The Small Nonprofit
You are going to change the world. We can help. Running a small nonprofit is not for the faint of heart. With limited resources and fueled by a combination of caffeine and passion, small charity leaders are unsung heroes. The Small Nonprofit podcast, by Further Together, gives you down-to-earth, practical and actionable expert guidance on how to run a small nonprofit. From leadership and law to fundraising and finance, we’ve got you covered. Forget comparing your organization to the big shops, we’re creating a community of nonprofit leaders who are going to change the world, one small nonprofit at a time.
The Small Nonprofit
The Future of Giving is Here with Juliana Sprott
Key Episode Highlights:
- Trust-Based Philanthropy
- Challenging Outdated Norms
- Donor-Nonprofit Partnerships
Quotable Moments:
- "I believe in the nonprofits we fund. They know better than I do where the money needs to go."
- "We need to move away from this idea that nonprofit staff should be underpaid. It's time to invest in the people who make change happen."
- "If nonprofits across the country could standardize a percentage of donations for admin costs, it would be a game changer for the sector."
Actionable Tips:
➜ Include Admin Costs in Funding Requests: Nonprofits should automatically include a percentage for administrative expenses in donor agreements.
➜ Trust Grantees' Expertise: Funders should trust that nonprofits know best how to allocate resources and should avoid imposing restrictions that hinder their effectiveness.
➜ Educate Donors on Real Needs: Nonprofits should feel empowered to educate donors about the importance of funding operational costs and negotiate for the support they truly need.
