Invest in people and processes to help you seamlessly adopt new technologies.
Too often, I see nonprofits fail to invest in the people and processes needed to effectively use modern digital technology. When modernizing fundraising, make sure to treat it as an organizational transformation project with proper funding and executive support.
Erik Arnold
Global CTO, Tech for Social Impact at Microsoft
Prioritize the wellbeing of your team and yourself.
We must care for our teams, our workforce, and ourselves in order to sustain energy for this critical work. If that means changing expectations, goals, and programs, that’s what needs to happen.
