There’s a #NonprofitHaiku contest on Twitter, and I can’t seem to stop writing them. I posted 7 last night. There may be more in my future. Probably. More than likely, actually.
Maybe there are some posted right now because I just couldn’t stop myself.
Here’s one:
Fund me once, fund me
Twice. Come on pretty funder

Do you get it? Or am I just old?
Here’s another one, inspired by an actual donation to the organization I work for:
Cole slaw donation

And one more:
“Nice programs you have.
But are they sustainable?”

If you work in the nonprofit sector, you will so get the haiku that are being posted. They are part of a contest, in honor of National Poetry Month, to celebrate Unicorns Unite, a book about how nonprofits and foundations can work together to build epic partnerships. I’m not sure how this contest is actually being judged, but 5 people will be chosen “based on random and arbitrary criteria” (according to my favorite nonprofit blog, Nonprofit AF) and will receive a copy of the book. Sweet!
Head on over to Twitter and read my #NonprofitHaiku and other submissions. You will not be disappointed.
Happy Hump Day, Unicorns!
