A New Way of Working from Two Old Hands
Take Two
by Bix Gabriel
9M ago
Eleven years ago we started TakeTwo in part because we wanted to work in a new way: with flexible schedules, and without a centralized office. We’ve learned a few things about how best to make this, ahem, work. Here are our tips – and some questions – to help your nonprofit navigate the new era of ‘working from home.’ First things first: working from home isn’t simply taking the office home. It’s a way of working that requires a fresh approach and rules. We started TakeTwo without much experience running a business. Within months we needed to clarify and codify some of our parameters for work ..read more

Virtual Fundraising Events: Right for Your Nonprofit?

The world moves so quickly these days. It’s a problem. Things go from “hot” to “not” in a matter of days. I’m getting the vibe that virtual events might be headed in the same direction. But, for the time being, it’s not a good idea to give up on the virtual event.

Virtual events present an opportunity to do this in a more inclusive, egalitarian way! They can be put together with relatively little money. They don’t need to have entry fees. They can be accessible outs ..read more

by Bix Gabriel

“We’d love to hire Black consultants, but none of the people who applied identify as such.” “We need to diversify, but we’ve had no luck finding consultants of color.” This is something we at at TakeTwo Services constantly hear from both nonprofits and foundations. So, we’ve put together a simple Google sheet directory of Nonprofit Consultants of Color. (This was inspired by writersofcolor.org/ – hat-tip & thank you!) If you identify as a Nonprofit Consultant of Color, and would like to be listed on the directory, please add your info here: https://forms.gle/NFNQRjeQNUAd4jVB8. (It takes ba ..read more

5 Questions Nonprofits Need to Ask to Make the Shift to Hybrid

Are You Ready To Go Hybrid? – by Mona Abu Rayyan The paradigm shift to a hybrid working world has officially happened. And, it is not going to un-happen. The coronavirus that crashed through the fabric of our social and economic lives has crashed right through our organizations. Indeed, for all that Covid-19 has wrought, it has also ushered out the old ways of working. On the one hand, the (mostly) sedentary 9 to 5 meant that most of us left our homes at 7am only to return at 7pm, exhausted, depleted, depressed, grumpy, hungry, unfulfilled, and unhealthy. Our pre-pandemic way of working was be ..read more
