- Oooh thanks! I used to work on a political campaign, and we had tons of volunteers that seemed to manage themselves... so it was very weird to move to the non-profit sector and find my employers don't even use volunteers, because they're considered uBy

Nonprofit Leadership 601
In this blog I write about nonprofit leadership, nonprofit careers, the nonprofit workforce, nonprofit technology, and nonprofit management education.
It’s Valentines Day and there are pink decorations, candy, clothing, and cards in stores everywhere! Whenever I see something pink I cannot help but think of the Susan G. Koman Foundation. Many nonprofit bloggers wrote about the Koman Foundation defunding and then refunding of Planned Parenthood (see John Haydon’s blog post highlights) but I cannot [...]
I’ve been really busy with school right now to write a blog post about Haiti, however I just received an e-mail from my colleague Meg Busse who works for Idealist aka Action without Borders. Her e-mail provides info on how to donate to Haiti. Thanks Meg for the info! I’ve been getting lots of emails [...]
Lately I’ve had the song “If I had a million dollars”in my head and been thinking what I’d do with a million dollars. Nope..I wouldn’t buy a house, or a car! I would DONATE it all, every last cent to the wonderful charities I have worked for over the years. Without them I wouldn’t be [...]
I attended USD’s annual nonprofit governance symposium this past weekend. My favorite session was Ruth Westrich’s (Westreich Foundation) session about the differences between nonprofit and for profit businesses. Her presentation is available on her Foundation’s website. I really wish more funders were like her. I am not just saying this because she is an advisory [...]

She’s super talented, already has interned in a nonprofit along with earning her Certificate in Nonprofit Leadership from American [...]
It is happening again, just like Katrina–people are donating tons of money to the Red Cross for San Diego fire relief, however fire victims will barely see a penny of that money. In the meantime, very small charities like mine (The Jenna Druck Foundation) are working directly with the fire victims and will continue to [...]
I am excited to be hosting the blog Carnival of Nonprofit Consultants for the first time on this blog! There were some great posts this week! Here are some marketing and fundraising tips. 1. Jeff Brooks of the Donor Power blog writes in his post why most fundraising doesn’t work. 2. Katya Andresen of the [...]
I just attended a great networking event last night organized by the Craigslist Foundation. The guest speaker at this event was Susan Fox author of Grant Proposal Makeover. Susan shared her “10 Flaws That Doom Most Proposals to Failure.” These flaws are: Proposals that don’t fit the funders priorities.Do thorough research about their grant requirements [...]
