SummaryQuite a few smaller size social sector organizations assume that program evaluation is too complex or demanding an undertaking for them. Is that the case, though?If we want to introduce program evaluation to staff, leadership, and boards who have not yet been inducted into the importance of program evaluation: what are the most effective questions to generate genuine interest in and motivation to engage in such program evaluation?How can we build a more evaluation-friendly culture all around?Chari Smith, President and Founder of the consulting company Evaluation into Action has written a book that gives clear answers to these questions: Nonprofit Program Evaluation Made Simple (2021). She explains her core argument in this podcast episode. Chari's Bio:Program Evaluation enthusiast: Author, Speaker, Consultant, and TrainerPresident/Founder of Evaluation into Action, a consulting companyProgram Evaluation Associate at Northwest Regional Educational Laboratory We discuss: Chari's book is meant for small to midsize nonprofits who have not yet taken up program evaluation, to make it achievable to them. The book is also meant for entry-stage evaluatorsChari values Beth Kanter's and Aliza Sherman's definition of organizational culture – “Organizational culture is a complex tapestry made up of attitudes, values, behaviors, and artifacts of the people who work for your nonprofit.”If you apply a collaborative, inclusive, participatory, and non-siloed approach to introducing program evaluation, your chances of increasing buy-in grow considerablyOnly collect data that you will actually analyze and synthesize into actionable data and that is likely to influence decision-makingA program evaluation-friendly culture cannot be ‘mandated', on the one handOn the other hand, the role of culture ambassadors – people who already are in favor of program evaluation – is important in instilling an evaluation-friendly cultureWhat's also important is the role of organizational ‘heroes', and the use of stories, images, and narratives, while organizational artifacts (tangible objects that can be seen around the organization) can be used to signal a desired culture. Quote: “By gathering data, nonprofits can pivot from a reactive stance to a proactive one, by acting on the data gathered” Resources:Chari's LinkedIn ProfileWebsite of ‘Evaluation into Action'Book ‘Nonprofit Program Evaluation Made Simple'

Artificial intelligence has taken the world by storm. Its ability to churn out research, generate reports, and create stunning images – all at lightning speed – has generated both excitement and deep anxiety. The impact of AI has already been enormous and the nonprofit world is no exception. With the sector notoriously slow when it comes to investing in technology, the question remains: Will nonprofits embrace these revolutionary new tools or be left in the dust of this whirlwind of change?

The data on donor retention is not good. On average, over three quarters of new donors do not make a second gift. Also, the number of individual donors has dropped nearly 20 percent since the beginning of this century. It is not difficult to believe that this large drop is connected to donors feeling unappreciated and even commoditized.This purely transactional approach to donors is a particular turnoff to younger generations who are used to having lots of choices in everything they do, and need to be acknowledged and invited to become repeat donors.In this episode, we talk about Allison's 3 steps to better donor relationships, and how to increase donor retention using available technology and tools. About AllisonAllison Fine is a pioneer in the use of technology for good. She is the author of four books on the topic, most recently, The Smart Nonprofit: Staying Human Centered in an Automated World with Beth Kanter.

It's no secret that nonprofit organizations are a bit behind the times when it comes to technology. There are many reasons why nonprofits are slower to adopt new technologies, from a lack of funding and resources to the fact that many of them work on tight budgets, which can make tech seem like an unnecessary expense. Add to that the fact that as humans, we don't generally like change - adopting new technology at small organizations can feel insurmountable.In today's episode, I'm talking with Beth Kanter and Allison Fine, authors of the new book “The Smart Nonprofit: Staying Human-Centered in An Automated World” to share with us how we can integrate smart tech into nonprofit work to work more effectively and improve the impact of our work on the sector.Myths that Beth and Allison want us to walk away from:Smart technology is neutral and infallible. There are two things that can make smart tech biased. One is the assumptions and biases of the computer programmer who made the tool, and the second is the datasets on which the AI is being built, which it uses to learn and create its patterns. Cost is the main barrier for nonprofits to using smart technology. The number one barrier for nonprofits is not the resources and cost of the tools but the knowledge about what the tech does and how to use it to free up time for staff to work effectively. Beth and Allison's tips on integrating smart tech into nonprofit work Readiness: The first step is really pinpointing the pain point from the end user's point of view. We have to go through radical prioritization of what the pain point is and make it tiny especially if you're a smaller organization.Setting: Know what are the tools or the technical partners that we should look for. The vendors that you select with smart tech have to have values that are aligned with your organization. Mitigation of bias problems: Be aware of the bias of the tools and try to mitigate the problems that it creates. One way you mitigate is to ask the developers what assumptions were built into it, how it was tested and then you can test it yourself.Go: This is where we start to implement. We implement it in really small pilots and set it up, learn as we go, and make it better. Favourite Quotes from Today's Episode“It's really focusing on this reset, focusing on making the shift to smart tech so you can improve the culture of your organization. And both of them take this intentional work. And our dream is that organizations will embrace this because what we see if they do it again, this time to think time, to breathe a time to really improve the impact of their work on the sector. ” - Beth K. “You don't start to solve problems with a tool. You start to solve problems in conversation with a large group of stakeholders.” Allison F.

