how to start a nonprofit organization

David Higgins and Tracy Vanderneck discuss a pervasive issue that many nonprofits find themselves in on a daily basis: Firefighting. No, not the red fire truck type. This type of firefighting comes in the form of future planning neglect, ununified internal and external storytelling, and trying to operate in a vacuum. Tracy dives into how nonprofit leaders can stop managing crises, and move to managing success. As a chronic blogger and advocate of knowledge-sharing, Tracy packs this podcast with valuable, actionable steps nonprofit leaders can use to go from a heads down mentality to a forward thinking and systems driven organization. Tracy has 25 years of experience in fundraising, nonprofit leadership, and business development. She holds a Master of Science in Management (MSM) in Non-Profit Leadership, a Graduate Certificate in Teaching & Learning, is a Certified Fundraising Executive (CFRE), and is an Association of Fundraising Professionals (AFP) Master Trainer. Needless to say, Tracy knows a thing or two about fundraising. Tracy and David highlight innovative nonprofit fundraising methods that yielded great success. From pivoting to online cooking classes, a 12k car wash event, to a 100+ million dollar donation, they breakdown how small to midsize nonprofits can better utilize their employees and donor data to make forward thinking decisions that can help remove the daily crisis management mindset.
