The Nonprofit Manifesto is the ultimate guide to building a sustainable, high-growth nonprofit.
Chapter 1: What Is Strategic Planning?
A strategic plan isn’t meant to be a theoretical exercise. It’s meant to be a guide for action.
Chapter 2: In Service of People
A nonprofit doesn’t operate in a vacuum. Success depends on the relationships built with everyone connected to the mission.
Chapter 3: Money Matters
You cannot separate your mission from your money. You need resources to create impact.
Chapter 4: The Board Relationship
A strong board doesn’t just nod along; it engages in thoughtful, sometimes uncomfortable conversations that push the organization forward.
Chapter 5: The Market Map
Get a clearer picture of the ecosystem you're working in, start thinking more strategically, and lead with more purpose.
Chapter 6: Diversification of Funding
Part of your role as a nonprofit leader is to ensure the long-term financial stability of the organization. At the heart of that stability is diversification.
Chapter 7: Self-Care as a Nonprofit Leader
There’s an unspoken idea that if you really care, you’ll sacrifice—your time, your energy, your personal life. While that might come from a good place, it’s not sustainable.
Conclusion: Leading into the Future
Leadership really is the heartbeat of a nonprofit. Here are my leadership lessons from 30 years of nonprofit experience.
