Nonprofits rely on raw data to learn about supporters, track the success of marketing and fundraising campaigns, and measure program progress. Using this data, your organization can determine which metrics are best for measuring your social impact and illustrating all of your work’s tangible achievements.

As a children’s ministry leader, you know that volunteers are the backbone of your program’s environment. They lead fun activities, build relationships with the kids, and ultimately take charge of the hands-on tasks needed to run your ministry. But it isn’t simply enough to recruit volunteers and thank them when their work is done; it’s your responsibility to equip them for this essential role with the training and resources they need to excel.

More than grants, donations, or volunteer hours, public trust is the currency of the nonprofit sector. The public’s belief that nonprofits will “do the right thing” is what makes it possible for us to partner with communities, advocate for our missions, and bridge political divides to build a healthy and just nation. That’s why Independent Sector has been measuring public trust in nonprofits and philanthropy for the last five years.

Tax compliance through Form 990-PF is about more than just appeasing the IRS — it significantly impacts your nonprofit’s reputation and standing among the public. Even if your private foundation is fully exempt from taxes, your organization must still report certain information to the IRS annually. This ensures that your foundation operates according to IRS guidelines and also provides transparency for your nonprofit.

30% of volunteers state that one of the main reasons they volunteer is because they have the time available to do so. Conversely, 49% of individuals state that their work commitments are their biggest obstacle to volunteering. Fortunately, some of your volunteers make time to volunteer with volunteer time off (VTO). VTO helps nonprofits earn more volunteers, meaning more hands available to run your programs, raise funds, and spread awareness of your cause.
