- 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

(cash & equivs * 365) / (total expenses - depreciation expense)
and Cash Flow to Total Debt =
(net income + depreciation expense) / total liabilities

Nonprofit Leadership 601
In this blog I write about nonprofit leadership, nonprofit careers, the nonprofit workforce, nonprofit technology, and nonprofit management education.
I am happy to announce that after many years of a VERY static website, I have now have a dynamic new website that is easy to update!! I am so pleased that Will Hull agreed to design my website and deal with my sometimes perfectionist nature for the past three months. Will is an awesome [...]
When I started blogging in 2006 (wow, that seems so long ago) few people were blogging in the nonprofit sector. I REALLY lucked out because my blog gained popularity fast. Now there are hundreds of nonprofit blogs (maybe thousands) all vying for people’s attention on the web. It is overwhelming to see the vast amount [...]
It is important that nonprofits keep an inventory of technology products and a log ofwhat goes wrong with each product as well as what is done to fix the problem. This inventory is helpful for the technology consultants or volunteers who come in a fix your computers and this inventory is important for insurance purposes [...]
My colleague Tom Cesarini and I did a brief seminar about nonprofit technology during USD’s nonprofit innovation event last Friday. It was fun, but most likely overwhelming to people who are new to the nonprofit technology arena. (Here’s a link to our brief presentation). So I decided to write another brief overview, this one about [...]
Guidestar recently added a feature to their website which will highlight reviews and stories of nonprofits made on greatnonprofits.org. I’ve sat back for months now while the funder and nonprofit world got excited about the Great Nonprofits website, but I can’t be silent anymore. You may disagree with me, but I really don’t think Great [...]
I received a thoughtful e-mail from Thom Jeavons Executive Director of ARNOVA with his questions about the downsides of using social media. He, like many people, is concerned that social media provides “fragmentation and superficialization of our lives and culture.” I am an advocate of social media, however, I appreciated his correspondence because it provided [...]
Ok, let me set the record straight. I really like the IS conference, it is not at all what I thought it would be like. The presenters are talking about important issues that are relavant to all nonprofits. For example, I’m in a session right now that is similar to sessions offered at the NTC [...]
Perspectives on Blogging in the Nonprofit and Philanthropic Sector Abstract Wikipedia defines a blog as a “user-generated website where entries are made in journal style and displayed in reverse chronological order.” (“Wikipedia,” 2007) In November 2007, I presented a literature review and short case study about blogs and wikis as professional development tools for nonprofit [...]
I recently got accepted to present at a nonprofit research conference about my previous blog the Nonprofit Management and Operations Blog, as well as the Nonprofit Operations Wiki and Nonprofit Operations Brown Bag Lunch discussions as being collaborative learning and professional development tools for nonprofit managers. If you read the Nonprofit Management and Operations blog [...]
I haven’t really understood the popularity of social networking tools until now. I did create profiles on Friendster, Linkedin, and My Space and I do like how I can see what my colleagues are up to on Linkedin and connect with all my High School friends on My Space, but aside from that I haven’t [...]
