Among the gazillion resources out there, some stand out as enablers, motivators and tools. Like a squirrel we need to store these acorns for feast or fasting!
Just a few helpful things I use and re-use.
Charizone
A trust and confidence building data service to help you explore causes and charities and inform your philanthropic decisions
Lean leadership for greater good
Lean Leadership for Greater Good is a 10 page pdf based on a free presentation I give to guide mission-led organisations to introducing lean thinking. It's a simple taster of the lean model and mindset and I am hoping to create a full toolkit in 2024.
Get The Right Shit Done (Trello template)
Use Trello to organise yourself using the Kanban technique of To, Doing, Done for task management, and the productivity 5Ds model of Do, Delegate, Ditch, Delay, Decide. I use this and have added a 6th - Diagnose. This is a free Trello board template that you can copy to your own account and use as you choose. It also contains some wellbeing power cards.
Manifesto for a Moral Revolution
Jacqueline Novogratz's galvanising book on practices to build a better world. This book has endured with me personally and professionally. "Embrace the beautiful struggle" is a lesson that accompanies me every day, especially the days when I err or fail.
(Purchasing the book gives you free access to a wonderful workshop too).
If you don't know Acumen and Jacqueline, dosover them today!
What Kind of Philanthropist Are you?
A simple, useful quiz to show what your giving preferences might be that could help you get started, or if you are underway, make better sense of what appeals to you and what doesn't.
Scaling Impact Toolkit
An open-source toolkit from Spring Impact providing mission-driven organisations and individuals with resources to navigate their journey to scale, at any point on the journey.
Charity Strategy
43 pages of crystal clear advice to guide the creation of your charity strategy, no matter how small or large, from Hey Hey Joe
