Jargon in the Nonprofit World: Contributions From Readers

August 5, 2008

Readers throughout the nonprofit world are joining our quest to collect your favorite jargon words.

We asked The Chronicle’s followers on the social-networking site Twitter to point out their least-favorite jargon words.

Here is what some of them had to say:

  • Impactful
  • Sector
  • Resources
  • Portal
  • Constituent
  • Philanthropy value proposition
  • Advocacy – and I’m a director of it!

Are these the worst phrases or do you have others to contribute?
