Nonprofits Devise Creative Solutions to Address Federal Funding Cuts nonprofitquarterly.org/nonprofits-d... @vickipozzebon.bsky.social @prosperapartners.org #nonprofits

"The stories included here come from a community of practice of NM–based nonprofits launched in early 2025, and from recent clients. And although they are inspiring, the bottom line is that the withdrawal of federal funds is harming the sector." nonprofitquarterly.org/nonprofits-d...

Nonprofits have been through a lot the past year, and some of them are getting creative with their challenges. Thanks to all you allowed me to share their stories in my latest for @npquarterly.bsky.social nonprofitquarterly.org/nonprofits-d...

This, 100X. Everyday.

In Australia, social enterprise is widely perceived as being a movement, and federal support plays a key role. There may be lessons in that for US social enterprises. Read more from @vickipozzebon.bsky.social: nonprofitquarterly.org/social-enter... @prosperapartners.org

My latest article in @npquarterly.bsky.social on what we can learn in the US from our Australian friends when it comes to social enterprise.

Happy Giving Tuesday, everybody!

The more you know…

Had the pleasure of meeting the legend and author, Julia Cameron, tonight. 13 years ago this month, I picked up a copy of her book Transitions and launched my consulting company and have built my facilitation and leadership work with her inspirations. Now I have to write a Substack about it all! ❤️🙏🏻📖

Why, yes I do have a TBR pile next to my bed. You?

Celebrating People and Planet First week gives us a great excuse to share—in plain terms—what we do. As a People and Planet First verified business, we are proud to work for the greater good, creating real change for communities and putting people and planet first. #PPFWEEK #PeopleAndPlanetFirst

The Race to Lead 2025 survey will offer critical insights into race, leadership, and equity in the nonprofit sector. Anyone who currently works for pay at a np org in the US or its territories, regardless of role or title, should fill this out 1/2 survey.alchemer.com/s3/8366111/n...

Really looking forward to leading this discussion tomorrow with nonprofit leaders on how to survive, and thrive, in the current chaos of our times, with @theamiba.bsky.social .

The northen lights tonight. Santa Fe, NM

Now is the time to give what you can to nonprofit orgs. Read on for how to do it easily.

Happy Halloween! 👻🎃👀

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House. Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity. They are not the same.

May I have the energy of the first and second pitch home runs of game five of the Jays in the World Series. 😂🥳🔥🙌🏻

My heart will forever live in these New Mexico mountains.

“We know from past experience that we will see lower sales than we would have as long as the government shutdown lasts,” said Mike Roach, co-owner of Paloma Clothing, a 50-year-old women’s clothing retailer in Portland, OR. www.wsj.com/business/gov...

Republicans in Congress are dealing big blows to small businesses right now. One looming one is the dramatic increase in health insurance costs for those who buy through the ACA marketplaces. Half— half! — of people under 65 using the marketplaces are small business owners and employees.

Books targeted for bans more often than not depict characters who challenge oppressive systems and who question authority and established norms. And from October 5th to October 19th, Bookshop.org is making it a little easier to read them.

It’s fall in Santa Fe. Enjoy the view!

Food banks had scheduled 94mil(!) pounds of food deliveries through a government program that buys meat, dairy, eggs and produce from American farmers and sends them to help people in need. Trump’s USDA abruptly canceled those deliveries. projects.propublica.org/trump-food-c...

Cannot agree more with this. "...it’s time to stop simply talking about raising the foundation payout rate and start taking steps to actually do it." #philanthropy #nonprofits www.philanthropy.com/article/a-bi...

👀 Nonproft fundraising is shitty enough. Let’s not make it shittier.

I started voting for Fat Bears during the pandemic because I felt like I needed some joy in my life. Feels like we all could use a little more joy in our lives, so go vote!

This was truly my pleasure and honor to facilitate. I feel very lucky to have had the opportunity to get know these young women and support their leadership journeys.

Sometimes you get to be a on podcast without actually being on a podcast!

Not me getting all giddy when the rock stars and legends start talking about buying local to strengthen our local economies and communities.

This is such an important interview for local economic development.

NEW: No, Charlie Kirk was not practicing politics the right way. That's what Ezra Klein said. We can condemn this heinous assassination but also recognize that with his 2020 election denialism and extremist rhetoric, Kirk built his movement with falsehoods and in a wrong and divisive manner.
