      <image:title>News and Resources - New Workforce Norms &amp;amp; HR Infrastructure: What Nonprofits Need to Build Right Now - Nonprofit staff, more than most, entered their roles with a genuine commitment to the work.

      <image:caption>The gap between an organization's stated values and its actual culture is something staff feel in their daily experience — and it is one of the most significant drivers of departure in the sector.</image:caption>

      <image:title>News and Resources - Make It Count: 5 Data Best Practices for CSR Teams in 2026 - 2 — Use Participation Data to Tell a Story</image:title>
      <image:caption>Raw numbers don’t move people—narratives do. Instead of saying, "423 employees volunteered last year," frame it as: "Nearly half our workforce showed up to support the causes they care about most." Break down participation by region, department, or tenure to find internal champions Track repeat participation to show long-term engagement Pair data with a short employee spotlight or quote to make it human Pro tip: Always tie numbers to people. That’s what your internal and external stakeholders will remember.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>In a fiscal sponsorship, your project or initiative operates under our 501(c)(3) status. We take responsibility for the “behind-the-scenes” work – managing donations, issuing tax receipts, handling payroll and contracts, and ensuring audits and compliance – so you don’t have to build all that nonprofit infrastructure from scratch.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Employees are some of your best allies in building meaningful CSR initiatives. Yet too often, they’re left out of the conversation. Skipping employee feedback can result in programs that fail to resonate internally — leading to low engagement and skepticism. By involving employees in CSR planning, you tap into their passions, boost morale, and align your initiatives with causes they truly care about. Plus, an engaged workforce often becomes your strongest CSR advocate.</image:caption>

      <image:title>News and Resources - The Role of Fiscal Sponsors in Navigating Advocacy and Lobbying for Nonprofits - Lobbying, on the other hand, is more direct. It involves activities aimed at influencing legislation.</image:title>
      <image:caption>For example – a nonprofit calls on lawmakers to support a bill that makes housing more affordable. It's a hands-on approach to change, involving direct engagement with legislators and urging a specific outcome on legislation. Understanding the difference between lobbying and advocacy is important, because the legal boundaries for each are different. Nonprofits have a green light to advocate broadly, but when it comes to lobbying, the lights are more yellow. This is when it’s important to understand the rules and limits.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Transitioning to a fiscal sponsorship model offers several benefits for nonprofits, including: Access to Expertise: Fiscal sponsors provide valuable administrative, financial, and legal expertise. Reduced Administrative Burden: By sharing resources, nonprofits can focus more on mission-driven activities. Financial Efficiency: It allows for cost savings on overhead and can increase funding opportunities. Compliance and Risk Management: Sponsors help ensure legal and financial compliance, mitigating risks. Flexibility: Fiscal sponsorship can be a strategic choice for projects testing new ideas or those not ready to become independent nonprofits. Enhanced Credibility: Association with an established sponsor can boost credibility with donors and grantmakers.</image:caption>

      <image:title>News and Resources - Restructuring Your Nonprofit - While it represents an additional expense, the benefits — such as access to the sponsor's tax-exempt status, administrative support (a fully staffed accounting, HR, and operations department), and potential for increased funding opportunities — can outweigh these costs, making fiscal sponsorship a financially viable option for many nonprofit organizations looking to restructure.</image:title>
