2019 Year in Review
January is a time to look back and look ahead. Last year at this time, I called out some key issues to watch in 2019. Here’s a reminder of what I said and where we are now, one year later.
Washington Nonprofits is hiring!

TrendWatch: Transfer of Wealth Study from Innovia Foundation
To counter the narrative of scarcity in rural communities, Innovia Foundation commissioned a transfer of wealth study in June 2019. Innovia serves the 10 counties of Eastern Washington and 10 counties of North Idaho. They collaborated with Locus Impact Investing to better understand the way that wealth is held in the foundation’s 20-county service area. The study produced conservative estimates about the amount of wealth that will transfer from one generation to the next in the coming decade.

Hot off the Presses: Safety and Health in Nonprofits Toolkit
Your people matter.
So let’s make sure you have the information and tools to protect them and follow the law.
Nonprofit people are all about the work. We roll up our sleeves and do what needs to be done, from moving furniture for events to sitting in old chairs not quite at the right height. We know our people matter—where would we be without our tireless volunteers and dedicated staff! And yet paying close attention to safety and health falls by the wayside because we lack time, money, or technical knowledge to do the right thing.
2020 Nonprofit Learning
We have so many workshops and webinars planned for 2020! Will we see you at one of them? We're bringing Boards in Gear, Finance Unlocked for Nonprofits, and Let's Go Legal to cities across the state. Want to take all three courses? Join the Next Level Nonprofit program - the Walla Walla and online cohorts start at the end of January!
