It's amazing how long #nonprofits will keep outdated systems simply because they don't stop to question them.

Don't just put a #donate button on your website. Break your #funding opportunities into fundable ideas, where funders can understand the specific #impact their money will make.

A good mission statement for your #nonprofit should articulate your desired result, for who, and sometimes why. It should not include strategies.

Why should someone #fund your idea? Frame them in an outcomes-based way so funders know what they're getting. Get your free funding one-page template at forpurposelive.com/page
