This week on the Nonprofit Jenni Show, listen to the second part of Jenni’s interview with thought leader and advocate Jon Royal about how to bring up the topic of equity and race with your nonprofit’s leadership team. (Check out last week’s episode to hear Part 1!) We continue talking about how to be sensitive and respectful while still approaching the conversation with bold and inspirational courage.
Hard Conversations About Race and Equity With Your Staff and Supporters (Part 1)
Ongoing events like the spread of COVID-19 and #BlackLivesMatter have recently made inequities in our healthcare, educational, correctional, and other systems more obvious on a national level. Fortunately, we’ve seen many nonprofits revisit their Diversity / Equity / Inclusion (DEI) policies (or build completely new ones from scratch) as a result. This week on the Nonprofit Jenni Show, Jenni speaks again with thought leader and advocate Jon Royal to discuss an example of how your nonprofit can promote equity and racial justice in your community. This episode is Part 1 of 2 -- look for Part 2 next week!
How to Keep Your Staff and Board Engaged with an Inclusive Culture
A huge part of an effective Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) strategy is developing an inclusive, supportive culture among your staff and board. This week on the Nonprofit Jenni Show, nonprofit executive Brenda Jimenez joins us (for the second time!) to offer her advice for hiring and retaining awesome team members. We also talk about how to attract the right type of candidates so you don’t make a bad hire, and how to promote an inclusive culture.
Developing Nonprofit Internships That are Fair for Everyone
This week on the Nonprofit Jenni Show, the founder and director of Learning Life shares his experiences developing an internship program, including the way he manages his Summer 2020 interns remotely in the wake of COVID-19. We also talk about how to make internships fair for both parties, especially if you want to open up your internship to candidates who don’t have the luxury of being able to afford to take a full-time unpaid position.
6 Tips for Online Charity Auctions
Back when it first became clear that in-person nonprofit events wouldn’t be possible during the COVID-19 pandemic, I recorded a coaching call I had with two nonprofit leaders (Emily and Sydni) to advise them on planning their very first virtual fundraiser. With their permission, I released the call recording on May 1 in an episode called “Advice for Your First Virtual Fundraising Event”. This week on the Nonprofit Jenni Show, Sydni talks about the results of their online auction and shares some tips from my Silent and Online Auction Guide!
