What "Operating" Your Nonprofit Actually Includes
03/08/2026 | 49 mins.
When I say "operate your nonprofit organization," I'm not just talking about delivering programs.
I'm talking about operating everything inside the organization that ensures it has what it needs to continue doing the work — consistently and sustainably.
Your programs are the expression of your mission. But your operations are what protect it.
If you've been working hard but constantly feeling stretched, unstable, or reactive, this conversation will help you see what might be missing inside the structure.
How to Position Your Organization to Receive Grants
03/05/2026 | 51 mins.
Today, I want to talk about how to position your organization to receive grants, and not just apply for them.
There's a difference.
Many organizations submit grant applications before they are actually positioned to be approved.
If you've been applying and hearing no (or not hearing anything at all), this conversation will help you step back and assess whether your organization is truly positioned for funding.
Before you apply again, make sure you're built to be funded.
"We Don't Have Funding" Isn't the Real Problem
03/03/2026 | 39 mins.
I want to challenge something I hear all the time: "We don't have funding."
But here's the truth: not having funding is a symptom.
When funding isn't coming in, it usually means something critical wasn't put together for the funder to see, receive, or understand before they were asked to give.
If you've been saying, "We just need money," this conversation will help you pause and ask a better question: What haven't we positioned correctly?
Because when you fix the foundation, the funding follows.
How Funders Calculate Risk Before Funding Your Nonprofit
02/28/2026 | 38 mins.
Today I want to talk about something nonprofit leaders are rarely taught: how funders calculate risk before they fund your organization.
Funding decisions are not emotional. They are calculated.
If you've ever wondered why you keep getting polite rejections or no response at all, this conversation will help you understand what's happening behind closed doors.
Funders don't avoid good missions. They avoid unmanaged risk.
And once you understand how risk is calculated, you can start positioning your nonprofit to feel safe, stable, and investable.
What "Fundable" Really Means (And Why Most Nonprofits Aren't)
02/25/2026 | 48 mins.
I hear nonprofit leaders say this all the time: "We just need to become more fundable."
But when I ask what that actually means, most people can't clearly explain it.
So today, I want to talk about what fundable really means — not from the nonprofit's perspective, but from the funder's.
If you've been doing the work but still not seeing consistent funding, this conversation will help you identify the real gap.
Fundable is not a label. It's a position you build into your organization.
And once you understand that, everything shifts.
