So, before you mention potential risks to a donor, what’s the format for the rest of your #fundraising pitch deck? On our blog you’ll learn about: 💻 Airbnb’s first and famous pitch deck 🗣️ The average attention span 🚨 5 sections and 10 slides https://lnkd.in/d5WHtBRQ
A power move for your next fundraising pitch: Tell the donor reasons your idea might not work. Why? This transparency tactic does five things. 1️⃣ Surprises them (in a good way), and great stories need suspense. 2️⃣ Shows humility and wisdom vs. some boastful leaders also pitching. 3️⃣ Indicates that your idea is big and impactful enough to potentially fail. 4️⃣ Makes them work to find objections, letting you share possible remedies. 5️⃣ Builds trust and shifts the pitch into a two-way collaboration on solutions. Here’s the frustrating reality. ⤵ None of us have figured out how to solve poverty and injustice. Not global aid agencies. Not foundations with billions in endowment. Not the largest NGOs. (Because most SDGs are going in reverse.) So, if you’re dreaming big enough, what are the chances your early- or growth-stage organization has a fail-proof solution? Of course, donors want to see #nonprofit leaders who are passionate about their ideas and committed to their execution. 𝘽𝙪𝙩 𝙩𝙤𝙤 𝙢𝙪𝙘𝙝 𝙤𝙥𝙩𝙞𝙢𝙞𝙨𝙢 𝙘𝙖𝙣 𝙗𝙚 𝙖 𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙗𝙡𝙚𝙢. “Going into an investor meeting with only the rainbows and puppies of your business means that you are setting yourself up for failure,” says Adam Grant in the best-selling book 𝘖𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘭𝘴. He continues on the Acumen Academy blog. “Acknowledge in your pitch that your idea is imperfect. Your investors might actually be convincing themselves that the problems you outlined are not so big.” Then wrap up your audacious pitch like this: “𝘐 𝘴𝘦𝘦 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘨𝘵𝘩𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘯 𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘯𝘨𝘦𝘴 𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘐’𝘮 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘰 𝘢𝘥𝘥𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘮. 𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩𝘵𝘴?” That way the collaboration conversation begins… This move takes #fundraising courage. But so does your everyday work. So give it a try. Reveal risks. Raise the trust. Reap the rewards. 💪🏽💛 ________________________________________ Follow Kevin L. Brown to maximize your funding. Then repost ♻️ to help your network.

💡 Transparency builds trust - love this! As much as we might want to promise amazing outcomes, we have to account for all the years of trying and not really eradicating anything: - There's still poverty; water scarcity; natural disasters; war; and more - There's still injustice; violence; child labour; inequity - There are more people displaced due to war and conflict than ever With all the scrutiny and distrust not-for-profits are dealing with, boasting gigantic impact without speaking to the ever-growing challenges can only hurt the brand. Honesty, realism and lateral thinking are much more likely to get donor support.

Building nonprofit capacity can feel overwhelming! But let me break it down for you in 37 seconds - let’s go! Here’s what years of research and experience taught me: 1. Capacity building isn’t one-size-fits-all. Tailored approaches > generic solutions. Know what your nonprofit truly needs. 2. Think long-term. Capacity is your nonprofit’s health plan, not a quick fix. Invest consistently in your future. 3. Collaboration is key. Co-create solutions with your team and funders to maximize impact. 4. Pick a focus. Strengthening one capacity at a time (like strategic planning or adaptive skills) delivers real results. 5. Measure what matters. Forget satisfaction surveys. Track outcomes: higher staff retention, stronger financials, or better mission delivery. 6. Adaptability is everything. Organizations that pivot with change thrive longer. Build adaptive capacity now. 7. Strong boards, stronger orgs. Invest in board leadership - it drives every decision. 8. Communicate like a pro. External communication capacity isn’t just nice-to-have; it’s how you build lasting stakeholder trust. Nonprofit capacity isn’t just about dollars or fancy tools. It’s about creating systems, processes, and a culture that empowers your mission for the long haul. Pro Tip: Start small. One change today can lead to big wins tomorrow. Which of these do you think your nonprofit could focus on first? Let’s discuss in the comments! #NonprofitLeadership #CapacityBuilding #NonprofitGrowth #Nonprofit411

