Every nonprofit should be profitable. Because a nonprofit is a business. It’s just a business with a philanthropic purpose. Every business has expenses.
Nonprofit leaders are the most amazing human beings on the planet and need support and encouragement.
The key to a successful nonprofit is long-term, consistent funding. And that it shouldn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out how to fund your organization.
Executive Directors should receive a salary that is competitive with for-profit salaries because they do just as much, if not more, work as their counterparts and the work they do transforms communities.
Self-funding a nonprofit takes away from the Founder/Executive Director’s quality of life. Being a leader shouldn’t mean that you struggle, sacrifice, and live a lesser quality of life because you care about your community.
