Strategic plans are one of those things that many nonprofits know they should have, but the reality can look very different from organization to organization. I'm curious where everyone in our community stands when it comes to strategic planning. Poll Question: What best describes your organization's current experience with strategic planning? Follow-Up Question (in the comments): After you vote, share one challenge you've faced with strategic planning. Is it finding the time, getting board buy-in, setting measurable goals, implementation, or something else? I'd love to hear your experiences and help where I can. 💡

Hi! My company isn't formally a nonprofit yet. I just got our bylaws passed, and then next step is to file with the IRS. However, at our last meeting many members posed the question of getting outside legal review before we submit. Does anyone in this amazing group have suggestions/referrals for an attorney specialising in nonprofit tax law for a baby startup (think low to no budget). TYIA!! P.S. We're the Traveling Art Fairies with a mission to bring science backed creative art research to craft parties, directly to the people.

I hope you have an opportunity to slow down, spend time with the people you love, and get some well deserved rest. 💙 If you happen to find a little extra time this weekend, consider investing it in you and your mission. This is a great opportunity to: ✨ Catch up on any courses you haven't completed. 📈 Level up by engaging with posts, asking questions, and supporting other members in the community. 🎯 Keep building the systems that will help your organization grow its impact. And most importantly... Take a moment to recognize how far you've already come. Leading a nonprofit isn't easy. Every grant you apply for, every donor you cultivate, every person you serve, and every challenge you overcome matters. Even if progress feels slow, you're making a difference, and we're honored to be part of your journey. Thank you for showing up, learning, sharing, and supporting one another. You're doing an incredible job, and I can't wait to see what you'll accomplish in the months ahead. Have a safe, restful, and joy filled holiday weekend! We'll see you back in the community next week. ❤️ Tell us one win you're celebrating this week, big or small. We'd love to celebrate with you! 🎉
