The day after a historic midterm election, what do nonprofit leaders do? They plan for the future.

Anne and Carolyn spent today in Illinois facilitating a strategic planning retreat with 30 staff and member agency leaders from the Illinois Association of Community Action Agencies network.

These nonprofit leaders started the day reviewing data on the state of their operating environment. From there, they set goals to build capacity, seize new opportunities, and make their organizations healthier and more effective.

It was our privilege to support their work. The communities these agencies serve are lucky to have them.

Are you feeling exhausted and stressed about funding this year?

New 2026 findings from the Center for Effective Philanthropy reveal the nonprofit sector is under heavy pressure:

- 46% of nonprofit CEOs are highly concerned about their own burnout (a massive jump from 29% last year).
- 60% reported foundation funding is much harder to secure right now than in previous years.
- 66% have concerns about their organization's overall financial stability.

The silver lining? You aren't navigating this alone. Nonprofits are surviving by leaning into strategic adaptations such as diversifying revenue sources, expanding donor bases, and pursuing opportunities through funding collaboration.

As we all navigate these hurdles together, New Chapter Coaching is working with organizations of all sizes to tackle their fundraising challenges head-on. Let us know if we can support you with a complimentary fundraising optimization consultation.

Here is what is on the ballot:
𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝗲𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗲: 35 out of the 100 seats are up for election.
𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗛𝗼𝘂𝘀𝗲: All 435 seats are on the ballot.

Did you know? The majority of nonprofits operate on less than $50,000 a year. Yet, despite their essential community work, Candid reports that these organizations receive only 0.4% of foundation funding.

The funding gap is staggering. Between 2019 and 2023:
Only 22% of very small nonprofits received grants (with most totaling less than $10,000).

Meanwhile, 72% of larger nonprofits secured grants, with some receiving single awards exceeding $1 million.

The funding gap is very real, and small nonprofits feel it every single day.

To help bridge this divide, Candid offers insights on how smaller agencies can successfully secure funding:
- Get visible in your community
- Leverage existing networks
- Put your board to work with specific asks
- Build a customized funding path

It's Hump Day! Happy Wednesday, friends! 🐫

We've been doing a little rearranging around the office this week, and Carolyn's standing desk is really being put to use! It's good to get up and get the blood flowing sometimes.

(Of course, Cookie is providing excellent moral support by napping on the floor!)

What's the ideal office setup: a standing desk, a comfy chair, or maybe a couch instead? Let us know in the comments!
