Week 09 Journal

The summary of lesson 09 talks about robust infrastructure building of organizations, which includes sturdy information technology systems, financial systems, skills training, fundraising processes, and other essential overhead which are more likely to succeed than those that do not.

My response to a specific reading, video, or activity of lesson 09 was Dan Pallota’s Ted talk which reveals the perceptions working against the non-profit sector that make it hard to compete against businesses and mentally disabled people who just want compassion or love, and that can’t be monetized by a business.

As a nonprofit volunteer, donor, board member, or employee is to help build a robust infrastructure of any organizations I am associated with, which includes sturdy information technology systems, financial systems, skills training, fundraising processes, and other essential overhead which will help improve the organizations sustainability.
