A nonprofit's human capital is often worth their weight in gold, however, our sector can do more to develop and protect this investment.  Quidoo is honored to work closely with many nonprofit clients to build, support and retain high performing teams.  Read more about nonprofit talent development in SSIR's article under mind food.  It makes the case for the sector's talent development needs and the consequences of failing to build capacity in this critical area.
 
While we continue to review recent trends and discover new fundraising strategies for 2013, the 2012 Charitable Giving Report highlights the trends and key findings for last year. As you discover new strategies to implement and adapt, you'll also find tips to help you become more effective at managing the time you spend on social media.  

Enjoy this serving of Red Beans & Rice and thank you for sharing a helping with your friends.
