The Nonprofit Reframe – Détails, épisodes et analyse

This is it, folks, our very last episode. At least for now. Never say never, and all of that. But we wanted to leave you with some reflections from the 150 episodes we’ve done of this show. We’ve made some great memories and laughed and raged and we hope you’ve enjoyed what we’ve created here about the nonprofit sector and all of its ups and downs. 

In today’s episode, we’re reflecting on the past and projecting out the future. We talk about our favorite memories from the show, some never-before-discussed stories we couldn’t share until now, our wishes for the nonprofit sector going forward, and what’s next for both of us. Tune in one last time and reminisce with us. It’s been an honor and a privilege to be in your earbuds each week. Farewell, friends!

Volunteers are such an important part of nonprofit organizations, but we don’t always treat them the way we should and it leads to big time burnout. Volunteers give their time because they believe in a cause and want to support it, but so often they get taken advantage of and it needs to stop. 

In today’s episode, we’re talking about how volunteers need to set boundaries with their time and skills, how we can honor those boundaries by involving them in future planning, and why volunteer appreciation is so vital. Also, we have a bittersweet announcement: The Nonprofit Reframe podcast is coming to an end. Tune in for all the details. 

What’s in this episode:

[00:24] We catch up on the hot weather we’re having, and Nia shares some big news!!

[05:39] A bittersweet announcement about this show

[10:05] Brittny’s confession about working with volunteers

[13:24] Volunteers have to set boundaries so they don’t get taken advantage of in terms of time, skills, and compensation

[21:21] Volunteer appreciation shouldn’t be “one and done” and should involve succession planning at some point

[23:16] Many volunteers donate their time because they can’t donate funds, but still want to be impactful to their cause, and we should recognize their contributions

Religious organizations that provide human services programming can be incredibly problematic and Nia is fired up about it. Without oversight, these organizations can require religious participation in order for people to receive their services, among other issues. Talk about messed up.

In today’s episode, we’re chatting about the different types of religious organizations, why the ones providing direct resources are problematic, the damage of discriminatory religious doctrine, and funding implications.

What’s in this episode:

[04:07] Why religious organizations that provide direct human resources programming can be problematic
