Note from Beth: I’m honored to be a member of the Leap Ambassadors Community , a group of people in the nonprofit sector who care deeply about high performance. Often, we think of “high performance” as something only for large organizations, but smaller nonprofits can apply the ideas too.

This year, I think the watch word for smaller nonprofits will be: segmentation. The larger nonprofits seem to have it down pat. It has always bothered me that nonprofits are measured in dollars and cents, and that we’re all lumped into the same pot. Do you want to feed the homeless or cure cancer? Nope, just coincidence.
