Karen's Nonprofit Plans
How They Move the Needle for Nonprofits
In the nonprofit world, many plans fall short of expectations due to their 'one-size-fits-all' approach.
Standout nonprofits inhabit the prosperous lands of the unsolicited and windfall gift territory.
Standing out is the territory is where your chances of receiving unexpected communication—an announcement that your nonprofit was selected to receive an unsolicited major gift or even a windfall—skyrocket.
Previously, nonprofit leaders believed in error that attracting unsolicited support depended on luck.
Yet, an intriguing pattern has emerged from studying the funds bestowed by Mackenzie Scott and others who give unsolicited major gifts and windfalls.
The evidence is clear.
Based on Karen’s growing database and analysis of these gifts recipients, including over a dozen clients who received them, it’s evident that these gifts are not solely a matter of luck.
They arise from five key activities, one of which is a dynamic strategy, like the ones Karen creates. These strategies show you–and nonprofit investor–how you’ll win even though no market solution exists for your mission work, and you’ll face intense competition for resources.
I’m over the moon. The Strategic Plan immediately opened doors and started conversations. The Plan’s robust and detailed. It prepared us for our NEH self-assessment and strengthened my board relationship and our pathway forward.
