A Letter from Laurie
LETTERS TO LEIGH – Stephanie and Leigh – It’s time for some gratitude. Last summer, I joined Leigh’s regular Non Profit Networking Zoom calls. And through those calls, I met Stephanie. And through Stephanie I got involved with Budget Buddies.
Last July I started as a financial literacy coach. I participated in two different sessions and I found it so fulfilling. Today I got a call and on Monday I’ll be facilitating a 13 week program as a program lead. A different role that will challenge me in new ways.
I’m grateful to have found Leigh in the spring of 2019 – that is when I joined my first in person Non Profit Networking group high above the ground near the State House building. I remember meeting John Huycke at that morning event as well. I thought I was so out of place as a sector switcher. What a welcoming group indeed.
Thank you again for all the networking, introductions, and encouragement.
Introducing: From Bored 2 Board (FB2B)
From Bored 2 Board (FB2B) is an extension of the Nonprofit Executives networking group. “Too much talent today is not sharing their expertise, business intelligence, and resources with the communities that need it most. FB2B is here to help try to reduce that GAP.” Leigh in his role as an invested Nonprofit Consultant and avid networker, beyond just NPE, is consistently asked for recommendations by both individuals and Organizations. FB2B will allow him to help make introductions.
A Letter from Sarah
LETTERS TO LEIGH – Hi Leigh, I wanted to share my good news with you. I am going to be part-time Interim ED at Helping Hands Monkey Helpers in Boston. In the breakout session at the last nonprofit executive meeting, you suggested I position myself as an interim. And through CCT, I found that this group had this transition going on, so I offered my services as interim. And yesterday I was hired!
How do we make new connections when we’re all at home?
I recently signed up for an online panel discussion on the effects of the pandemic on nonprofits and their funders. For some reason I just assumed it was a Zoom or similar video chat. When I realized it was audio only, to my surprise, I was disappointed. I have come to appreciate seeing faces of […]

Eight Small Words to Boost Your Bottom Line
In the nonprofit world, when you think about the list of things that impact your organization’s financial health, what normally comes to mind are things like grants, donations, operational expenses, and employee salaries. But there is another, less obvious variable that can have a strong impact on how your brand, and ultimately, your bottom line. […]
Annual Reports – Bringing Creativity to the Year-End Ritual
For most Americans, the date June 30 represents the early days of summer and the promise of warmer weather. But for many nonprofit organizations, it marks the end of the fiscal year. Like fireworks in July or turkey in November, this milestone also comes with its own set of traditions—most of them financial in nature. […]
Transparency – A Delicate Balancing Act for Nonprofits
In today’s nonprofit landscape, charitable organizations are under tremendous pressure to maintain a high level of transparency in their operations. By sharing information, a nonprofit is perceived to be more trustworthy, more accountable to its constituents, and hopefully, more deserving of donations. Also part of the landscape, are organizations like GuideStar and the Foundation Center […]
A 360-Degree Look at Giving Circles
“It is one of the beautiful compensations of life that no man can sincerely try to help another without helping himself.” This quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson eloquently highlights the internal reward that we naturally experience as a consequence of helping others. Perhaps this internal reward is the reason that more than ever, people are […]
