This week on the Nonprofit Science Podcast…

⦿ [2:40] How can thinking about competition help nonprofits and how can thinking about competition hurt?
⦿ [7:35] How can nonprofit leaders contend with this idea that it’s okay to be competitive?
⦿ [13:00] I know you’ve done a lot of research on organizational identity and sense giving, can you dive into that? Maybe start with what is sense giving?
⦿ [21:02] Are some signals considered stronger than others?
⦿ [22:05] Does being strategic in this way [with sense giving] impact resource allocation? Are these organizations that are more sophisticated in this way, do we see that they are able to generate more resources for their cause?
⦿ [28:11] Have you found cases of these, what I’m going to call, misinterpreted signals?
⦿ [34:11] From your research, can you draw down some tangible tips that will help nonprofit leaders contend with shaping their organizational identity and figuring out which signals to send?

⦿ [43:14] How can nonprofits ensure that their earned income is aligned with their mission? Can you talk more specifically about how we can communicate about earned income in a way that connects with the mission and isn’t confusing?
⦿ [49:09] What’s next for you? What questions are you excited about investigating
