STEM education and inventor recognition nonprofit
NIHF operates a mission-driven organization spanning museum operations, education programs, and inventor competitions. The stack is enterprise-standard (Salesforce, Microsoft 365, social media channels), but the hiring and project mix reveal operational strain: seasonal workload spikes, fundraising pressure, and partnership retention challenges are competing for attention across a lean 51–200-person team with only 12 open roles. The education and operations departments are understaffed relative to the program portfolio.
