Top Takeaways

  • Digital community is the future. Look for ways to unite your supporters virtually and facilitate connections between them, like regular Zoom calls with your monthly givers to update them on programs.
  • Storytelling is the most powerful tool in the nonprofit arsenal. Don’t just tell your good stories once, syndicate them across channels, and look for ways to reuse the pieces.
  • Mental health should be a huge priority in the sector. Compassion fatigue, burnout, and stress are occupational hazards for nonprofit folks. Check out We Are For Good’s mental health resources as a starting place.
