I was just wondering, is anyone having back-to-school events this weekend or next? Sometimes there is just so much transition in the lives of families. I have always encouraged nonprofit clients to be different and fill in the gaps. I call it the gap of need. What if you kept enough backpacks, socks, gloves, hats, underwear, etc for the year? Give out periodically during off seasons of giving. Good360.org is a great resource for nonprofits that want to partner together and get truckloads of retail items and do give-aways during those gap period as well as times when a family is suddenly in transition and the child doesn’t have supplies anymore. Just a nighttime thought.🙃🌖😴

If you’re building a nonprofit and feeling like there is still so much to figure out, I want to remind you of something tonight: You do not have to build everything at once. You need the next right step. Maybe that step is getting your paperwork organized. Maybe it is finally asking someone for support. Maybe it is learning how to fund the mission. Maybe it is simply getting clear about what your organization actually needs right now. Small, intentional steps still build strong organizations. So before you log off tonight, tell me this: What is ONE thing you want to move forward in your nonprofit this week or next week? Drop it below. Someone in this community may have a resource, connection, idea, or encouragement that can help. 💚
