Are You A Nonprofit Fish?

Thank God I wasn’t killed.

Sigh. I wish people were more considerate.

I’m gonna tailgate this guy and make him sorry for this.

Well that’s just par for the course.

The police should be patrolling this road more!

I ask other people to help by calling 911.

I look to see if other people are concerned.

I check out to make sure s/he is not dead and call 911.

I see it a lot and most homeless people prefer to be left alone.

I ask other people if they think s/he is alright.

I want to work at a socially responsible organization.

I like the mission of my nonprofit, people not money.

It feels like family to me.

There is no other place I want to be.

I wanted to give back to my community.

What? Perhaps we won’t serve lunch today.

Eek, let me call the volunteer list.

Hmmm. I am wondering if we are getting the right kind of volunteers.

Oh well, the office staff will have to fill in today.

Let me twitter some of my friends.

Ask for an evaluation of what went wrong.

Call the donor to explain why our program is so important.

Send out a fundraising letter.

Ask the executive director to call our other funders and look for new grants.

Send out a fundraising letter.

Focus on our mission.

Set clear goals and objectives with regular feedback from staff.

Make sure we have reasonable pay and good benefits.

Make sure we have a good working environment.

Give me a voice in decision making and an opportunity to try new things.

Eat it. Snooze you lose.

I’m on a diet.

Cut off a small piece and savor it.

Go ask for the recipe so I can make one.

Slice it into 12 pieces and take one.

Organize or participate in community events.

Take care of my family and home.

Volunteer as a mentor for kids.

Attend board meetings and public hearings.

Spend time with friends.

The show must go on. Make some handouts and wing it.

Cancel the workshop and refund the money. We’ll try another day.

I’ll just use a flip chart with markers.

I’ll just use my laptop and everyone can gather round.

Darn. I’ll just make it a group discussion.

I’ll call my friends and see if we can borrow their laptops.

We’ll just go back to using the paper forms.

What? I can’t work without a computer.

We need to make a technology plan.

Let me make some calls. I think I can get some replacements.

Lots of family and friends will remember me.

I helped people.

I will know why I lived.

I got rich beyond my wildest dreams.

I made a major contribution to mankind.
