After a turbulent 2020, filled with extensive change, strategic planning is more important than ever - especially for non-profit and mission-based organizations. While your WHY (your reason for being) will remain steady, your HOW may have to pivot to address macro trends, both globally and locally, as well as shifting workplace dynamics.

As I searched around for a particular subject to write on, it hit me that I could not narrow it down to a single aspect of inequality that I could relate to work in the nonprofit sector.

I''m not sure how closely any of you have been following the legal battles over "net neutrality" but the FCC has issued new (draft) rules that would effectively kill it (along with the ability of most nonprofits to use the web as an inexpensive communications strategy), all while wrapping itself up in the language of net neutrality.

Are nonprofits not "playing nice in the sandbox"? The responses I got back all seemed to agree with Mr. Anderson: "There are too many nonprofits!" But not, apparently, in the nonprofit sector.
