Nonprofit Leaders: You have way more control over fully funding your organization than you might think . . .
There's a few phrases I often hear from nonprofit leaders . . .
“We finished our Strategic Plan, but now we need more unrestricted dollars to actually do what’s in the plan.”
“We finished our Annual Budget, but we always end the year in the red so I don’t know how we’d ever reach our new goal.”
The notion that nonprofits will never have enough resources to change the world, are unable to ever be fully funded, or will always struggle because they don’t have enough money?
That’s simply not true.
How do I know? I see my clients do this every day.
I see boards, leaders, and development staff successfully make fundamental shifts in their approach to fully financing their missions every year..
📈More gen-ops dollars
📈More relationships with major donors
🕓Less hours wasted on traditional/transactional activities
🕓Less project-specific applications
⭐Success looks like having the money for your programs AND overhead AND a reserve fund.
But, here’s the big secret to fixing this. It’s what everyone gets wrong.
You can’t start with just doing more fundraising things. Your lack of revenue is a symptom of a root problem that needs to be fixed. If you don’t fix it, you’ll always be on the revenue spin cycle.
Leader - you have way more control over being fully funded every year than you might think. I'm serious. This can change. It starts with you.
