In too many non-profits, program staff do the work and fundraising staff raise the money.

The most successful organizations understand that philanthropy is everyone's responsibility.

Are you ready to make that shift? vitreogroup.ca/contact

We hear this from clients often. They're frustrated and exhausted. They've been through 3 development directors in 4 years. Each time, same pattern: initial optimism, growing overwhelm, eventual burnout. Sound familiar?

What we've learned: The problem usually isn't the person. It's the system.

The highest-performing boards ask different questions than everyone else.
MOST BOARDS ask: "Are we compliant? Did we hit our targets? What's our risk exposure?"
The BEST BOARDS ask: "Do we have the courage to change?"

Need help facilitating those difficult conversations? vitreogroup.ca/contact

January is when many non-profits shift their focus away from donors and back to programs. But the way you engage your donors in the first quarter will directly impact your fundraising success for the rest of the year.

Re-think "new year, new you" and do these things instead.

Co-Leadership for Bottom-Up Transformation (SSIR)
Shared leadership models can be transformative, but require building an organization-wide culture of collectivity, sharing, and generosity.

"It was hard to make this money - but even harder to give it away."

A powerful reflection from a first-generation wealth creator captures something we see often in our work: becoming a philanthropist is a journey, not just a moment.

A great read: 'Stop Calling us Nonprofit' by Jody Levison-Johnson, CEO of Social Current.

What do you think about this?
What would you re-name the sector?

Stop Calling Us “Nonprofit”: It’s Time for a New Name for the $1.4-Trillion Engine of Progress
Jody Levison-Johnson of Social Current thinks it’s time to ditch the term "nonprofit" — and the funder mindsets that go along with it.

Who does fundraising in your non-profit organization?
The most successful organizations know that philanthropy is everyone's responsibility.

When you step back into the office in January, consider that 2026 could be the year your entire organization embraces philanthropy.
