Reference Checking Dos and Don’ts for Your Nonprofit’s Next Hire

Hiring a new staff member for your nonprofit is a huge responsibility and investment in time and resources and ultimately could have a major impact on your organization’s future success. Resumes, cover letters, applications, interviews and LinkedIn profiles will only get you so far in knowing a candidate. Being able to uncover what you can’t see isn’t always easy.

How Your Nonprofit Could Benefit from An Environmental Scan

As a nonprofit looks to embark on a strategic plan, engaging stakeholders (staff, board, community members, funders, and clients) early in the planning can lead to greater understanding, and ultimately involvement and ownership throughout the process.
