Takeaways from Cause Camp 2018
NonProfit Hub: 4.02.2018 by Hana Muslic

Yet another Cause Camp is officially in the books. A special thanks to all who made it the best one yet. If you were unable to attend, or if you want to relive some of the magic, we’ve compiled our top takeaways from Cause Camp 2018. Stay tuned for more highlights and additional information about next year’s conference!

Overhead myth
The overhead myth was once again a big topic at Cause Camp. You know, “the false conception that financial ratios are a proxy for overall nonprofit performance.”

Delighting your donors
You know when you go to a restaurant and you receive a mint when your check comes? Or your car comes with a heated steering wheel? You didn’t go to that restaurant or buy that car because of those extra things, but weren’t the added bonuses so great? They’re what Simon Scriver calls “delights.”

Millennials
Kristen Hadeed started her career at Student Maid when she was just a college student, and over the last 10 years she’s helped make it a booming business. She spoke at Cause Camp about her obsession with leadership and how the trials and tribulations she faced as a young business owner helped her understand what her employees need in the workplace.

Diversity
Yes, we went there. Cause Camp 2018 saw us having that difficult conversation about diversity in the workplace. Speakers Vu Le, Nancy Schwartz, Simone Joyaux and Kishshana Palmer spoke on a panel and answered questions about the difference between equity and equality, representation, avoiding tokenism and why we should seek to recruit and retain diverse talent.  READ MORE >>
