In this week’s episode of All-Volunteer, All Heart, we tackle a critical but often overlooked aspect of running a non-profit: managing your tech stack and subscriptions. Did you know the average small non-profit wastes between $1,000-3,000 annually on unused or redundant digital tools? We’ll walk through a practical audit system to help you identify what you need, what you’re paying for but not using, and where you might be missing out on free non-profit resources. Whether running a small volunteer organization or managing a growing charity, these tips will help you redirect more funds to your mission instead of unnecessary tech expenses.
Fr. Bill talked about how all of life is an epiphany – a revelation. Your very life is a gift from God, and none of us caused ourselves to come into being. When we embrace our role in God’s divine story and don’t fight against it, then we can see that everything – our lives and abilities, our world, our relationships – are a gift from Him. If it helps, put a sticky note on your bathroom mirror which says, “Life is not about you.” Then, see what happens.
We hope you enjoy these and the rest of this week’s playlist.
