As a Nonprofit Leader, are you asking big enough questions?

Can I be blunt here? I don’t work with Nonprofit leaders or their boards who are handcuffed by asking $2,000 questions or even $20,000 questions.

 

I work with those asking the $100,000 questions and $1,000,000 questions. 

 

Why?

Image of a quote from Sherry Quam Taylor, "Nonprofit Leader: You really want to grow big . . . but are you asking big enough questions?"

 

Well, if your Strategic Plan calls for fund diversification by growing your charitable revenue from $2M to $7M over the next five years to solve some of the most pressing issues on the planet, then we need everyone to get comfortable investing in initiatives that get you further, faster.

 

All of this comes down to a leader’s comfort level with taking risks and then attracting donors who ‘GET THIS’!

 

As a  business owner, I invest and I take risks. I ask bigger questions. I also know I’m going to do the hard work. I’m going to be the A+ student. Every time I do it, my business grows.

 

This is the same thing with my clients. They raise more money when they ask bigger questions. When they invest in themselves to learn how to answer those questions.

 

So, I ask you today? Are you willing to risk investing resources to reimagine a different future of revenue for your organization? No longer just talking about financial sustainability, but creating it for real?

 

If you’ve used the phrase ‘we really want to grow’ . . . followed by ‘but we can’t do that because it’s not in the budget? Well, that doesn’t add up.

 

Today is the day you shift.

 

I'm serious. This can change. It starts with you. Apply here to get help with this.
