What’s Your Nonprofit Budget Costing You?

What’s the cost of not creating an annual budget that reflects what you REALLY need?

🟧Salaries don’t keep up with market rate.

🟧Technology doesn't stay current.

🟧Teams are smaller than they should be.

🟧Reserve funds don’t get built.

🟧HR issues feel like a daily occurrence.

🟧Strategic Plans don’t get fulfilled.

And, perhaps the biggest cost?

🟧Your development team isn’t equipped to actually RAISE to that budget number you really need. They just keep doing what they’ve always done and try a little harder. They’ll eventually ‘get-it’, right?

Push pause.

You can’t keep trying to DO MORE, ON LESS.

And no quick-fix fundraising activity is your solution. That’s what’s hard. It doesn’t get fixed in 3-6 months. 

I don’t mean to be harsh. But, you’ve got to pause and fix a larger problem. A root problem within your approach to setting your organization’s actual need and running a funding model that truly supports that need.

It’s a 12-18 month shift to start doing the things that ATTRACT investment-level donors and fix your revenue and cash flow problem once and for all.
