So - you’re probably wondering why you’re receiving this email. And that’s fair enough. At some point in the last 6 months we spoke over the phone about your organization and you gave me permission to send you an email about support I’ve provided to nonprofits in pursuit of maximizing their impact.

So I’m sending you one more email: the first newsletter from Dept.1 Solutions

“I don’t want another email”

Fair enough. Most people don’t. You can unsubscribe right at the bottom.

But as you did during our phone conversation - just hear me out for 30 seconds.

A quick refresher - Dept.1 Dylan

I’m Dylan Bassett - the independent process improvement consultant for community-based nonprofits. I help nonprofit executives make more time for mission-focused work while getting more value out of the technology they’re already using.

What you can expect from this newsletter

Stories, not sales

Hear stories of challenge from nonprofit leaders like you from across their organizations (development, programs, technology, staff, board, and more) - along with practical strategies that you can implement today, with the resources you already have. Twice per month.

Research

On the other two weeks of the month, I’ll deliver you a piece of timely, relevant research from our sector and give you my take on what it means for you, your team, and your constituents. This is an exclusive benefit for you as a member of the community. This analysis won’t be published anywhere else.

Community

Virtual office hours to get advice in low-stakes environments among an audience of your peers. Updates on community events happening in person. And if you send me a question, I’ll dedicate an entire newsletter post just to helping you solve your problem. Who knows? You might end up helping another leader in the process.

So my friend, I hope you’ll stick around to see if there’s something that can help your team. I’m sure there will be.

Sincerely,
