Formerly Known as "Nonprofit"

I wish I could claim to have come up with the term "Social Impact" organization.  

I can't.  But, I may be single-handedly trying to change the way we talk about nonprofit organizations today and for years to come.  

Think about it.  If you are reading this post, then chances are high that you are connected to the social impact sector.  Some people also use the term "tax exempt" organization, which is a little less negative.  

I like the term "social impact organization" because it is a much better descriptor for what we do.  For what we are about.  We are about making an impact in our world.  We are about helping kids learn, finding a cure for Alzheimer's disease, providing homes for the homeless, food to the hungry and shelter for those experiencing a disaster.  At some point, every one of us has been or will be on the receiving end of a social impact organization.  

When we are, we don't care about whether or not they are in business to make a profit.  We don't care whether or not a person gets a tax deduction for making a gift.  We care about impact.

The impact these organizations make is tremendous.  I, for one, am grateful that they exist.  Our "nonprofits" deserve a name befitting of their duties.

    In addition to my work in the social impact field, I have a great husband of 27 years and  an incredible 20 year old daughter.  Our family lives in central Mississippi and we provide a loving, but sometimes chaotic home to two awesome dogs and a turtle.  

    I don't know any other way to describe my interest in social issues, equity, and health improvement other than "passionate."  I am imperfect but believe in forgiveness for myself and others.  I believe that if you care about a person or issue, you should never give up.  I have been described as tenacious, but it may not have been a compliment.

    Please, join in with your thoughts, questions, or cares.  We are all in this great world together, and we are better for walking the journey as friends.
