About this audiobook
Are you over-worked and under-resourced? It’s possible that your nonprofit has gotten stuck in the startup phase.
This phase is not time-dependent. It is behavioral, and organizations can be stuck in startup mode into their thirtieth year of operation and beyond. The startup phase of an organization’s lifecycle is usually characterized as having a lack of formalized structures. It can be defined by the scrappy “get it done on a shoestring budget” mindset that limits investment in strategy, planning, professionalism, structure, and growth.
Whether you are launching a new nonprofit or you have been serving your mission for thirty years, Become a Nonprofit Pro will help you make the nonprofit you love more competitive for funding, more effective in its mission, and an overall greater force for the change you want to see in the world.
