Description

In the nonprofit sector, we can sometimes overuse words to the point where they completely lose their meaning.  Other times, words have an underlying connotation that can alienate your stakeholders.  And then there are those pesky words that no one understands, but we use them anyway to sound smart!  How does this impact our communication with funders, clients, and staff?  Does this really help us effectively share our vision and impact with those we serve?  (Probably not.)  In this lively conversation with April Carter of Momentum Nonprofit Partners and Carrie Burke of Kemmons Wilson Family Foundation, we look at words and phrases that we should all consider rethinking or eliminating.  This is a continuation of the conversation from our first season, and we have even more words and phrases that get under our skin!

I Was Told There Would Be Snacks: A Nonprofit Podcast, brought to you by Tennessee Nonprofit Network and powered by KUDZUKIAN. On our podcasts, we’ll be spilling the 501(c)tea on nonprofit issues that impact your nonprofit organization, questioning tired ways nonprofits and funders do business, and shedding light on bold new practices in our field. This is not your average nonprofit podcast! And no, we don’t provide snacks, but feel free to BYO. We were going to get some snacks donated, but the donation application was 42 questions and required too many attachments just to get a few dozen bagels and lukewarm coffee.
