Running a Nonprofit and running a for-profit have more similarities than you may think. Everybody’s goal is to at least break even, and at best- have a surplus at the end of the year.

That’s why nonprofits can learn a lot, in terms of how to effectively raise money and generate profits, by studying the best for-profit businesses, and vice versa.

In this Nonprofit-focused episode, Jennifer Lehman, President & C EO of Mission Advancement, shares the best practices any nonprofit can take from the for-profit world and the most effective strategies for fundraising. With many business owners being on the boards of nonprofits, this is an important lesson for any leader.

We discuss:

Why your best donor is your current donor
Overcoming the fear of fundraising during difficult times
The science and art of raising money
Best practices for managing fundable programs
