As a Nonprofit Leader, are you playing defense or offense with your money?

Defense looks like:

🥅 Automatically answering “we don’t have the money for that” to every expense.

🥅 A list of growth initiatives you’d LOVE to do, but you just don’t have the money

🥅 A timid board, nervous about growth and unsure you could grow higher than a rate of 10% every year.

🥅 Underspending so often that it’s KEEPING you from increasing your revenue. 

Offense looks like:

⚽ Automatically answering “let’s figure out a way to do that” when opportunities come your way

⚽ Creating a honest, needs-based budget and plan in place every year (not a squeak-by budget)

⚽ Knowing the exact investment you need to make that yields your true financial need every year

⚽ Consistently spending #money on your processes, team, and infrastructure to propel steady amounts of gen-ops dollars. 

My clients who consistently play offense? They raise so much more money. Millions more.

Sherry Quam Taylor works with growth-minded Nonprofit CEOs who are scaling their organizations but still need larger amounts of general operating support to truly grow. She breaks their teams free from the limitations of transactional fundraising and helps them reimagine their entire approach to revenue generation.

The high-performing leaders Sherry works with want to find and secure more unrestricted revenue from investment-level donors. They simply need more funding to do what’s in their Strategic Plan. To achieve this, she transforms their teams and boards into high-ROI revenue generators - revealing how they can align every hour they spend fundraising with new principles that double and triple donation sizes.

As a result of learning her methodology, Sherry’s clients regularly add 7-figures of gen-ops revenue to their bottom line by learning how to attract investment-level donors that WANT to fund their work. But the biggest transformation they experience is knowing the exact strategy, path, and team that will propel them to generate the 2-10X dollars their strategic plans require.

Sherry attributes the success of her business to her passion for modeling radical confidence to the future CEOs in her house - her two teenage daughters.
