Nothing is perfect but it is possible to use our inevitable failures to inspire innovation, and build the collaborative learning practices needed to become more competitive, effective and resilient organizations.

- Vision Statement of Failforward.org

Let's face it. We screw up. We make mistakes. We miss the target, or realize after scoring a direct hit that we were aiming at the wrong target all along.

We fail.

This is all the more true when we have lofty goals which are chock full of difficult targets to hit. And nonprofits are nothing if not organizations with lofty goals. They are looking to foster the social good by curing ugly, intractable problems that don't have easy answers or tried-and-true remedies.

Nonprofits need to fail. It's often within failure that true innovation happens.

As a grantmaker with Salesforce, learn how you can delight your applicants, radically simplify internal tasks to slash overhead, and get the absolute most out of your investment in Salesforce through Soapbox Engage.

In a 30 minute webinar from 1 - 1:30 pm ET on May 22nd, we'll discuss the success that the Nathan Cummings Foundation as had with Soapbox Engage to demonstrate how your organization can:

Back in late January, I signed a petition for a cause I believe in, sponsored by an organization I care about. I posted an article recounting how the entire branding of the experience wasn't associated with the organization or the cause but with the well-known petition site hosting the form.

That led to a simple question for those using online petitions:

Are you building your own brand or someone else's with your online petition solution?

Nearly three months after that signing, the question is all the more relevant after the seventeen follow up emails I've received.
