Nonprofit Boards Urged to Adopt 'Purpose-Driven Leadership' to Enhance Fundraising and Retention

Nonprofit Boards Urged to Adopt 'Purpose-Driven Leadership' to Enhance Fundraising and Retention

BoardSource and the Association of Fundraising Professionals are advocating for nonprofit boards to embrace a 'Purpose-Driven Board Leadership' framework. This approach encourages board members to deeply reflect on the fundamental question, 'Why are we here?' not just in an existential sense, but in a practical context related to the organization's mission and impact. The current landscape shows that while boards generally excel at understanding organizational purpose and financial oversight, they often struggle with external responsibilities such as fundraising, advocacy, and community engagement. Data indicates low donor retention rates (40-45%) and high turnover among fundraising professionals (average 16-18 months in a position), with 36% citing dissatisfaction with board support as a reason for departure. The proposed framework aims to shift boards from merely being mission-driven to being purpose-driven, aligning leadership with the deeper reason for the organization's existence.

Westmoore High School Senior Valentin Garcia Aims to Page for U.S. Rep. Tom Cole After Leadership Experiences

Westmoore High School senior Valentin Garcia, a student with multiple leadership roles and academic aspirations, has set a new goal to page for U.S. Rep. Tom Cole. This ambition follows Garcia's recent experiences, including participating in Youth Leadership Oklahoma (YLOK) and serving as a junior page at the Oklahoma State Capitol for Rep. Arturo Alonso-Sandoval. During his time as a junior page, Garcia met Governor Kevin Stitt, engaged in a mock legislative session where he presented and passed a mock Name, Image and Likeness (NIL) bill, and gained valuable insights into leadership.

His involvement with YLOK also provided him with skills necessary for future leadership and opportunities to meet state leaders, culminating in his role as speaker of the house during a mock bill process at the Oklahoma State Capitol. Garcia plans to attend Georgetown Law School and pursue a career in personal in...
