Here’s a guest post about a great way for nonprofit professionals to find a mentor or be a mentor. Kudos to a mentor and ally of mine, John Haydon, for sending it along!
Why you need a trustworthy nonprofit ally
But allies (mentors, peers, friends) are often essential for success. Here are a few examples:
- A veteran grant writer offers guidance to a novice grant writer that helps him or her achieve greater results.
- A promising nonprofit start-up founder can connect with an experienced leader who points out blind spots and encourages a drive toward success.
- A newly-hired Development Director is struggling to meet their capital campaign goals. She exceeds that goal with tips from a veteran fundraiser.
