Nonprofits are often described as the social sector. But, Mariane Asad Doyle, Ph.D., SHRM-SCP wonders if a more accurate description might be the invisible sector.

In this week's episode of Your Path to Nonprofit Leadership Podcast, she makes the case that visibility isn't vanity. It's essential to advancing a mission.

The conversation explores advocacy, collaboration and why relationship-building deserves a place alongside every organization's programmatic priorities.

Watching dump trucks move dirt at Charlotte Douglas Airport might not seem like a lesson in philanthropy.

But it sparked an important observation.

Long before the visible work begins, there are years of planning, investment, relationship-building and coordination that most people never see.

In her latest blog, Shannon Williams reflects on lessons from four philanthropic leaders across the Southeast and why meaningful community change begins long before the results become visible.

The visible results get the attention. The unseen work makes them possible.

A child's asthma keeps sending them back to the ER.

The problem isn't the treatment plan.

It's the mold spreading through the family's apartment.

Unsafe housing, wrongful benefit denials, eviction and other legal challenges can have a direct impact on a person's health.

We often think of healthcare and legal services as operating in separate worlds. But what happens when a patient's health problem is being driven by a legal problem?

In this thoughtful piece, Kirby Mitchell of South Carolina Legal Services explores the connection between health and justice and why some of the most important factors affecting health happen outside the exam room.

"𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙬𝙤𝙪𝙡𝙙 𝙬𝙚 𝙙𝙤 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙩 𝙮𝙤𝙪?"

It's one of the highest compliments a leader can receive. It's also a question organizations need to be prepared to answer.

Through the Camber Foundation's work supporting nonprofits in Eastern North Carolina, Leslie Ann Jackson has seen firsthand that succession planning shouldn't start when a leader decides to step away.

Instead, it should begin much earlier, by investing in the people who may lead in the future.

Drawing on what Camber Foundation is learning through its work in Eastern North Carolina, Leslie Ann shares why leadership transitions and leadership development go hand in hand 🤝 .
