The New Math of Doing Good: How Nonprofits Can Thrive in Uncertain Times - NonProfit MBA 9.1
Q: What are three practical things a nonprofit should do to watch expenses more effectively?
First, record financial data meticulously so decisions and accountability are based on solid records; second, leverage free or discounted technology to reduce costs; third, bring in private-sector experience to manage costs and create a more disciplined, flexible operating model.
The New Math of Doing Good: How Nonprofits Can Thrive in Uncertain Times - NonProfit MBA 9.1
Q: What have nonprofit clients been telling you about how the administration's policies affect them?
Clients report shifts in priorities and funding, with some areas like Second Amendment-related nonprofits faring better under current policies, while others face cutbacks. The overall theme is adaptation to changing political priorities and funding landscapes.
Why Fast, Secure, Reliable Nonprofit Websites Matter More Than Ever- Nonprofit MBA 9.2
Q: How has AI impacted nonprofit websites and what should they do about it?
AI has reduced overall visits as chat summaries replace some on-site clicks; nonprofits should invest in SEO and AI optimization, integrate analytics to understand AI-driven traffic, and collaborate with SEO/IT partners to publish well-structured content.
Why Fast, Secure, Reliable Nonprofit Websites Matter More Than Ever- Nonprofit MBA 9.2
Q: What should executives do to keep their sites fast, secure, and reliable?
Establish measurable plans for uptime, speed, and security, maintain a subscription-based service with ongoing updates and monitoring, and ensure governance with clear ownership to prevent emergencies.
Why Fast, Secure, Reliable Nonprofit Websites Matter More Than Ever- Nonprofit MBA 9.2
Q: So the first question we're going to ask you is horror stories. What are the typical horror stories you've seen that you've had to fix?
Horror stories usually involve malware on the site, downtime, or a vendor disappearing, all leading to frantic organizational stress; updates and unpatched plugins can also cause donors to be unable to donate, which damages both function and trust.
