Of the 2 million nonprofit organizations operating in the United States today, many run into persistent struggles—especially with donor funding—to fulfill their noble service missions.
So, how might nonprofits today—who exist to affect positive change in our world—stay nimble, creative, and responsive to uncertain and rapidly changing times?
Alison Bologna is an award-winning journalist, a TV news anchor for Rhode Island’s NBC 10 News Sunrise program, and the Founder and Executive Director of Shri Studio, a yoga studio and social enterprise that, through its 501(c)(3) nonprofit arm, Shri Service Corps, funds more than 100 free classes every month to over 8,500 students from underrepresented and at-risk communities.
In this interview, Alison shares how her successful career in journalism didn’t stop her from pursuing a passion project to uplift her local community and serve those in need. She shares how Shri Service Corps bootstrapped and innovated its way over 10 years into a dynamic, hybrid organization that certifies yoga teachers, delivers trauma-informed yoga classes, produces its own snack line, and is now stewarding a $3.7 million live-workspace build-out in conjunction with the City of Pawtucket and other partners.
She tells us that relationships, communication, flexibility, understanding, trust, and reliability are the secret sauce to running a successful nonprofit—not just funding.
