The Future-Ready ED

Issue #0: What do you need to stay "future-ready"?

Fellow nonprofit EDs and CEOs,

Our sector is changing rapidly — from shifting government funding to new AI tools emerging daily.

So it’s never been more important to stay on top of what’s working.

Our plan for this newsletter is simple:
1️⃣ Sift through blogs, podcasts, and trend reports on fundraising, marketing, and tech.
2️⃣ Curate actionable, strategic insights for EDs.
3️⃣ Gather feedback from you about what’s working to guide future content.

It’s the kind of resource I could never find during my nine years as an ED — and aligns with our mission to help EDs stay future-ready.

First in this “Issue #0,” we want to hear what you most want. Thanks for being part of this project!

Warmly,
Greg Harrell-Edge
ED, the Proimpact Project
