In Episode 94 of the Charity Charge Show, Stephen talks to Katie Appold, Executive Director of Do More Good & Nonprofit Hub, whose mission is to create and curate content to help nonprofits do more good. Stephen and Katie Appold talk about the upcoming Cause Camp (September 14-15, 2022), the struggles nonprofits are facing transitioning to a digital fundraising model, and creating great nonprofit boards. Katie's nonprofit career includes a variety of leadership roles for human service, foundation, and publishing-related nonprofits as well as many volunteer roles. Under Katie's leadership, nonprofit organizations have developed new programs related to free healthcare, affordable and accessible housing and literacy programs for K-12 students. In her first Executive Director role, Katie increased the annual revenue of the organization she led by 300% and received the top grant prize in the nation for affordable housing through the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis. Today, she leads Do More Good, the parent organization of Nonprofit Hub and Cause Camp which collectively serve more than 50,000 nonprofits throughout North America. Her educational background includes an undergraduate degree in business administration and a masters degree in nonprofit leadership. Katie is the past board president of Gracious Grounds, a housing organization serving individuals with disabilities. She is an active member of the Grand Rapids Young Nonprofit Professionals, the Grand Rapids Chamber of Commerce, Cause Network, the Lakeshore Nonprofit Alliance and the Association of Fundraising Professionals. Katie Appold on the struggles nonprofits are facing in transitioning to a digital fundraising model and the speakers at Cause Camp 2022: I would say the largest challenge that we're seeing organizations face is a transition to majority digital communication and fundraising. Pre-pandemic in person events like galas, golf outings, and one on one coffee meetings with donors were still happening. Thankfully, those things are coming back, and they're coming back strong, which is wonderful. But over the two years when the pandemic was at its peak, people really had to communicate digitally, and nonprofits had to raise their support digitally. So we're seeing a lot of organizations who are doing the right things, but they need to tweak and perfect and test and learn how to do them better. Our solution is that we've built this year's Cause Camp's speaker list to address a lot of those issues that we see nonprofits facing. This year we have Dana Snyder, the gal who was the driving force behind Movember, talking about how you can take your mission and make it an online movement. We will also have Nathan Hill talking about how you can communicate to donors why they should give to your mission digitally? Because if you have no other way to connect with a donor other than email, it's crucial to know what you can say and do in that email to 1) make them open it and 2) connect with them in your message. Chris Hammond will also be talking about how nonprofit leaders need a strong personal network to build a strong organization, which I think is something that is often overlooked. Chris is going to talk about how to create that personal network digitally using tools like LinkedIn and connecting with people via text and email to keep relationships strong. Additionally, we have Mark Ostach, who's talking about hybrid work environments for nonprofits and how to make teams thrive.

A core teaching principle of Do More Good and Nonprofit Hub is that nonprofits have one and only one purpose: to grow a supporter. Without support, you can't fulfill your mission. As much we'd love to take credit for this wisdom, it was actually the business guru Peter Drucker who originated this perspective. In this episode, Katie talks to Lindsay LaShell, the founder of Open Lines Communication and long-time teacher of Nonprofit Hub's Marketing Bootcamp portion of Cause Camp. Lindsay shares her wisdom on how nonprofits can prioritize marketing even when they think they don't have time or capacity.

Have you ever considered forming a nonprofit? Then get inspired by Amy Gatzemeyer as she discusses her experience of working with a team of friends to start the nonprofit, TRIBE, which provides yoga to active duty military members. We'll discuss how the four founders connected, what the process of starting the nonprofit was like, and how the founders maintained the organization's operations even after moving away from each other and while tackling major life events.   On my personal Go Find Out update, I'll talk about sticking to a routine that includes a morning workout and how I just need to suck it up and make a decision on whether to outsource having an ebook cover made (versus saving money and making a poor cover myself).   Show Notes & Links:   Check out TRIBE's website or follow them on Facebook where they are doing virtual yoga sessions!

I would guess that when Nonprofit Jenni Show listeners email me, about half of the emails are asking for my advice about how to start a new nonprofit organization supporting a cause they feel really passionate about. I love that passion--we need more of that spirit in the world! But is starting a nonprofit organization really the most effective way to create meaningful, lasting change in the areas that matter most? In this week’s star-studded podcast episode, two of my favorite nonprofit thought leaders share their advice on what you should consider before you decide to form a new nonprofit organization.   First, Randy Hawthorne (CEO of Nonprofit Hub and podcast host of the Nonprofit Hubcast) shares his perspective on how aspiring philanthropists and do-gooders should decide whether starting a nonprofit is the right way to support their favorite cause. He shares some questions you can ask yourself to figure out whether you would be able to sustain a nonprofit organization in the long term. Then Molly MacCready (Founder/Executive Director of CROSO and podcast host of Nonprofit Optimist) shares the story of how she founded her nonprofit organization in her junior year of college, and what she would have done differently with the benefit of hindsight. She also offers some direction for people who think starting a nonprofit may not be the way to go, but aren’t sure where to turn next.

My guest, Randy Hawthorne, co-Founder of Nonprofit Hub, joins us to discuss why every he believes every business needs to have a powerful mission statement. Randy also breaks down his method that business owners can implement to begin crafting their dynamic mission statement.   What You’ll Learn: What is a mission statement and why does every business need one? Why your mission statement is one of the first things you should focus on and create when you launch a business Deciphering your “why” is more than just a cool fad to participate in What is the key component when you want to get started when creating your mission statement? The best way to start crafting your mission statement is to start by telling stories about how you want your product or service to affect people when they interact with it Should you create your mission statement alone or with others? How often should you update your statement? Why it’s important to share your mission with your employees and customers in order to get others to get excited and buy into your mission statement Does the mission statement play into the hiring process? Why super aspirational and convoluted mission statements are useless Resources: Nonprofit Hub’s workbook on how to craft a mission statement Contact Information: randy.hawthorne@nonprofithub.org Social media: @rdhawthorne Thank you for listening to the show!
