Six Essentials of Rapidly Growing Nonprofits

What distinguishes nonprofits that continue growing from those that lose momentum?

In this fast-paced workshop, based on Doug Shaw’s book, Six Essentials of Rapidly Growing Nonprofits,  Mindy Sherfy (Senior VP of Partnership Development & Marketing at Douglas Shaw & Associates) unpacks key patterns in organizations that thrive.

From dynamic leadership and healthy internal culture to strong donor engagement and strategic investment in growth, Mindy challenges organizations to think beyond simply sustaining their mission.

Along the way, you’ll discover:

  • Why unclear messaging confuses donors
  • How organizational culture directly impacts fundraising performance
  • Why thriving nonprofits make intentional decisions about donor acquisition

From this 14-minute workshop, you’ll walk away with practical insights and a fresh perspective for strengthening your organization’s long-term impact! Watch the video below.
