Nonprofit CEOs - It’s time to educate everyone about what we SHOULD do with the money our organizations have in the bank.

 

Quote about money: "Scarcity is being fluent in all the things you won't do with your money and not knowing what you will do with it. -Ramit Sethi

As the leader you know:

🔥 You must spend money to make more money

🔥 There are years where your program percentage might be perceived as too low

🔥 What’s best for your organization

🔥 What you really need

 

So, even if it:

➡️ FEELS scary

➡️ CAUSES your Board Members indigestion

➡️ CREATES more questions during donor conversations

 

Do it.

 

Why? Because learning how to spend and invest money in growing (traditionally, overhead) results in more money within 2-3 years for programs.

 

How do I know? I see it all the time. With this strategy, my clients regularly INVEST in their orgs to raise 2-3X more money.

 

But, first, it took investing in overhead. And at times it even felt uncomfortable.

 

This journey my clients take through this process? It’s a pretty practical path to take, but it pushes against lots of misconceptions in the nonprofit sector.
