  • Nonprofit Tech News – CFOs Look to Endowment – Technology not only allows faster compilation and delivery of endowment reporting, as Thomas Walker of Blackbaud observes, it frees up time, allowing the CFO to act as a better partner to other areas of the organization, “whether it’s the development office or whether it’s the sponsoring organization, such as a university or a hospital, and better help them plan and guide based on the available resources they forecast will be available.”
  • Undercover Recruiter – How to Axe Awkward Employee Encounters – Sign up to support a charity: Nothing brings people together better than a good, deserving cause. Pick an organization and encourage employees to help raise money. Holding different fundraising activities that cater for different personalities will help employees network with colleagues who share common interests.  Another option is using everydayhero, which allows individuals get behind a cause that matters to them, and enlist support from peers.
