As a Nonprofit Leader, are you playing defense or offense with your money?

Written By Sherry Quam Taylor

Defense looks like:

🥅 Automatically answering “we don’t have the money for that” to every expense.

🥅 A list of growth initiatives you’d LOVE to do, but you just don’t have the money

🥅 A timid board, nervous about growth and unsure you could grow higher than a rate of 10% every year.

🥅 Underspending so often that it’s KEEPING you from increasing your revenue. 

Offense looks like:

⚽ Automatically answering “let’s figure out a way to do that” when opportunities come your way

⚽ Creating a honest, needs-based budget and plan in place every year (not a squeak-by budget)

⚽ Knowing the exact investment you need to make that yields your true financial need every year

⚽ Consistently spending #money on your processes, team, and infrastructure to propel steady amounts of gen-ops dollars. 

My clients who consistently play offense? They raise so much more money. Millions more.
