Nonprofit work can be stressful. I made this ASMR video for nonprofit professionals. Here it is, in case you’re not on Instagram. I hope it helps you relax. #NonprofitASMR

Debbie Allen is the first Black woman to win the Governors Award #Emmy. In her acceptance speech, she called on women and young people to make their voices heard. "Sing your song, tell your stories," she said. "It will make us a better place. Your turn.” forbes.com/sites/dawnchmiele…

I don’t mind billionaires. But I do mind billionaires being called “philanthropists” when they spend .1% of their time on a cause, while nonprofit workers who spend 150% of their time on it are called opportunists for wanting salaries that dignify the value of their effort.

Imagine if donors and the media gave non-profits the wide latitude to spend money in whatever way they see fit to achieve long-term objectives that investors give to all of the corporations in which they buy stock.

Looking forward to Auntie Deb running the Interior Dept
Do these people realize how ridiculous they look? ‘Mike Lee of Utah [asked] Haaland if she thought it was “appropriate for people with connections to the land… to be involved in the national monument designation process?”’ #DebForInterior thenation.com/article/politi…
The #AZleg passed signed HB2056, a win-win that protects farmers + gets flowing water back into rivers. Still more to be done to #ProtectAZRivers, but this was a critical step supported by @EDFaction and @Water4Arizona. Thank you @dougducey @AZSenateDems @AZSenateGOP

We do this work for our children and our children's children and all future generations.
This is what I was thinking as I watched the commercials. Where are the messages to America from the nonprofit sector?
The total absence of a message from the nonprofit sector to America on the Super Bowl tonight is nothing less than an abdication by the sector’s leaders, and particularly the leaders of its largest foundations, who could have afforded to shower the public with such a message.
Can I just retweet this one every day?

When I wait 45 min on hold for #DovenmuehleMortgage only to be told I have to call a different number to resolve an issue with my escrow account and I'm on hold again. #corporategreed or #corporateincompetence?
But I don’t want to waste all that paper (whines).
4 dead-obvious ways to improve response rates to your direct mail #fundraising appeal: 1. Include a separate reply slip, and 2. Make the reply slip a full page, and 3. Include a reply envelope, and 4. Make the reply envelope postage-paid (or add your own stamps) 💌✍️🌎
