Talking to the Media

How do nonprofits get better at talking to the media about our mission, programs and needs? Stacey joins guest expert Linda Bridges, Chief Marketing and Communications Officer at SafeNest for the answer. Thanks for joining us this week! If you have any time between saving the world and pulling your hair out, please send your questions to Questions@NonprofitEverything.com.

Avoiding Negative News Stories

How do you keep from being the subject of a negative news story? Stacey and Andy have some thoughts. Also this week, we talk about what a better set of nonprofit financial statements looks like. Thanks for joining us this week (and this entire year!), and please send your questions to questions@NonprofitEverything.com.

Drunk at the Gala

This week, we find out if you can send a donor to collection for failing to honor a pledge, and Stacey has some great advice about attending a donor’s funeral. We also attempt to clear up the confusion between Trustees and Directors, and tap guest expert Karen Durkin, Executive Coach at Houldsworth, Russo & Company to answer a really hard question about how to keep staff from freaking out after an executive gets the axe.

Topics:
  • Enforceable Pledges
  • Attending a Donor’s Funeral
  • Trustees vs. Directors
  • Handling a High-Profile Firing/Departure, with Karen Durkin
