Small Nonprofit Boards

I've served on multiple small nonprofit boards, both as board member and in several cases as president. 

As a result of that service I concluded that I was initially innocent about how small nonprofits actually work, and how the board relates to the nonprofit, particularly as the organization grows.

With the advent of Google's AI tools it struck me that I could put together an assistant/mentor about the creation and growth of a small nonprofit, identifying and providing best practices on:

• The stages of growth

• The necessary roles, and how they change with size

• Necessary software

• The Board's role, and how it changes with size

This NotebookLM - Nonprofit Growth - The Six Stages includes recommendations from more than 150 sources identified through "Deep Research" on best practices for the different aspects.

The items in "Studio" provide different looks at the information that may be useful
