Each state has acknowledged the significant impact the sector has on their employment rate, the local economy and their respective abilities to meet growing social needs of their residents. Despite the good news they share in common, Indiana and Maryland face different outcomes... Read more about their outcomes in Finance Fundamentals

So what's all the fuss about culture? Why does promoting a good culture feel like something that can be pushed down on the priority list after board recruitment, fundraising, and filling that vacant position?
Though you can't see it, and it's even harder to describe, experts prove again and again how a healthy, toxic, or even ignored culture can make or break every aspect of your efforts—yes, that includes productivity and your bottom line.
Now that I have your attention, turn your focus to our upcoming live author interview with Michael Stallard... Read more, register for our live author interview & download a free book summary here by Denise McMahan

Many of us wish we had a crystal ball for strategic planning and financial forecasting. Marc Chardon, CEO of nonprofit software provider Blackbaud, came close to this wish in his article last month, "Peering into the Nonprofit Crystal Ball.” He identified
four key trends
that will have the strongest impact on the nonprofit sector this year based on his observations and conversations with leaders in the nonprofit sector. These trends were also formed by conducting research at
Blackbaud. At

Come visit and subscribe through the LANO network! -Phyllis Meyer
Post One: The Power of the Pen  Several years ago when I first got into this business, my banker (who is also a part-time pastor of a small church) shared the following story with me. I've used it ever since simply to demonstrate the power of what we do.
..."A small church was in need of a sound system. Week after week they passed the collection plate, but week after week they fell seriously short of the mark. One Sunday a stranger arrived...a young man they had never seen before. His presence aroused some curiosity in the small congregation. Despite the novelty, the service proceeded as was customary...."
Post Two: Marketing Communication-Do You Know the Rules of Engagment?  "...Nonprofits offer great value to their community. While most may not provide a product, all provide a beneficial service. It's not something about which to be shy or insecure. Just like a commercial enterprise, nonprofits have something to offer. I hesitate to say this, and many of you will be hesitate to believe it, but --like it or not--you are a saleman for your organization...."

The story behind the foundation:
The Better Than Ezra Foundation story starts with the band itself. The talented and accomplished trio of Kevin Griffin, Tom Drummond and Travis McNabb are the driving force behind this nationally renowned recording group, Better Than Ezra. Their passion for the music they provide is equally exemplified in the drive they have for giving back to the community they love and call home, New Orleans, Louisiana.
The combination of their talents and passion has led to the creation of the Better Than Ezra Foundation, whereby the group annually brings together the power of music along with the power of community.
