Episode 3 is a high energy discussion about Marketing & Fundraising.  

We ask where nonprofits should be in their fundraising efforts at this point in the year taking Covid into account, and if you’re behind what can you do about it, and if making your cancelled event virtual is part of the plan, we wonder out loud whether you should be holding it at all. We also tackle the challenge of storytelling on social media.

Episode 4 covers Board & Strategy.  

We ask what strategic planning looks like and whether it’s completely overwhelmed by contingency planning and business continuity and we spend a fair bit of time talking through what it means to be a nonprofit board member right now and how to think about board recruitment, onboarding, engagement and succession planning. Oh and we had a couple of challenges with the audio quality so if you hear any garbling, that’s probably us, not you. Do not adjust your set.

In episode 5 host Kev Khayat returns to the topic of Talent & Staff Development.  

We ask how furloughs are working out for nonprofits hoping to extend their cash reserves and we look at remote working at scale.  What does that mean for staff training? Can you rely on your existing policy for working at home?  We also look at the expectations Covid is placing on newly hired leaders. Recorded May 6, 2020.

In episode 6 host Kev Khayat and the expert panel looks closely at Programs & Services.  

We ask how programs are coping at the moment and what plans are emerging for either extended responses to Covid or renewed responses later in the year.  We have a go at redefining success and failure and we look at what nonprofits should do to stay relevant.  And we take a question on the arts & culture space that leads to talk about mergers and consolidation not just for museums but across the sector.  Recorded May 13, 2020.

We pick up from last episode’s Marketing & Fundraising conversation with regard to Board members being active in fundraising - how much should they be doing and what should an Exec Director do if the Board refuses to fundraise, especially during Covid?  

We get an update on contingency plans and we tackle the thorny subject coming on our radars now about potential merger and closure of programs and organizations.

We look at Talent & Development through the lens of the current protests in dozens of cities across the US and elsewhere in the wake of the brutal murder by police of George Floyd and far too many others.  

We ask how best to support black colleagues, how to respond to the murders and their aftermath both as organizations and as individuals and we consider the implications of Covid’s racial disparities on plans to return to work.  

This is an hour of yet more talk but I hope it inspires you to take action, to adopt or strengthen an anti-racist perspective.
