Build one on one relationships with each of your nonprofit's supporters.The world of fundraising is changing. In an increasingly digital world, traditional fundraising tactics are becoming less and less successful for nonprofits. People want to be able to donate to causes conveniently and on the social platforms where they spend their time. Through their donation, they wish to share in a nonprofit's mission and connect with a community of supporters like themselves. This-and much more-is possible through social giving-a new mode for fundraising that accounts for over $7 billion dollars (and counting) in nonprofit donations.Every nonprofit can leverage social giving to maximize their fundraising potential, energizing their nonprofit to do more good. In One-Click to Give, Jeremy Berman and Nick Black, founders of GoodUnited, share how they've partnered with nonprofits from across the U.S. to raise over $1 billion through social giving. By humanizing, personalizing, and revolutionizing social media fundraising, they are transforming the way nonprofits fundraise and engage their supporters. This guidebook is essential for the nonprofit leader who seeks sustainable funding to continue their world-changing missions.

Nonprofit leaders, particularly those who in their work must stare into the abyss of the human condition - health, safety, housing, hunger, abuse, grief - don't need a guide to running better meetings. They need support keeping the ship afloat and keeping themselves mentally and emotionally fit; they need a greater understanding of themselves and their colleagues more than just about anything else. Because the work can be so fraught, any conversation that seeks to support such leaders must be real. This book offers deep insights and practical strategies that enable nonprofit leaders to navigate their way through extraordinary challenges. Through examples and case studies that illustrate important principles of personal and professional development, leaders will learn actionable strategies to manage the chaos both inside and outside of their organizations. It all begins with a sense of self, an awareness of one's leadership style, and one's personal strengths and weaknesses. From that understanding comes a greater sensitivity to the needs of colleagues and partners; and from that understanding flows the ability, through a stronger organization, to change the world.

The problem addressed in this study is how the dimensions of servant leadership have impacted the performance of non-profit organizations (NPOs) during a pandemic. The purpose of this quantitative correlational design study was to determine the extent to which management teams' principles of servant leadership effect the performance of NPOs during a pandemic. The research question guiding this study was "to what extent do the seven dimensions of servant leadership effect how NPOs perform during a pandemic?" Multiple hypotheses were derived from the research question to be evaluated during the study. A quantitative methodology was chosen because it allowed large volumes of quantified numerical data to be compared to verify or reject these hypotheses.

This study followed a quantitative methodology to help narrow the gap in research between what is not known in relation to the nonprofit manager's technical training on the use of big data technology. Today's data is the most critical asset, but progress toward big data technology-oriented usage needs to be accessed by the nonprofit.

The "Moneyball" thesis is simple: Using statistical analysis, small-market baseball teams can change their odds for success by accruing assets that are undervalued or overlooked by other teams (and selling overvalued ones). Through a nonprofit lens, this thesis could be compared to a small organization regularly securing large donations traditionally captured by larger national entities and institutions such as medical research organizations, hospitals, global humanitarian organizations, and more.In today's society, where nonprofit sector information is more accessible and transparent than ever, it's not just the mission of the more established organizations that yields more significant donations. There are considerable disparities at play, including the ability to secure the very best in fundraising talent and the systems and tech that support their continued success.Nonprofit Moneyball tackles those disparities head-on by deconstructing the skills of the most successful fundraisers and provides a blueprint for organizations and the sector at large on how to identify, recruit, develop, and equip a new generation of talent to help build a diverse and robust social sector that can raise the resources needed to support and strengthen our society at a time when it's needed the most.

This book deals with regional sustainability, which is one of the biggest issues in Japan today, and presents suggested methods and cases to show how regional management should be carried out. Today, regions in Japan are facing long-term global challenges such as changes in climate and in international relations, as well as regional financial difficulties due to depopulation and aging. Additional causes are the decline of traditional culture and community sustainability, the crisis of public services, inner- and inter-regional disparities, disaster response, and other local and region-specific issues that are intricately related. To meet the challenge of those issues, local actors must deal with the regional issues themselves and solve them in cooperation with various other stakeholders. From this perspective, the book exhibits regional management frameworks, focusing especially on evaluation, decision making, and aid in multi-dimensional approaches, and examines case studies for making regions sustainable by allowing diverse actors to realize diverse values and standards in cooperation. The chapters cover a wide range of disciplines, including urban science, economics, geography, landscape, real estate, and public finance, which makes it possible to shed light on a particular region.This book comprises a collection of essays celebrating the life and work of Kiyoko Hagihara, honorary professor of the Graduate School of Urban Science, Tokyo Metropolitan University, Japan. Essay contributors include her former students as well as regional scientists with similar interests.
