But these folks are on the ground doing the real work of supporting nonprofits and nonprofit leaders - they've got their pulse on trends - what to pay attention to , what you may have missed, and what you can safely ignore as distractions.I hope you enjoy listening to this episode and get as much out of it as I have in pulling it together!PredictionsNaomi Korb Weiss discusses DEI challenges and nonprofit response.Daniel Francavilla talks about authentic storytelling with AI.Perry Radford explores burnout and sustainable work.Tanya Bhattacharya highlights executive visibility and trust.Heather Nelson shares insights on deeper corporate partnerships.Steven Newland examines economic shifts and fundraising.Tasha Van Vlack emphasizes community-building for connection.Naomi Hattaway covers leadership transitions and planning.Kel Haney focuses on personalized donor engagement.A Few Key TakeawaysThe Need for Strategic Adaptability: Nonprofits must stay agile and proactive in the face of shifting economic conditions, political landscapes, and evolving donor expectations.

It's All About Community Building When it comes to organic content or paid advertising I think it's worth looking at the fact that you can build a community online without paid advertising to start and there's a lot of things you can do organically to get out there. You can interact and comment on other places that your audience and your target audience will be likely to be. That's free, apart from your time which is not always free but that doesn't cost your business any money at the time. This is powerful especially for a small business, individual entrepreneur or start ups. Curating Content From Others If you are more established you have customers and supporters that are looking to actually create content in your own community. You could save a ton of time on new content creation and not worry about the expense of filming original design pieces by curating content from your supporters and followers as they share their own experiences with your business. Just Ask For Content Create a challenge that people can participate in. Get them to share their submissions on your own platform, whether it's using your hashtag or not. You are able to use those submissions later. If you can also put out content that's impactful or informative that people can actually respond to, you can then remix those responses and those comments. Easily Get Instagram Followers With The $1.80 strategy. It's just a matter of choosing content from 10 different hashtags within your niche and then commenting on nine posts every single day that you choose from that are maybe relevant to engage with.
