The Powerful Myth That Could Be Stalling Your Nonprofit Growth
from Nonprofit Mastermind Podcast
There is a common and pervasive myth about what fuels the sustainable, non-overwhelming expansion of impact and budget. So many of our decisions and priorities and actions as we grow are driven by this myth: That the key to growing to $1M+ is simply more and better fundraising. In this episode, I work to dispel this pernicious myth by showing that once you hit the mid-six figures, growing your organization in a way that doesn’t lead to implosion and burnout is not just about raising more money. In this episode, you will learn: The three elements of a healthy and sustainable nonprofit, What it looks like to be intentional about those 3 critical elements, and How these elements work together to drive and sustain growth without overwhelm.
