Foundations: How can we help? Nonprofits: We need more money F: Your current restricted grants are now flexible! N: That’s great, but we need more money F: Report deadlines extended! N: Money! We need money! F: Here’s a toolkit! N: 😕 F: We’re all in this together!

Hey funders, remember this ancient proverb: “If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, give multi-year general operating dollars, invest in BIPOC leaders, and knock it off with all the BS in your grant applications”

Whether you are vaccinated or not, the CDC recommends you disclose the salary in your job postings instead of putting bullshit like “competitive compensation”

By age 30 and having a career in nonprofit, you should have: —wanted to be an ED —met someone who is an ED who looks so grizzled and haunted by being an ED that you vowed never to ever be an ED —thought about going into real estate

“companies could face up to a $10,000 fine if salary ranges aren’t part of a posting. Employers can also no longer ask for a prospective employee’s salary history.” Tides are turning for #ShowTheSalary

Normalize sending out job interview questions in advance. Also, normalize employers sending thank-you notes to everyone who took time to go through a job interview

What is “salary commensurate with experience” if not inequity persevering?

I’m thinking of starting a subscription box service for nonprofit professionals. Each month you’ll get a box with assorted stuff you might find useful: Duct tape, a shirt from Ross Dress for Less, tissues for grant rejections, a Magic 8 Ball, mouse traps. Send ideas

Talked to a group who wants me to keynote but thinks the “AF” in “Nonprofit AF” is too controversial. Really! THAT’s what you think would be most controversial?! My sweet summer child...

Funders, stop surveying nonprofits on how covid affects them! They are losing funds, facing layoffs, and are in crisis. There, survey complete, just give money!

If you were planning to attend a nonprofit’s fundraising event but it got canceled or virtualized, donate online what you were going to donate at the event. A lot of orgs are hurting.
