Today on Nonprofit Problem Solver we’re up to Episode 4 in our Summer Series of one-to-one conversations.  I’m thrilled to be speaking with Jeanne Bell, who’s well known as a contributor to Nonprofit Quarterly and has a wide range of deep experience in nonprofit organizational development.  Our topic today is an important one, especially if you’re a nonprofit leader trying to initiate meaningful next steps around race equity.  We’re exploring the Board-Staff disconnect on Race Equity and trying to get as practical as possible about moving from words to action.

We close out our first series of Nonprofit Problem Solver with episode 12, a closer look at Board & Strategy, and we focus on some must do’s and some nice-to-haves in terms of Board succession planning, recruitment and onboarding, and ongoing Board education.  We also get an update from the panel about how 2020 has redefined strategic planning and why, instead of postponing, every Board should be actively planning right now and part of that is taking initial steps to address systemic racism in every one of our organizations.

In episode 11, we return to Marketing & Development, and we go head first right into the renewed confrontation with race that we’re having in the US right now and what it means for the way nonprofits engage their communities, their staff and colleagues, their partners and donors and the people we serve.   

This isn’t the time to be comfortable or cloud our meanings with delicate euphemisms that try to be bold and inoffensive at the same time.  We’re finally entering a more serious and committed period in our conversations about race and equity and everyone on our panel has something to say.

Here in episode 10, our theme is Programs & Services, and we are flying without our usual panel format today in place of a more interactive group conversation. We take things right back to basics firstly clarifying the confusion and overlap between events, programs and event-based programming.  And of course, it’s 2020, so we cover the pivot to virtual and we pick up on the fact that no matter what your programs and services are or who they serve, we have to address racial equity with intention and that often means bringing your Board closer to your programs.  Take a listen.

We start by getting an update from the panel about what’s been working or not working during Covid?   

We then move to asking how Exec Directors and Development Directors can encourage and support Board Members to be fully engaged in fundraising.

Finally we ask the panel to review how Covid has altered the standard wisdom around those basic development questions such as small versus large gifts, tactics to upgrade one-offs to recurring gifts, segmentation and so on.