Founder @ Tripwire Media Group - Storytelling and Video - Supporting Purpose-Driven Companies | Storytelling Trainer | Keynote Speaker
Can nonprofits and corporations truly revolutionize social impact by thinking like business partners rather than donors? Nathan Froelich from Blackbaud gave me a whole new perspective! (not only that, but I'm a big fan of his beard and glasses game... I wonder why!? 😜) Looking back to a few weeks ago, I'm still thinking about what a thought-provoking session Nathan had! He brought incredible insights on how the nonprofit and corporate worlds can work together more effectively by rethinking the concept of “donation” and embracing the idea of investment and partnership. There were a lot of nodding heads in the audience. 💡 Here’s what stood out most to me: 1️⃣ Corporations as Partners, Not Donors Nathan made a compelling case that companies shouldn’t just donate to nonprofits—they should invest in their success. This means bringing business expertise to the table and helping nonprofits amplify their impact. 2️⃣ Nonprofits as Business Leaders Hearing Nathan talk about treating nonprofits as businesses was eye-opening. The idea of measuring efficiency and demonstrating real ROI for corporate partners is a game-changer for how we think about social good. 3️⃣ Data + Storytelling = Impact Nathan’s emphasis on using data to tell impactful stories resonated deeply with me. At Tripwire, we’re all about blending data and narrative to create content that moves people—and it was great to see this principle reinforced by someone at the forefront of the industry. 🎯 What I loved most? Nathan’s reminder that impactful change isn’t just about writing checks. It’s about creating meaningful partnerships and making every dollar (and story) go further. If you’re as passionate about driving social impact through creative solutions and innovative thinking as I am, let’s connect! #SocialImpact #Storytelling #Partnerships #NonprofitLeadership

Has your nonprofit experienced this upward spiral of success? In a recent conversation, a client shared a powerful insight that struck a chord with our team. They said, 'Nonprofit capacity building can be a real upward spiral of success.' 🔄 Don't trip on that mic they just dropped. Spirals of success—the concept of gaining momentum by continuously leveraging small victories to propel ourselves even higher--are like the flywheel effect, only better. 🚀 With a flywheel, there's increasing momentum and quickening speed... but a flywheel never goes anywhere. An upward spiral resonates deeply when we apply it to nonprofit capacity building. An upward spiral represents a dynamic where each achievement leads to greater opportunities, much like a positive feedback loop, and signifies movement. *Upward* movement! Nonprofit capacity building involves expanding an organization's potential to perform more effectively and fulfill its mission. Maybe that's enhancing management systems, honing strategies, or improving program offerings, all in service of driving impact. It could be better understanding its own realities or solidifying team competencies through training and growth opportunities. When we put capacity building at the heart of nonprofit work, each win feeds into another, setting off a cascade of positive outcomes. 🌱 The outcomes of a spiral of success include not only meeting the immediate needs of those they serve but also equipping themselves to tackle future challenges more efficiently. These outcomes also include resilience and sustainability, traits that are essential in today's often volatile environment. 🤝 #NonprofitLeadership #CapacityBuilding #SpiralOfSuccess #SocialImpact"

Are nonprofits playing it too safe? The common belief is that nonprofits should be risk averse. But what if I told you that this mindset might be holding you back? Let's explore the case for taking calculated risks in the nonprofit world. Innovation thrives on risk. When organizations are too cautious, they often miss out on opportunities for innovation. Taking risks can open doors to new methods, ideas, and technologies that can propel your mission forward. Risk leads to growth. By avoiding risks, nonprofits may also be avoiding growth. Calculated risks can lead to expansion, reaching new audiences, and amplifying impact. Attracting bold talent. Talented individuals are drawn to organizations that aren't afraid to push boundaries. By demonstrating a willingness to take risks, you attract innovative minds eager to drive change. Learning from failure. Failure isn't the end; it's a stepping stone. When nonprofits take risks, there are lessons to be learned from both success and failure. These experiences can lead to better strategies and more effective programs. Building resilience. Taking risks can make an organization more resilient. By facing challenges head on, nonprofits develop the ability to adapt and thrive in an everchanging landscape. Encouraging stakeholder support. Stakeholders are often more supportive of organizations that demonstrate a willingness to innovate and grow. Risk taking can lead to increased trust and investment from donors, partners, and the community. So, why is playing it safe holding you back? Because it limits your potential. It keeps you from exploring new possibilities and discovering innovative solutions to pressing challenges. The next time you're faced with a decision, ask yourself: Is this a calculated risk worth taking? Could it lead to greater impact? Remember, bold moves often lead to remarkable outcomes. What risks have you taken that paid off? Share your stories in the comments below! Let's inspire each other to embrace calculated risks for a better tomorrow. #NonprofitLeadership #NonprofitInnovation #MissionDriven #SocialImpact #CalculatedRisks #RiskAndReward #InnovationMatters #DareToLead #ThinkBold #ResilientOrganizations #AdaptToThrive #GrowthMindset #FutureFocused #ThriveThroughChange #InspireChange #LeadershipTips https://lnkd.in/eSrnyNZ6
