How to build real, sustainable charitable revenue for your nonprofit:

- Set your goals with a multi-year view

- Refine your High ROI strategy yearly

- Make time allocation course corrections quarterly

- Execute your revenue plan monthly

- Prioritize relationships over transactions daily

 

The problem with the nonprofit sector and fundraising in general is that it promotes quick wins.

 

Always looking for the next trend. The quick fix.

 

This is why 97% of nonprofits in the US have budgets under $5M annually.

 

What to do instead?

✔️Build foundational strategy/systems that promote hours-to-dollars revenue

✔️Invest in and focus on deepening relationships, not transactions  

✔️ Think in 3-5 years blocks of time, not just to the end of your fiscal year

 

Long-term view + Consistency.  

 

It pays off every time.
