Tech Tip Tuesday: Website Migration Without the Headache 💻

Dreading a website migration? You’re not alone. Moving content to a new system can mean hundreds of hours of copying pages, fixing formatting, and repairing broken links.

In this week’s Tech Tip Tuesday, Andrew Tang, our technical lead, shares how our content migration tool takes on the heavy lifting.

It uses scripts to map and transfer your content and update old links, while AI helps clean up styling and reformat pages for your new site.

The result: less manual work for your team and more time to focus on your mission.

We're Excited to Join Maryland Nonprofits, and We're Kicking Things Off at Their Annual Conference!

At John Consulting, we believe stronger nonprofits create stronger communities. That's why we're thrilled to announce that we've officially joined Maryland Nonprofits, an organization dedicated to helping nonprofits across Maryland grow, thrive, and create lasting impact.

We're looking forward to becoming an active part of this incredible community, building relationships, sharing our expertise through educational opportunities, learning from fellow members, and supporting the missions that make a difference across our state.

And what better way to get started than the 2026 Maryland Nonprofits Annual Conference this Thursday and Friday, October 22–23, 2026 at the Maritime Conference Center.

As brand-new members, we're coming to connect, listen, learn, and get involved! We're especially looking forward to meeting fellow members and the leadership team, attending educational sessions, and gaining fresh perspectives on the challenges and opportunities shaping Maryland's nonprofit sector.

Will you be there? Let's connect!

Joseph John and Sarah Grill, M.S. would love to meet you for coffee, lunch, or even a quick hello between sessions.

Behind every membership system, every donor email campaign, and every report is a real person who cares about the mission on the other end.

This week on Impact in Action, we wanted to show you who that is.

📆 On a regular Friday at John Consulting, you’ll find:

- Andrew, working on developing a new client solution.

- Sruthi, turning iMIS data into something nonprofit leaders can act on.

- Divine, making sure the technology works behind the scenes so your team doesn’t have to think about it.

- Poornima, using her experience to help clients get the most out of their technology.

- And Sarah, shaping all of it into stories and content that connect with your members.

Different roles, same goal. Strategy, people, process, and technology all working together to modernize, elevate, and accelerate nonprofit impact.

Here’s what we've learned working alongside this team: the best results for nonprofits and associations rarely come from one tool or one tactic. They come from people who understand the whole picture, from the data in your iMIS system to the message your member reads in their inbox.

That’s the work we love. And it’s why we film these videos, so you can see the people who show up for your mission.

👏 So tell us: what does your team’s Friday look like? COMMENT below!

Operations are quietly becoming part of the member and donor experience.

Manual work, disconnected data, and slower reporting can shape how quickly a member gets a response, how soon a donor hears “thank you,” and how much time a team has for the work that matters most.

Momentive Software’s 2026 Nonprofit Trends Report found that many teams are feeling it:

📌 48% name repetitive admin work as a top tech frustration
📌 42% cite manual data entry across platforms
📌 60% rely on one full-time person for all financial management and accounting

The good news is that you don’t have to fix everything at once.

💡 This week’s tip: Choose one repeated process each month to simplify, automate, or move into your core system.

What’s the first process on your list? COMMENT below!

Three clients came to us with the same request.

They wanted members to search tagged content in iMIS faster, with more flexibility, and without rebuilding anything.

So, our technical lead, Andrew Tang built Knowledge Base Builder, and he walks through it in about 2 minutes. 🎥

Our Tuesday Tech Takeaways:
💡 Use the tagged lists you already have. No recreating content.
💡 Search the way members think. Keyword, multiple tags (match all or any), custom content properties, and dynamic sorting.
💡 Build as many resource libraries as you need. iMIS security is still respected.
💡 Results update almost instantly. It’s built on client-side tech.
💡 No ongoing subscription fee. It’s available through our RampUp program.

Watch Andrew show how it works with a real client example ⬇️

I'm honored to be featured in Authority Magazine interviewed by Cynthia Corsetti for “The One Decision That Changed Everything: On How a Single Choice Can Redefine a Leadership Journey.”

In this interview, I share a defining moment that reshaped how I lead, along with 5 Things You Need to Be a Transformational Leader -- lessons that have helped me build an incredibly talented team at John Consulting.

I've learned that leadership isn't just about building a successful business.

It's about empowering people, recognizing their contributions, sharing in their success, and creating an environment where everyone has the opportunity to make a difference.

I'm proud of the team we've built and the impact they're making for our nonprofit clients every day.

I'd be honored if you took a few minutes to read the interview and share your thoughts.

I'd especially love to hear from fellow leaders: What one decision changed the way you lead?

Great leadership isn’t always about making big moves. Sometimes, it’s about showing up consistently.

For this Friday’s Impact in Action, we’re looking at impact from a different angle: leadership and staff retention.

In our latest episode of The Nonprofit Edge: Voices of Impact, Stacy Lewis shares why consistency matters when it comes to leading and retaining great nonprofit staff.

For employees, knowing what to expect from their leaders can build trust, create stability, and strengthen their connection to the organization’s mission.

Because retaining great staff isn’t just about what you do once. It’s about what you consistently do over time.

🎙️ Hear more from Stacy on leadership, staff retention, and building stronger nonprofit teams in the latest episode of The Nonprofit Edge: Voices of Impact.

🗓️ Trending 2027 - This week: Marketing

The next phase of nonprofit marketing is less about sending more and more about becoming more relevant.

Our new Trending 2027 series looks at where nonprofits and associations are headed next.

Did you know:

📬 50% of nonprofits still never stop emailing unengaged subscribers

🎯 67% segment their email lists, but only 12% use dynamic content

🔁 Just 14% run re-engagement campaigns

Most teams already know segmentation matters. The gap is turning that knowledge into messages that reflect what each audience actually cares about.

Audiences expect useful content, clearer value, and experiences that feel like they were made for them.

💡 Try this tip: do a self-audit your top campaigns and ask whether each one connects to a real audience segment, need, or behavior. If it doesn’t, rework it or retire it.

Swipe through the carousel for the full shift: Volume ➜ Relevance ➜ Action

Most nonprofits are talking about AI, engagement, membership growth, and better reporting.

Far fewer are talking about the foundation underneath all of it: how your data is actually connected.

When membership, events, email, fundraising, and website activity all live in separate systems, leadership is often making decisions from snapshots instead of the full story.

In our latest article, Unlocking Your Nonprofit’s Data: The Power of a Modern Data Warehouse, we’re tackling a topic that doesn’t get nearly enough attention: the modern data warehouse and why it may be the missing link between the data you already have and the insights you actually need.

We cover how a data warehouse can help you see historical trends, understand the full member journey, improve reporting, and build a stronger foundation for AI.
