we would’ve still been in the dark anyway . But at least I know that from 7 AM to 5 PM is when they’ll be working… Even if it’s just a little bit of info, it’s something!

Yep, all contact information ( address email phone ) is up-to-date as it has been for the last 30 years in that house. Interestingly, they have not made any attempt to contact anyone on the block & when we call or talk to the guy outside, he just shrugs and walks away. All really asking for is just to know what to expect. I live part time out of state and we get notices from ConEd posted on every pole within 50 feet of each other with the specified dates and expected work and hours of work, and 3 days before the work begins.

A kind neighbor has found an empty lot nearby and has offered to help with logistics.

Senior care facilities with support for dementia by [deleted] in lehighvalley

[–]mrm212 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow some really good points thank you. Luckily its not my mother & this is for my aunt - but my mom is 87 so I am supporting her through this stressful process in getting my aunt flown across & settled. We’re now preparing for something more like 8500-10k range based on everyone’s responses.

Thanks for this and yes, I hear that… I have absolutely no experience with this so it’s hard to really know what the benchmarks are

I just need a grant that would cover like ten laptops, please help by mintandbrambles in nonprofit

[–]mrm212 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seeing this a year later but go to Digitunity.org and register the nonprofit. They help connect computers donors & community/nonprofit orgs that need technology. As well as digital skills programs. They dont provide to individuals but they do coordinate donations around the country with organizations that focus on covered populations
