“What’s keeping you from growing your nonprofit’s funding?”

That was the first question on a survey I conducted before I spoke at a workshop for nonprofit Executive Directors earlier this year. I wasn’t surprised by the answers--they were the same things I hear from leaders all over the country running big and small organizations.

Can you guess what the top answer was?

“Not enough time.”

I’ve been there. It’s a real Catch-22:

You need more help, staff, and resources to grow. But to get more help, staff, and resources, you need more donors and larger donations.
