May is excited to welcome Nicole Miller-Coleman, a professional fundraiser and consultant to nonprofits. Together, they extensively explore the realm of nonprofit board membership. When presented with the opportunity to join a nonprofit's board, what actions should you consider to protect yourself? Furthermore, what potential breaches of the bylaws could a board member commit, and to what extent does promoting diversity hold significance within the board? May and Nicole will answer these thought-provoking questions today on The Nonprofit Counsel Podcast.   IN THIS EPISODE:   [01:16] Nicole shares her background working in many areas of the nonprofit sector [03:36] Nicole explains the distinction between a Certified Nonprofit Professional and a Certified Fundraising Executive [07:52] How do you know if you are suited to sit on the board of a nonprofit [12:57] Nicole discusses the importance of bylaws and minutes and transparency around finances [18:17] Nicole talks about one of her favorite boards and bringing on a diversified board [22:09] What constitutes a conflict of interest for a board member   KEY TAKEAWAYS:    One should only join a nonprofit board after reading the bylaws and reviewing the financials. If you're going to sit on a nonprofit board, you want to make a difference; otherwise, it feels like you're just wasting your time. Make sure the nonprofit appeals to you personally. There are many governmental forms that a nonprofit should be filling out. If they don't file them, the nonprofit status could be in jeopardy. As a prospective member, do your research into if these forms have been completed correctly.   RESOURCES:   For Profit Law Group - Website   Nonprofit Counsel - Website   Nonprofit Counsel - Instagram   Nonprofit Counsel - Linkedin   Nicole Miller-Coleman - Website   ABOUT THE HOST: May Harris has been a pioneer of nonprofit law practice for over a decade, having founded For Purpose Law Group in April 2012.

I am so excited to have Jenn Klein on the podcast today to talk about philanthropy. She's the founder of You Are A Philanthropist, certified fundraising executive, major gift officer, health coach, mother of two, and soon-to-be author of a book coming out this spring called Giving is Selfish. We're going to talk about philanthropy, work-life balance, health and wellness, and the reasons why people give back.In this episode:[04:45] How nonprofit leaders can embrace the idea of being a philanthropist and create a culture of philanthropy in their organizations[09:35] How you can ensure every team member feels included in the mission and believe what they do matters [12:00] Self-care as part of giving back: the concept of giving to yourself first so you can then give to others[18:06] Where to start if you want to give back [24:40] How nonprofits can make volunteering and giving back more accessible[27:35] How stewardship is a key component of fundraising and philanthropyRESOURCESShop You Are A Philanthropist at https://youareaphilanthropist.com/NOTEWORTHY QUOTES“There's something hardwired within us to feel good when we give and I wanted more people to feel that excitement. I want more people to know the health benefits of philanthropy.”“When you have a positive work environment, you just feel better. It's easier to come to work. You have more energy to give. ““When we talk about self-care, I think of giving to myself in order for me to give to others.”“We have a lot of people that we can look to be grateful for. And gratitude is such an important component of philanthropy.”“I believe we forget the value of time. Fundraisers tend to think of things in terms of who's giving the most money, and I like to think of who's giving the most time. Because we're never going to get that time back [...] You're giving a piece of yourself that you can't get back.”CONNECT WITH JENNFounder Jenn Klein had an epiphany that after 10 years in nonprofits, she could call herself a philanthropist. She spent her career in community organizing and education. She spent hours working at lower-than-average nonprofit salaries and overtime working for charitable causes. She realized that being a philanthropist was also about how we spend our time—and what sacrifices we make.Linkedin: Jenn Klein, CFRE, CHCPodcast: You ArAchieving Year-End Fundraising Confidence with a $400k Case StudyThis free workshop will happen on Thursday, September 21 at 4:30 - 5:30 pm CST.
