There’s a misconception that to leverage machine learning you need to be a mathematical genius. In reality, most machine-learning applications use well-understood, well-tested, off-the-shelf algorithms.

Email fundraising and organizing has changed a lot since mass email tools first appeared on the scene. Just ten years ago, nonprofit newsletters were the go-to channel for collecting donations.

This article was originally published in Nonprofit Hub Magazine. Here’s the biggest truth bomb that nobody is exclusively talking about when it comes to nonprofit finances: there’s no way for us to tell you exactly how your nonprofit’s budget should be spent.

It can be hard for nonprofits to land on language that describes what they do. Because so many organizations do so much great stuff. And when you’re close to the work, it’s tough to “read the label from inside the jar” and just name it. But really, it’s not about what you do. It’s about what what you do does. Think about it this way. Not to put too fine a point on it, but a lot of (very talented, capable, totally world-changing) nonprofit pros spend much of their day taking meetings and sending

"When you convey your vision, you must show your passion for it and commitment to it," explains Bart Egnal in his book, Leading Through Language.

A few weeks back, I wrote about what it means to be at Y Combinator on a pretty practical level: how the weeks are organized around YC dinners and office hours, the importance of focus and goals, and the resources YC has to offer. But I omitted one of the biggest effect of YC: the roller coaster feeling. This is something classic for any entrepreneur.

My parents, from a young age, taught me the power and importance of inclusivity, pluralism, and accessibility. Having been blessed with the opportunity to spend decades in the nonprofit sector, and now working everyday to build technology for the sector, I’ve gained a further appreciation for the value of accessibility—especially when it comes to technology.
