The Fundraising Shift that Creates Long-Term Revenue Solutions for Nonprofits

A Nonprofit Leader writing on post-it notes and working in a strategic planning meeting to make a practical fundraising shift to long-term revenue solutions.jpg

ZERO PERCENT of $10M+ sustainable nonprofits were created by events, paddles, golf, or auctions.

 

(Was that too harsh?)

 

Seriously. Just push pause.

 

The thing is, you’ve got to shift from asking: “What fundraising things do we need to do to raise more money?”...to asking, “How do I build the revenue engine that fully funds my organization each year?”

 

This feels like a HUGE shift. But, it’s super practical.

 

If it’s so practical, Sherry, why doesn’t everyone do it? Many reasons, but the biggest is that the nonprofit sector is looking for quick wins over long-term solutions.

 

Here’s how I help orgs create long-term solutions:

☑️ You start with an honest needs-based budget

☑️ Then you build a high ROI revenue compass that helps you raise your real need

☑️ Next you equip your team to lead donors through investment-level conversations

☑️ And you help them make decisions based on hours to dollars alignment

☑️ Then, your board will know exactly what to do in that one hour they give you each month outside of meetings

 

Seems overly simple? 

 

It kinda is. But it often takes an outsider to guide you through the process. That’s the fun part for me.
