Do any of these situations sound familiar?
You know what a difference your organization can make, but your team struggles to accurately and consistently measure the impact. You know that the work you do is layered and complex - and worry about the additional challenges that have been popping up due to the pandemic. You care deeply about making a real difference, but wonder about the impact you’re making in relation to the effort you’re putting in.
Sheela N. Mahajan, the founder of the Nonprofit Science Institute and Host of the Nonprofit Science Podcast. The Nonprofit Science Institute is on a mission to challenge nonprofits to think differently - namely, like scientists - and they are leading the effort in bringing scientific thinking to the nonprofit field.
Sheela coined the term "nonprofit science" to describe the application of scientific knowledge, theories, and methodologies to the function and strategy of nonprofit organizations. In this episode, she gives us tips on how to leverage the power of science for better storytelling and movement building.
