News & Notes

Nonprofit governance isn’t easy, because it wasn’t designed to be. But with curiosity, and the right guidance, all Boards will be positioned to fuel their organizations towards meaningful social impact.

As we honor Black History Month at Cause Effective, our focus turns to the powerful legacy of sheroes like Phillis Wheatley, whose resilience and intellect challenge and inspire us to this day.

Cause Effective has introduced the Thrivability model to enhance our program and consulting services that we provide to nonprofit professionals and boards. The Thrivability framework is a nonprofit management practice that operates through five pillars to help organizations center diversity, equity and inclusion, and organizational collaboration as they work to raise awareness, engagement, and funding to achieve their missions.
