Since I started working at Aspiration, I have learned about how to blog for my nonprofit and some exciting new things have come about in the last month.

1. Thanks to NTEN www.nten.org I have been able to start a Nonprofit Affinity Group. NonprofitOperations@groups.nten.org This e-mail discussion group is an exciting outlet for me to share Nonprofit Operations tips and participate in nonprofit operations discussions. 

2. I also have also had the opportunity to get more active with the Young Nonprofit Professionals Network (YNPN) www.ynpn.org and post Nonprofit Operations resources to the members only resources section of their website. I just joined their membership committee and took on a new role as list maven.   

3. I am starting to participate in Capaciteria www.Capaciteria.org This great website developed by Aspiration’s board chair-Jonanthan Peizer. Capaciteria lists nonprofit capacity building links, resources, and question boards.

4. I revised my Nonprofit Operations Toolkit that I wrote several years ago for my clients. In the toolkit I compiled resources and tips that I use and follow in managing the day-to-day operations of my own nonprofit.  It is broken into eight key operational areas critical to running the day-to-day operations of any nonprofit organization. Including:

1. Legal
2. Human Resources
3. Accounting/Financial Management
4. Fundraising/Development
5. Board of Directors/Governance
6. Technology
7. Planning
8. Training

I also included in the revised section of the toolkit, “How to improve your Nonprofit Operations in Under Two Months,” and my “10 Nonprofit Operations Success Steps” that I follow in each organization that I work in.  The toolkit is available through my personal website www.nonprofitalternatives.org.
