Tips to Improve Your Nonprofit Effectiveness

Avoid Mission Drift - The most effective nonprofits are ones that stay focused on their mission and don't divert energy or resources to activities that don't support their primary purpose. Learn how an adult day center has doubled its impact in the last year.

Nurture Your Network - Successful nonprofits create and nurture networks of influence. Learn how one nonprofit with no fundraising history raised over $3 million for a new facility by developing strong networks of supportive community leaders.

Focus Your Fundraising - Strong nonprofits have always known the value of a balanced donor base. Learn how an agency focused on preventing child abuse moved from being totally dependent on government contracts and foundation grants to raising over $100,000 from individuals in one morning.

Spend Time to Develop Your Board - Nonprofit executives cannot, and should not, be expected to "do it all". Learn how one senior center moved its board from fear of failure to daring to dream.

Create Social Capital for Your Organization - Smart nonprofits realize the power in partnerships. Learn how a private school increased its capacity and visibility by reaching out to potential partners.