SummaryThe new generation of 'smart technology' - chatbots, AI, machine learning, natural language processing, robots etc. can bring major benefits to nonprofits - if they can discern what they need to do to remain human-centered in their choice of technology. And if they remain aware of the potential for bias in AI-generated data, given its profound potential negative impact?What can nonprofits – who are frequently not digital natives, let alone coders themselves – do to protect themselves against these?In this episode, we discuss the timely new book by Beth Kanter and Allison Fine: 'The Smart Nonprofit: Staying Human-Centered in an Automated World'.Beth's Bio:Nonprofit and foundation-focused trainer and independent consultantVirtual facilitatorA nonprofit innovator in digital transformation and workplace well beingAuthorAdjunct Professor at the Monterrey Institute of International StudiesAllison's Bio:Principal consultant at Allison Fine ConsultingFounder/CEO of Network of Elected WomenSenior fellow at Demos, at the Wagner School at New York UniversityFounder and Executive Director at Innovation NetworkAuthor of multiple books on (digital) networking, social media and the nonprofit sector We discuss: Tech is more available and more cheaply available than ever; that actually increases its dangersSmart tech can eliminate ‘grunt work' done by many nonprofit frontlines, operations, and fundraising staff, and create a ‘dividend' of time, which can be more strategically spent on frontline interaction with clients, evaluation and learning, horizon scanning etc.Smart tech can reduce the need for ‘astroturf campaigning', in which nonprofits transactionally engage with their ‘members' on a superficial basis; instead, it allows them to engage more deeply in getting to know new donorsSmart tech is used in the form of bots, for instance, to engage with people in the public who need services– but we have to do so very carefully How leaders need to be ‘digitally literate' and not leave these decisions with regard to adoption of new 'smart technologies' up to the Chief Technology OfficerHow nonprofits need to remain overall reflective in adopting smart tech Quotes“This book is not technical to me”“Leading through resistance in organizations is among others about doing away with outmoded ideas that only people can do nonprofit tasks” Resources:Beth's LinkedInBeth's website Allison's LinkedInAllison's websiteHarvard Business Review article: How Smart Tech is Transforming NonprofitsAmazon link to book - The smart nonprofit: staying human-centered in an automated world: here Online course on Virtual Team Leadership skillsYoutube video of this podcastClick here to

GUEST: Karen Green is executive director at Cat Adoption Team, the Pacific Northwest's largest nonprofit, feline-only animal shelter. Before that, she was senior director at the Alliance for Contraception in Cats & Dogs and assistant director of the No More Homeless Pets program at Best Friends Animal Society. MAIN QUESTION: How can animal organizations build a healthy workplace culture, which is so important in a competitive job market? TAKEAWAYS: Open two-way communication is key to having a strong, positive organizational structure. If there's a program or policy that isn't working, you need to know – so staff needs to have a way to share such information with people who can fix the problem. Ask for feedback and make it safe for people to give feedback by demonstrating your trustworthiness. Implement suggestions when they make sense. If you don't plan to implement someone's ideas or suggestions, they are more likely to accept your decision if they feel that their concerns were heard. Repeat back what the person said to make sure you understood before explaining your own position. Create an environment where people can have a good work-life balance through reasonable expectations and work hours. When people are at work, they should be working and when off, they should be encouraged to care for the other parts of their lives. Examine staffing levels and processes to support this. Gently encourage people who check in when off work by saying something like, “Aren't you supposed to be on vacation?” Sometimes there will be times you just need to put in extra hours, perhaps for a budget deadline, a special event, or a large rescue situation. But make these the exception, not the rule, so that overwork does not create burnout. Address conflicts and issues when they come up. Little problems become big problems over time.

