As Founders/Executive Directors we hold our visions so close that we often become fearful at the very thought of someone attempting to fill our shoes and carry out plans/or our babies, so we make excuses as to why we’d rather work alone. We don’t realize that we stifle our organizations growth when we don’t build a team until we become burned out, frustrated, and contemplate giving up. Want to know the quickest way to fulfill your nonprofits vision? HIRE, TRAIN, TRUST AND DELEGATE.

I too have experienced the fear of letting someone take over “my baby” but overcame the fear when I met a very successful business owner that told me the key to growth is building a strong team. On this episode, I am excited to introduce to you Ms. Alayna Sipple who will also soon become YouthNique’s Lead Strategist.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month! Some of the viewers may know my personal story of my uncle who committed suicide in 2013 but there are several others whom I stand with in the fight to dispel myths so that others who are currently suffering in silence will confidently seek help.

Nonprofits do more than just good; they are the backbone of this world, the essential ingredient to the betterment of humanity but without funding they cannot efficiently fulfill their mission. We have been talking about nonprofit financial needs in honor of April being financial literacy month.

One of the most frequent inquiries that we receive at YouthNique from nonprofits is “Can you assist us with funding?”. Our response is “of course we can!”, but before we can create an innovative funding strategy we need to learn more about the organizational structure and operations. There are some key components to securing funding as a nonprofit and because we are observing April as financial literacy month, you will be learning all about them from some of the best nonprofit financial experts. Walter Dees is a financial well-being coach for Operation Hope. Operation Hope is a nonprofit organization that is the best-in-class provider of financial literacy empowerment for youth, financial capability for communities and financial dignity for all.

Women are known for their hair, flair, fashion, passion, and their overcoming ability to fight through pain and strain. They love and live and most importantly they give.

As we close a special month of celebrating our Sheroes during Women’s History Month I struggled with how to commemorate so many wonderful contributions of women throughout history. Because at times we highlight the careers of women a bit more than we highlight their hearts, I take time to acknowledge the Sheroes we love on screen as actresses, entertainers, and business moguls and the charitable contributions they make through foundations and nonprofits.
