The Shift
From donation-dependent to revenue-ready.
Most nonprofits don’t have a funding problem. They have a business model problem.
The Shift is a guided, 5-week process that helps nonprofit leaders clarify their sustainability target, understand where they create value in their community, and develop a story they can test—without adding more to an already full plate.
What you'll walk away with:
-
- Custom Sustainability Action Plan
- Sustainability Story
- Tools to take immediate action
- A curated list of advocates, connectors, and challengers
The problem isn't effort. It's volatility.
Rising operating expenses, shrinking donor capacity, and the instability of annual fundraising cycles put essential programs at constant risk. Nonprofits are being asked to serve more people with fewer unrestricted dollars.
Most nonprofits don’t have a funding problem. They have a business model problem.
A more financially secure organization serves more people, more consistently, with more impact. That’s the shift.
