What sets great nonprofits apart? Leaders who innovate. Leaders who offer honest feedback. Are you running a nonprofit with $1 million to $10 million in annual revenue? This is for you. Organizations everywhere want a bigger impact. They want smarter teams, tighter processes, and more resilient strategies. But knowing what’s working inside a fast-growing nonprofit can be tough without an outside perspective. I am looking for nonprofit CEOs, COOs, and senior leaders to beta test a new organizational diagnostic tool in 30 mins or less. Why join? You get: 1. Early access to a structured assessment covering strategy, talent, decision-making, and culture. 2. A personalized report highlighting strengths and opportunities for growth. 3. The chance to help shape a resource that can raise the bar for nonprofits everywhere. This is for leaders committed to continuous improvement. People willing to share real insights. Those ready to refine tools for the sector. Interested? - Comment "Beta" below. - Send a DM. - Or tag someone who needs to see this. Let’s build stronger nonprofits. It all starts with one smart diagnostic. #NonprofitLeadership #SocialImpact #CapacityBuilding #NonprofitInnovation #NonprofitGrowth #ImpactMeasurement #LeadershipDevelopment #OrganizationalEffectiveness #NonprofitManagement #MissionDriven

Nearly every nonprofit is chasing the same dollars. Competition is fierce. Donors are flooded with requests. And standing out gets harder every year. But some organizations keep breaking fundraising records. What do they do differently? They tell better stories. Each ask is anchored in a clear, memorable impact. They build real relationships. Donors feel seen, not just solicited. They target, not spray. Every outreach is personalized and thoughtful. They report back. Supporters see how their gifts create real change. Most importantly? They stay consistent, even when results take time. If fundraising feels tougher than ever, focus on these fundamentals: - Tell the hard truth about your impact. - Be present year-round, not just when you need support. - Say thank you early and often. - Make every touchpoint feel personal. Fundraising in 2025 will reward those who own their story, serve their supporters, and refuse to blend in. What’s your go-to move for standing out in a crowded field?

Most leaders get it wrong in a crisis. They focus on what to cut. Not how to lead. Nonprofits across the country are facing the toughest budgets in years. Demand keeps rising. Funding keeps shrinking. Here’s what I’ve seen: Some organizations rush to slash programs and lay off teams. They call it “efficiency.” But cutting alone does not build resilience. Here’s what stands out about those who navigate financial crises successfully: - They are radically transparent with staff, boards, and even funders. No secrets and no spin. - They sharpen their focus on mission, asking: “Which programs create the most impact right now?” - They foster creativity under constraint by inviting ideas from every level, not just the top. Across dozens of organizations, I’ve watched this approach pay off. Teams rally around the mission instead of retreating into fear. New partnerships and volunteer solutions surface, filling gaps that funding cannot. Donors and communities stick with organizations that communicate honestly. When cuts happen behind closed doors, trust fades. Innovation dries up. Scarcity sets in. The leaders who rise up in tough times do three things. 1. They communicate, even when answers are not easy. 2. They reallocate resources with purpose, not panic. 3. They see their teams not just as employees, but as innovators. If you are seeking a framework to guide your organization through more with less, send me a DM. Happy to share what I have seen work in the hardest moments.