We’re back with our second season! We’ve talked to Beth Kanter, nonprofit expert, master trainer and Lightful’s Senior Advisor, to hear her thoughts on the evolution of social networks and what it means for nonprofits. Beth is a pioneer in the nonprofit sector and she has followed closely all the big trends ever since Twitter was still a small community of people trying a new shiny toy. We’ve asked her about the future of social media, the impact of AI in our lives and also the things we need to focus on when building our digital skills. You don’t want to miss it if you are passionate about the charity sector and what’s coming next! PS. This episode was recorded before COVID-19 came into our lives, which means you get to enjoy an episode that is…COVID-free!
This recording from The Digital Nonprofit conference is about how and why it is important to treat self-care and a culture of well-being as an organizational strategy and cultural norm. When self-care initiatives are treated as “extras” instead of being built right into the fabric of an organization’s culture or leadership does not model the […]
In episode 59 we talk to speaker, author and expert on all things non-profit digital, Beth Kanter, about the impact of technology on non-profits and the challenges and opportunities that Artificial Intelligence (AI) will bring. Including: Has social media changed the game for nonprofits in terms of how they communicate? Have some of these tools levelled the playing field between big and small (or well-known and obscure) organisations? How well-equipped are nonprofits to take advantage of the potential of digital? If some organisations are struggling, what are the key barriers? Is there a danger that social media and online discourse create perverse incentives to sensationalise or simplify issues, because everyone is competing for scarce attention? Does this present a particular challenge for nonprofits? If digital tools enable people to form groups easily and organise in new ways, does this make traditional nonprofits less relevant as people look to networked models of social change? How can traditional nonprofits embrace some of the benefits of networked or decentralized approaches? Does this require a major change of structure, or just mindset? Is it better to focus on bringing existing non-profit leaders up to speed with technology and digital, or to focus on supporting the development of future leaders who might be more naturally comfortable with tech? Or do we not need to make this choice? To what extent is digital transformation actually about employment practices? (E.g. flexible/remote working, making nonprofit work more appealing than private or public sector) How many nonprofits are actually doing this well at the moment? Do nonprofits need to play a role in addressing the impact of social media on mental health and social interactions? If so, how? Why is AI a big deal for nonprofits? What impact will AI have on philanthropy and charitable giving? Are there good examples of nonprofits using conversational AI and chatbots in smart ways? Are there good examples of nonprofits using AI to improve their own processes (e.g. data entry, financial risk monitoring, grant applications etc.)? What barriers do nonprofits face when it comes to using AI? Do more nonprofits need to think about partnering with tech companies? What are the opportunities and challenges of doing so? Can nonprofits play a meaningful role in ensuring that tech is designed and implemented ethically? How far are we from making this happen in reality? What can we do to close the gap? What role is there for nonprofits in addressing some of the negative impacts of technology that we are seeing (e.g. algorithmic bias, automation replacing jobs etc.)? How is the nonprofit workplace going to change over the next decade or so?

Beth Kanter became a nonprofit social media phenomenon because she used a new technology – blogging – to take and share notes about her work. She became an expert on what makes a healthy workplace because she wasn’t feeling 100% and decided to write a book about how feeling good contributes to better functioning organizations. She was scared by math, so she wrote a book about how to measure results to slay that dragon and help others learn. Some people play Angry Birds on their phone in their spare time, and some people write best-selling books. Let’s face it, Beth puts most of the rest of us to shame. It is no wonder that she is one of the most sought-after speakers, trainers, and authors on non-profit effectiveness anywhere. Beth talks with Kirk (yes, Kirk!) about the fascinating contours of her career, the important steps that organizations need to take in order to thrive, and the seven stages of grief in measuring effectiveness. Join us for this terrific conversation with one of the most colorful and interesting leaders of our field.

