In the spirit of collaboration and innovation, we're thrilled to spotlight one of our phenomenal partners, Algorhythm, and the incredible Sally Munemitsu who has helped our team lead the charge in improving how nonprofit organizations measure and enhance their impact. Algorhythm's work in creating measurement tools has been a game-changer for the nonprofit sector. Particularly, their Impact Capacity Assessment Tool (ICAT) has been an invaluable resource in our work here at the Nonprofit Help Center. This quantitative assessment empowers nonprofits to deeply understand and build their operational capacity in ways that reveal how they can truly improve how they do what they do. Our collaboration with Sally and her team on integrating ICAT into our Merit platform has been the innovation that we're most proud of, reflecting a shared vision of amplifying nonprofit effectiveness. And beyond the iCAT, Algorhythm also offers the Hello Insight tool, tailored specifically for youth-serving organizations. It focuses on evaluating the effectiveness of social and emotional learning (SEL) efforts, offering insights that guide program improvements and ultimately, better outcomes for youth. The dedication of Sally Munemitsu and the Algorhythm team to enhancing the capabilities of nonprofit organizations and their programs is where we find awesome alignment. Their work is paving the way for a more impactful, data-driven approach to social change. If you're not familiar with their work, be sure to check out Algorhythm's work! Together, we're not just measuring impact; we're creating it. #Partnership #Innovation #NonprofitExcellence #ImpactMeasurement #SocialChange

This week on the SaaS Expert Voices podcast, Randy Wootton 🚀, CEO of Maxio, speaks with Jeff Epstein, Operating Partner at Bessemer Venture Partners and a distinguished figure in the business and finance sectors. Jeff discusses effective budgeting strategies within the context of his experience as a CFO. He describes how initially, less experienced CFOs might start by asking department heads about their needs to achieve their goals, leading to preliminary budget proposals that may exceed feasible limits. 📈 He suggests that a more seasoned approach involves starting with the company's long-term objectives (revenue targets, profit margins for the next 5 years). By focusing on these strategic goals first, CFOs can guide budget discussions more effectively, ensuring that financial planning aligns with sustainable growth, particularly in software companies where personnel costs are predominant. 📺 Watch the full episode here: https://lnkd.in/gwFFzG8g
