Description

We don't like change. And no we're not talking about the coins in your pocket. In this episode, we dive into the peculiarities of nonprofit business cards, explore the resistance to change within the sector, and discuss the importance of embracing new communication mediums. We share laughs while examining the prevalence of fax numbers and the absence of cell phone numbers on business cards, and discuss how some nonprofits still cling to outdated technology. Let's talk (and laugh) about the things that your nonprofit wont change no matter what!
? Punchline: Ask yourself — what are we doing today that we've been doing for a long time? Start innovating there.

Every week you can join Lynne Wester and T. Clay Buck to share laughs (and cringe-worthy case studies) as we unpack the most ridiculous (and positively shocking) situations that happen within our sector. Because sometimes we just have to laugh at ourselves in order to learn.  Because here’s the thing. We believe in the power of generosity to change the world. And something tells us you do too. At the root of each of these stories is a serious ethical question, a system or structure or person that allowed it to happen, or an outdated practice just ready for disruption.  Because c’mon… fundraising is funny.