[av_social_share title='Share this entry' style='' buttons='' custom_class='' admin_preview_bg=''] Episode Summary One thing that every organization encounters during the course of any campaign is stagnation. You can find success so often that this success becomes a habit in itself. This isn’t a bad thing per se, but the moment that you become complacent in your duties, even if you maintain your success, is the same moment that you stagnate. And stagnation, even if you’re successful, is a sign to your followers that you are no longer putting as much effort as you used to. In the world of non-profit fundraising, this can mean to your followers that you aren’t as interested in your cause as you were when you were just starting out. Sometimes, it really isn’t your fault that your organization’s success has reached its peak and there isn’t much that you can do to surpass the high bar of standards that you’ve established. - That’s often not the case, at least according to Albert Bandura, who believed that people are people are self organizing, proactive, self-regulating, and self-reflecting. This is based on Bandura’s Social Cognitive and Self-Efficacy Theories which propose that people do not merely respond to their environmental stimuli. Rather, people are capable of seeking information themselves and as a result, individuals are not merely a product of their circumstance. They are in fact, contributors to their situation. An individual (or organization, in this case) is more likely to improve the more that this individual (or organization) is aware of his surroundings and himself. Whatever might be holding you back as an individual has a tendency of seeping into how you feel as an organization. We’ve recently had a podcast episode where Beth Kanter, author of The Happy, Healthy Nonprofit: Strategies for Impact Without Burnout, talks about the importance of maintaining the proper mindset and adapting effective strategies to help you meet your goals while avoiding burnout. This isn’t an easy venture. Everybody stagnates eventually. It will always be up to you if you decide whether this is where you peak. However, you need to realize that this limitation is just something that you put on yourself. You can go as far as what you put your mind to. That is the beauty of the human mind and the power of mental toughness and dedication. In this podcast episode, Ellie Burscough takes us on the adventure of her life as she tells us her personal experience in working in a call center, writing scripts, and making calls to donors on behalf of large, well-known charities and nonprofits. Then, Ellie talks about how she uses the sales knowledge that she acquired throughout her career to help businesses break past their own stumbling blocks and limitations so they can take on larger goals and create a greater impact in their chosen ventures. We also talk about the similarities and differences between businesses & nonprofits, fundraising & sales, and how fundraisers can master their mindset to achieve more for others, by taking care of themselves. Ellie even shares some habits that can improve our ability to be creative and relatable to others. We learn about some of the biggest lessons she’s learned when it comes to mastering her own mindset. Her valuable advice and actionable takeaways will leave you motivated and ready to take on your day, every day. About Ellie Burscough Ellie is a business and mindset coach with experience working with the not-for-profit sector. She has worked at call centers writing scripts and making calls to donors on behalf of large, well known charities and nonprofits. She teaches the psychology behind scaling your goals.

[av_social_share title='Share this entry' style='' buttons='' custom_class='' admin_preview_bg=''] Episode Summary It’s not just about mindset that determines the success of your fundraising. We all have things that we want to do. We all want to make an impact wherever we can and we all want to feel good about the work that we do. A successful fundraising campaign isn’t just about mindset. It’s about much more than that. Successful fundraising is about figuring out how to make the pieces of your puzzle work. It’s about synchronicity and timing. It’s about building relationships and giving people the power to influence change. Figuring out who you are and surrounding yourself with people who understand your mission as much as you do is an integral part of successfully championing a cause. You need to learn to love what you do, regardless of the difficulty that the tasks may bring. This dogged determination and utmost willingness to make a sacrifice is paramount to the success of your campaign. But this isn’t all that you need. You may have all the fuel you could ever need, but without knowing how to actually drive a car, you aren’t going anywhere. And all that fuel, all that passion and determination, won’t amount to much without the proper strategies. Somewhere along the road, you’re going to encounter a few bumps. Some will be bigger than the others but you should perceive all of them in the same manner - as a learning experience. And with each learning experience, you need to be able to create a strategy that coincides with the lesson that you’ve learned. Our book, “Brick by Brick”, discusses a few ways on how you can polish your strategies so that you are able to produce more results while also minimizing the wastage of resources. You may have all the things you need for a fundraising campaign, but for you to fully realize your goals, you need to analyze your processes and optimize them to prevent the unnecessary expenditure of resources; because one way to slow your progress is by exerting effort that really isn’t necessary, to achieve results that aren’t truly up to your standards. In this episode, Beth Kanter, author of The Happy, Healthy Nonprofit: Strategies for Impact Without Burnout shares to us the strategies that keep her energized and focused on her mission everyday, as well as a narrative on how she began her nonprofit fundraising journey. In this podcast episode, we’re going to talk about maintaining perspective and being able to work with a clear mind, and how this can help you avoid getting burnt out. We discuss some of the characteristics of a healthy organization, board, and community along with some of the best leadership strategies for young adults to help prepare themselves as future leaders. We’ll also be talking about making connections, measuring your audience’s reactions, and using data (qualitative and quantitative) to help you build your own community. We’re also going to discuss the challenges that you may encounter as you progress with your fundraising campaign and how you can overcome them. Best of all, Beth gives listeners her #1 suggestion for what you should take action on for your organization if you’re looking to find that special balance.

