14 Things the Best Nonprofit Organizations Do Right

Nonprofits are messy. It’s true even for the best nonprofit organizations out there. Not enough money. Too many cooks. An abundance of passion.

Often on this blog I write about what nonprofits are doing wrong and how to fix it. After all, “nonprofits are messy” is more than just my tagline—it’s my mantra. And my mission is to help nonprofits clean up the mess.

But today, I want to focus on what the best nonprofit organizations are doing right. My hope is this will inspire you and set an aspirational vision. Maybe your nonprofit does a bunch of these really well (I hope so!), but we all have something to work on.
