“Nonprofit” is a tax classification, not a business strategy. This is not a new saying, but it expresses a really important mindset.
Raise the money you need to meet your goals, and don’t limit your impact for fear of coming up short. Use a gift-range calculator and donor ranking to measure campaign feasibility.
There is no limit to the number of sponsorships you can arrange for your events. Start a year in advance so businesses have time to plan your support into their budgets.
Build a rainy-day fund, a reserve to help meet emergency needs and facilitate future growth.
Be brave. Do the work. Your nonprofit is a business people depend upon.
As always, I am hoping for your every success!
