After the Election-Moving Forward Together
After a divisive campaign season that has left uncertainty for far too many, the ideals, the collective strength, and the
unwavering
commitment
of the nonprofit sector have never been more important.
We at MNN are more dedicated than ever to supporting the Massachusetts nonprofit sector and working to see our nation's policies align with our overarching values and beliefs. You take on great challenges every day, including protecting the marginalized, ensuring children have access to opportunities, and working hard to protect the earth for the next generation. So much of what you do is what helps to build a more perfect Commonwealth. We encourage our members and the entire nonprofit sector to remain vigilant, passionate, and engaged. MNN will continue to stand with you as we move forward together.

You're facing a tough decision, and you're stuck. You'd love some perspective, but you don't know how to get it. If only you could see your situation in a new way.
Here's how we often gain perspective on tough decisions. First we take a step back, and try to see the big picture. Often choices are hard because they bring together two competing and compelling interests, in a dynamic tension, pulling you in different directions. Seeing this tension as creative helps us map the landscape of a challenge, and place our specific choice in its general context. In seeing that context, we often experience insight, and then our decision is made.
