The Loss Aversion in the Nonprofit Sector is Real

The other day on X, Maxwell Finn tweeted this:

Man, I see this so often in the nonprofit sector…

 

It’s a rational decision to:

🎯 End a gala that exhausts your team every year and doesn’t make money
🎯 Teach your fundraisers to align their hours with dollars
🎯 Build relationships with decision-makers vs. blind-submit endless applications
🎯 Raise to your organization's true financial need vs. only what’s been committed

The loss aversion in the nonprofit sector is real. It’s time to push against it.

 

What if, by doing something different...something rational...something practical….

You gained WAY more than you ever thought possible? What if?

 

I see this every day. I see orgs pick up the hundreds of thousands of dollars that have been sitting on the table all along.
