Board Chair

Our board found this course to be powerful. It transformed our team’s perception and relationship to organizational risk.

Alexis

Executive Director

Through this course, my board and I have had many deep discussions on our nonprofit’s financial framework and what opportunities are available for us. It is inspiring to see so many real life examples of what has worked. Also highly recommend having everyone, donors, staff, board, friends etc. watch the Dave Pallotta TEDTalk linked in the course materials!

Brett

ED

Our non-profit’s situation was like one of many – there’s never enough funding to provide all the services we would like to support our clients. This course gave us new ideas and strategies in building alterative income streams to support our work.

Lin

I was able gain better alignment with my board. We have a united risk appetite and vision for our organization’s future.

Ariel

Great practical course materials – gives you a lot to think about. I believe I’m now a stronger board director and can provide better tangible innovation support for new initiatives.

Patrick

Nonprofits provide so many vital services to a wide variety of individuals. But funding is always tight and can be fickle. We now have the confidence to try building out a new fee for service offering to generate more sustainable income.
