I came across this quote today that I think should be hung in every nonprofit workplace across the country. It's a great reminded of why we do what we do. "You are not here merely to make a living. You are here in order to enable the world to live more amply, with greater vision, with a finer spirit of hope and achievement. You are here to enrich the world, and you impoverish yourself if you forget the errand.

Did you realize that most of today’s “hot” gadgets will be totally outdated in just a few years. Here are some examples: The first IBM PC, first hand-held calculator, boom box, cassette player, rotary phone, B&W TV, AM radio and many more. What others come to your mind? So while you are thinking of ideas to share with us, should you hang on to that new iPhone you are about to purchase as a collector’s item, or get rid of it when the new one comes out?

If you've been working in nonprofit management for any amount of time, you should already be fairly adept at recognizing good partnership opportunities. Whether it's working with a local office supplies retailer to put together back-to-school packages for the low-income children you serve, or joining with other social service agencies that provide complimentary, but different, services in a public outreach campaign, there are a million reasons to work in partnership with other nonprofit agencies

Jonathan Peizer, of JP's Philanthropy Blog, had a great post yesterday called Being Smart and Being a Good Manager is Not the Same , and I've got to agree with him. JP says, in part: Not that they are exclusive mind you. However, in my travels I have found many smart/intellectual/degreed people who assume that because they hold the title of manager and they are smart, they are de facto good managers.

A little over a year ago I blogged about a Reverend in England who gave 90 parishioners £10 each with the request that they do something with it to increase the donation within six months. I've thought about that story often in the year or so since then, and find I am still inspired by it. This morning I have launched a website dedicated to spreading the word that fundraising doesn't always have to to be difficult or expensive.

WiFi spots are not only becoming ubiquitous they are now starting to appear in cars, trains and even airplanes. Imagine driving your car while being able to check (carefully of course) on the best restaurants in the area or at your destination as well as what special events of interest you may want to attend. Imagine connecting your laptop to the Internet while riding the train or even on that international flight you are on.

The Nonprofiteer today has a great posting on why funders often ask for your nonprofit's Strategic Plan, and offers a fairly painless outline of a quick and useful planning process. First, to the question of "Why plan?" the Nonprofiteer offers this: "Serve as many people as possible" is not a strategic plan; it's a mission--and a relatively uninspiring one, at that.

Many people starting new nonprofits have a strong vision of what they expect the organization to be, and how they want to run it, only to wind up disillusioned or fighting with their board when they realize that nonprofits are cooperative enterprises. So, whose nonprofit is it anyway? That's the question being asked today on the new "Nonprofit Connectors" blog.

It's my honor once again to host the Carnival of Nonprofit Consultants. This is always a pleasure because I get to take some out to really read what some of my colleagues have been writing and select a handful of the best posts for the Carnival. With as busy as we all tend to get (I know I've been busy, and my lack of posting here is a result of that), it's important to remember that feeding our brain is an important part of being a professional.

In a recent article in the wsj by Benjamin Netanyahoo, previous Prime Minister of Israel and currently the leader for the Opposition in the Knesset, he wrote about the potential of peace and the importance of prosperity based on the current successes in Dubai and the gulf states: “With the right incentives and economic freedoms, you see this explosive growth that I frankly admire … We always said that if we have peace, then we’ll have prosperity.

Well, I slightly changed the words of the song just to make my point.
