Thoughts, observations, and stream of consciousness* on the nonprofit sector in Idaho from INC's, Kevin Bailey.
4 – Book I’m most excited to finish in early 2025: Meditations for Mortals: Four Weeks to Embrace Your Limitations and Make Time for What Counts.

INC will be deploying a curriculum to help educate the participating students on the nonprofit sector, evaluating community needs, and best practices in grantmaking and philanthropy. Cheers to the next generation of Idaho philanthropists! 8 – (Finally) last but not least: If you missed our Nonprofit Advocacy 101 webinar last week, you can find the recording here.
