Leadership Wisdom On Trends Impacting Nonprofits
The most pressing issues and trends that shaped the nonprofit sector in 2024. With a blend of expertise and passion, Jennifer Alleva, CEO of Your Part-Time Controller, unpacks the year’s most impactful topics, including strategic planning, AI integration, cybersecurity, and the ongoing challenges in nonprofit staffing and financial management.
Jennifer opens this energizing conversation, hosted by Julia Patrick, with an inspiring reflection on strategic planning, emphasizing its importance even in uncertain times. “A plan is like charting your way to the moon; you may never get there, but it guides your direction,” she says, advocating for alignment between leadership, staff, and the mission. She reveals how YPTC embraced a collaborative process involving their entire senior management team to create a robust five-year strategic plan—a model any nonprofit can follow.
On the role of AI, Jennifer strikes a balance between innovation and humanity. She explains how YPTC established an AI Solutions and Training department led by a dedicated expert, ensuring ethical and effective use of AI tools. “Use AI to speed our work, but never forget the human side of things,” she advises, urging nonprofits to adopt this transformative technology responsibly to enhance efficiency and tackle staffing shortages.
Cybersecurity, another hot topic, takes center stage as Jennifer points to the growing risks nonprofits face in protecting sensitive donor & organizational data. “Your reputation is at major risk if you have a security breach,” she warns, advocating for multi-factor authentication, regular backups, and robust staff training to mitigate threats.
Jennifer inspires nonprofit leaders to embrace change, adopt innovative solutions, and prepare for the future while staying grounded in their mission. This is the first of a two part series. Next she takes us forward with her forecast for the big issues of 2025!
