Nonprofit Leaders: Create Your Budget so it Reflects Your Organization’s Actual Need

What’s the cost of not creating a budget every year 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.

 

But can you do it? Yep. I see organizations make this shift every day.

 

Is 2024 your year to fix your revenue problems at the root?
