For nonprofits seeking to transform their organization and make a greater impact overall, a vital, but often overlooked step in doing so, is transforming your Board of Directors. This is no simple feat, but with a careful, strategic, and forward-thinking approach, you can successfully and sustainably transform your board.
In Orr Group's recent blog post, Managing Director Craig H. Shelley, CFRE pulls from his extensive board development experience and outlines the key steps to transforming your board for the better.

Cryptocurrency is rapidly gaining traction in the business world and poses an interesting opportunity for nonprofits to expand fundraising and donor reach. Digital currency removes the need for a middleman and allows for money to be transferred globally and immediately, bringing forth unprecedented opportunities for donors to fund the missions they care about almost instantly.
How can your organization capitalize on this new approach to donation acceptance? Learn more in Orr Group's article by Piper Hardin, Director, and CJ Orr, Vice President as they dig deeper into the implications of cryptocurrency in the nonprofit giving space.

Our Executive Learning Community Recap |
|
Earlier this month, we facilitated a Learning Community alongside co-hosts Cheryl Dorsey, President of Echoing Green, Andrea Jung, President and CEO of Grameen America, and Olivia Leland, Founder and CEO of Co-Impact. We gathered a select group of nonprofit executives for a dynamic conversation about the challenges - and opportunities - that come with leading organizations, particularly throughout this past year.
Together, we discussed the recent trend in outsized philanthropic investment, the influence it can have on an organization's impact and sustainability, and how we as leaders stay true to our missions through it all.
