| |  |
OneSource Center is proud to support African Americans in our community and we want to wish all organizations who are a part of, or serve, this demographic, a Happy Black History Month. Here at OneSource we are committed to continuing the work towards diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) for all.
OneSource Center's DEI objective is to create, nurture, and sustain an inclusive culture where differences leverage the talents of clients, staff, volunteers, and the nonprofit community by embedding multicultural awareness and advocacy in all services and opportunities that OneSource offers. We live this commitment through DEI staff training, offering DEI training to nonprofit staff and board members, and supporting BIPOC leadership through our Emerging Leader Award. Training leaders to be creative and agile has never been more important as organizations adapt to current times, and a focus on greater diversity, equity and inclusion is central to leadership in the nonprofit sector.
The Emerging Leader Award includes a personal coach for the year and a scholarship to the Nonprofit Leadership of Greater Cincinnati’s (NLIGC) highly lauded year-long nonprofit leadership development program, EXCEL.
This in-depth program trains leaders in all aspects of nonprofit management and governance, and sets attendees on a path to leadership growth and success. OneSource Center sponsors this award to support those who have been under-represented in nonprofit leadership circles and to strengthen the management skills of future changemakers. Visit the NLIGC website to learn more about their program offerings.

Overcoming the worker and volunteer shortage at nonprofits
Taken from NonProfitPRO
The nonprofit sector consists of various industries, including health, education, cultural activities and social services. In the latest Bureau of Labor Statistics nonprofit report (pre-pandemic), there were 12.5 million paid nonprofit workers, who earned more than $670 billion in wages. However, the COVID-19 pandemic hit the nonprofit sector extremely hard, with an estimated 1.6 million workers losing their jobs in the spring of 2020 alone. Today, the nonprofit community is suffering from a labor and volunteer shortage that impacts their services to the community.

How to align assets with mission - small steps nonprofits can take
Taken from Nonprofit Quarterly
Many in the nonprofit sector look at their income statements (also known as the “profit and loss” report), but unless you’re a chief financial officer or perform a similar role, you may spend far less time looking at your organization’s overall financial position. Yet, hidden in those balance sheets, more often than you may think, are cash and other investable assets. These assets help nonprofits deliver on their missions by generating income.

But should they be?