She discusses creative techniques to promote organizational changes that are designed to advance employees' well-being.
Nobody wants to be the person that can’t do something. But sometimes, that’s what is necessary to ensure that you’ll keep your sanity. There’s only so much time in the day, and you’re only one person. Our panelists talked about the importance of saying “no,” and the best ways to do that. They also shared their thought on taking personal time away from the office, and when you should just ignore that email in your work account.

The Happy, Healthy Nonprofit presents realistic strategies for leaders looking to optimize organizational achievement while avoiding the common nonprofit burnout. With a uniquely holistic approach to nonprofit leadership strategy, this book functions as a handbook to help leaders examine their existing organization, identify trouble spots, and resolve issues with attention to all aspects of operations and culture. Beth Kanter is the author of Beth’s Blog: How Nonprofits Can Use Social Media, one of the longest running and most popular blogs for nonprofits. Beth has over 30 years working in the nonprofit sector in technology, training, capacity building, evaluation, fundraising, and marketing.

Self-care: sometimes it feels like a new age buzzword, and other times it's something you really, really, need. Morra talks to non-profit leaders Aliza Sherman, Beth Kanter, and Christine Koh about how to build self-care into your daily routine, avoid burnout, and still be highly effective at work.
Burnout is often held up as a badge of pride in for-profit and non-profit businesses alike. We talk about the incredible hours, service above and beyond, the missed school plays and late nights, outrageously high goals achieved, but at what price? Not only for our personal lives, but for the businesses we work for. Over-worked teams make mistakes, healthcare costs rise, creativity takes a nose-dive. Nonprofits tend to be tightly staffed with everyone on the team working at full capacity to make a difference in the world, supporting causes they believe in.

You know how to take care of you. You just don’t do it. Right? There are so many reasons why - responsibilities, kids, business, family - there’s no end to the things that demand a piece of your time, a piece of you. It can easily feel like there’s no time left over to take care of yourself, but if you don’t figure it out you know that you’re going to crash eventually. Today’s guest is Rosetta’s friend, Aisha Moore an expert in self-care who teaches busy women like you how to care for themselves first so they can ensure that they have the energy to serve others at home and in their business. What Aisha has to share today could save your life, both figuratively and literally, so be sure you listen. What IS self-care and why is it important? When you think of self-care, what comes to mind? Is it a nice manicure or pedicure? Is it time alone, reading a book or enjoying your favorite drink? Those things definitely qualify as self-care but the concept and practice entail so much more than just those acts. Aisha Moore has learned the importance of self-care the hard way, experiencing her own health issues that pushed her to make some clear changes to the way she was living. Her story serves as both an example and an inspiration to women all over the world and you are sure to learn something as you listen to her tell about the transformation that the practice of self-care has had in her life. Your self-care needs to match what’s going on in your life. It’s impossible to take care of you by doing the exact things that other people do to take care of themselves. Each person is different and requires different things for the nurturing of their own soul. But there’s also the issue of what’s going on in your life. As the seasons of life come and go you will find that you need different self-care habits than you did before. On this episode, Aisha Moore shares how this phenomenon happens and how you can learn to be flexible and wise in the way you take care of yourself, so be sure you take the time to listen. You need to practice self-care every day to be your optimal self. Self-care is not something you should allow to be a hit and miss thing. You are not invulnerable. You are not free of the normal human weaknesses that we all fall prey to from time to time. But you can prevent much of the physical, emotional, and spiritual difficulties that threaten you by practicing self-care every day. On this episode, Aisha Moore shares a handful of ideas of how you can build self-care disciplines into your life on a daily basis. You’ll learn some fresh ideas for taking care of yourself that Aisha has seen help many others. You have to make some hard decisions to make self-care a priority. If you know you need to take care of you in order to be healthy you probably also know that you are going to have to make some tough decisions to ensure that it happens. You won’t stumble into self-care, you have to be intentional about it. On this episode, Aisha Moore tells Rosetta (and you) some great ways to set aside the time for self-care in your busy schedule and gives some ideas about how you can make the hard choices that are required if you are going to be your best self. Are you ready for the challenge? Listen to find out more. Outline of this great episode [0:31] Rosetta’s introduction of her guest, Aisha Moore.
