Nonprofit work can be stressful. I made this ASMR video for nonprofit professionals. Here it is, in case you’re not on Instagram. I hope it helps you relax. #NonprofitASMR

Funding and contracting can be THE biggest barriers to centering equity in evaluation. Fixed scopes, narrow questions, insufficient budgets, no transparency, power imbalances... the list goes on.

Virtual event Thurs 3-5pm ET to talk about👆 & more: https://t.co/LMayos3pmp
