Why This Newsletter Exists

If you work in the nonprofit sector, your inbox is full of two things:

• Problems
• Vague inspiration

Neither helps you run a resilient, well‑funded organization.

The Nonprofit Good News‑letter is different. Every Monday, you receive a concise briefing that:

• Shows real, replicable nonprofit innovations
• Gives you practical tools and prompts you can use right away
• Reminds you that the sector is full of progress and possibility

It’s “good news you can use.”
