Who needs the stress of constantly trying to figure out how to raise more money?
And why struggle to get your board members to fundraise?
About a third of all nonprofits continue to increase the amount of dollars coming into their organizations year after year, even in hard economic times. What are they doing that you're not?
How can YOU create a predictable and
robust stream of money coming in to your organization?
If your organization is not raising the funds that you should be raising, the answer may be as simple as eliminating your organization’s “Tension Triangle.”
You see, even though your Board, your Executive Director and your Development Director are all working toward fulfilling the mission of your organization, chances are not everyone is on the same page!
If your board knew what you know about fundraising, could you raise more money? If so, what's it going to take for you to have a well trained board that is truly effective at fundraising?
How much money do you leave on the table because your board isn't properly trained?
How much of a larger impact would you be making if your board, your executive director, and your development director all spoke the same language and truly understood each others' roles and responsibilities?
What would it feel like to walk into work tomorrow and have your board, your
executive director, and your development director all working together in unison?
Would that take away some of your daily stress? Would your clients be better served?
It's almost an impossible task to get everyone's perspective and expectations lined up without any outside help. It becomes too political doesn't it? The development director can't really tell the board what to do, and the board doesn't really know what it takes to fundraise or run the nonprofit on a daily basis. The executive director is sometimes caught in the middle and has her own perspective on what needs to be done.
So how can you get your board, your E.D., and
your D.D. all on the same page?
It's now easier and more convenient than ever before.
BEFORE, you needed to hire an outside facilitator or consultant to come in and work with everyone. The tricky part was managing everyone's expectations and how they saw their roles and responsibilities. I've heard it referred to as "Nonprofit Therapy". It was expensive and time consuming, but quite often was the difference between having a smoothly running organization that was fully funded and one that was always stressed and lacking funds.
NOW, there's a system built from best practices battle tested over the last 32 years. It's a system specifically designed with your nonprofit in mind. It's super convenient and extremely effective...and, dare I say, even fun to implement.
It's called "Mission Achievable". Let me show you how it's put together. You'll then see why it will work wonders for your organization.
Here's how this system works:
You probably don't have the time to sit through tons of training, let alone have time to train anyone else. So we've broken down the strategies that the best nonprofits use to run a much more stress free organization that raises more money consistently and predictably year after year. And we've put these strategies into 6 main video modules. (I'll get to what's in each module in a second.)
The modules are meant to be watched over 6 months (1 module per month). But if you need to take longer, that's not a problem. Unlike a conference or fundraising workshop, this is designed to work around your schedule NOT ours. Plus you also get 12 FULL months of personal support so use the videos and tools at your own pace.
Also, what makes the Mission Achievable system so unique, is the fact that we have customized the video modules for each of the main players (The Executive Director, The Development Director, and the Board).
Have you ever watched a team that was amazingly good at their sport?
Not only do great teams win a lot, but they also look like they're having more fun, right?
Well, they didn't get to be amazingly good by accident. They trained and learned what each player's role was and how they can best work together. That's what we've done with these modules. Each player (The Executive Director, the Development Director, and the Board) gets their own "playbook" with specific strategies and tools they need to be successful. Each player learns what their role is and how it fits in with everyone else's role. Don't you think that would help maximize your organization's effectiveness?
These customized modules will give everyone a common language and help align expectations. As you know, misaligned expectations can lead to bad work environments and decreased fundraising.
Each module contains video training plus done-for-you worksheets and tools.
What are the two things you absolutely need in order to be successful?1) Knowledge (what to do), and
2) Implementation (actually doing what you know to do)That's where the tools are going to be priceless for you. They will help you to easily implement the strategies and techniques you and the rest of your team will be learning. These tools will save you so much time!
Here's what's in the modules:
In module 1, we start with the real core of your foundation - "Governance". As you know, good governance is really the building blocks that form the proper structure needed to have a sustainable organization.
