Running a nonprofit takes more than passion; it requires strong board governance, smart hiring practices, and a healthy organizational culture. In this episode, we break down how to create a nonprofit that not only survives but thrives because of the people and the systems you build.
We explore why having the right board members matters and how effective leadership can transform your mission’s impact. You’ll hear insights on recruiting and engaging board members, setting clear expectations, and building a board that actively champions your cause.
Next, we dig into nonprofit HR strategies, from hiring and onboarding staff to writing job descriptions that reflect your values. We’ll discuss how to retain great people and support the departure of great people. We will talk about why tools like employee handbooks and anti-discrimination measures are essential.
Finally, we focus on compliance and organizational culture, while fostering a work environment where staff and volunteers can thrive.
If you’re looking to strengthen your nonprofit’s foundation, engage your team, and build a culture that supports sustainable growth, this episode is your playbook.
