On this episode of The Modern Nonprofit Fundraiser podcast, we feature Francis Tao, founder of SAWA. We were excited to talk to Francis about his passion for improving processes to make all nonprofits more efficient. He was able to identify a major pain point for nonprofits and develop a tool that helps in a specific way. We believe the principles he shares in this episode can be repeated by your team to help your nonprofit. Take a listen to hear his advice!
Here are some of our favorite insights from the episode. Try sharing these with your teammates as discussion points to make your organization more efficient.
- Branding is not something that can be compromised as you grow your nonprofit. People need to recognize they are talking to the same people at each touch point.
- You don’t have to choose between doing good and executing excellent marketing and communications. Push to make sure your nonprofit does both.
- If you’re experiencing pain, it’s not an indication that you’re doing anything wrong. You might just not have the right tools for your nonprofit.
- Improved process leads to improved capacity. When you adopt new tools for your nonprofit, make sure you evaluate the habits and processes that surround the tool to make those better.
- Only invest in tools that take tasks off your team’s plate. Don’t choose a tool unless you know how it can help your capacity. Otherwise, it’s just another thing to learn.
