Office Hours are for small #nonprofit teams, social workers, grant writers & consultants working with women & girls of color, gender-expansive youth & BIPOC communities.

Bring one thing—we’ll sharpen it live.
Nonprofits already use strategic tools every day to plan and track their work. They may not be ones funders typically ask for, like theories of change (ToCs) or logic models.

Here are 3 common tools I've seen my clients use: nicoleclarkconsulting.com/what-nonprof...

Evaluative thinking is the ongoing practice of asking questions, using data, and reflecting on what’s working to make informed decisions and improve impact. 💭

Which of these 12 ways has your organization already incorporated, and which could you try next?

Theories of change and logic models are funder and organizational leadership requested tools to help them understand a grantee's vision, approach, and impact.

But are they useful?

Nearly 42 million Americans rely on SNAP for food stability. 6.7 million new parents depend on WIC to care for their families.

As a physician, I am deeply alarmed about what is unfolding.🧵

“The way things are changing, we both need to be working…But my husband’s telling me he’d prefer me to just cook, clean, do everything at home. And I’m like, respectfully, I’m just not that kind of woman.”
Half of respondents to a new 19th News/@SurveyMonkey.com poll said they believe that society would benefit from a return to traditional gender roles.

Nearly 6 in 10 men agreed to want a return to traditional gender roles, compared with 4 in 10 women.
Most men want a return to traditional gender roles, but women aren't so sure
A new 19th News/SurveyMonkey poll shows how men and women of every generation, including Gen Z, are divided over questions about who takes on which roles in the family.

As Trump and other Republicans lambast D.C. for how it handles crime and other issues, the federal government doesn’t always shoulder its share of the burden of making the city safer.

Our patients trust us to protect their health and dignity. Political assaults like those from RFK Jr. and the Trump administration only heighten obstetric pain and violence and endanger lives. As physicians, we stand by the evidence: Tylenol is safe. @prh.org
Trump, citing no evidence at all, suggests Tylenol during pregnancy is linked to autism

He says the FDA will recommend pregnant women avoid using the painkiller unless “medically necessary"

If communities only hear from you when you need data, but not when it’s time to share results, you’re not engaging in true partnership. You’re extracting.

I’ve been playing with creating short infographics from real #nonprofit client questions, like this one on logic model outcomes. It breaks down short, intermediate, & long-term goals in a quick, visual way.

How could a tool like this support your program's logic model building?
