You work for a nonprofit because you want to do good in your community, to be the change you want to see, to make a little dent in a big problem. Or hey, even a big dent! Sadly, all the resources in the world are for naught if you don’t track your efforts and make sure they’re actually making that dent. That’s where nonprofit KPIs come in. A KPI, or key performance indicator, is the solution to figuring out whether your programs, fundraisers, and outreach are having the desired impact.

Employee recognition has often been deemed a "feel-good" initiative, tied closely to rewards. While we understand its importance, we tend to associate recognition with intangible outcomes like engagement and sentiment, rather than direct impacts on retention and high performance. In today’s workplace, the true ROI of recognition lies in its ability to regenerate tangible, business-driven results.

For many, homeowners association (HOA) living is nothing but strict rules and high fees. That’s a reality for some, sure, but many HOAs have far more to offer. HOAs should be dedicated to an equally important role: encouraging a sense of community and belonging among residents. Your HOA is your home, and being an active participant in how that home feels is just as important as the fees and rules.
