VERY FEW PROGRAMS
MAKE IT TO YEAR 5
Programs rarely fail for lack of passion. They fail because the difficult questions weren't addressed early enough. Without a proven audience, aligned funders, and a team with real capacity, even the best ideas fall short.
The programs that beat the odds have three things in common:
IMPACT
Evidence that the work resonates with the community it was made for.
FUNDING
Relationships with long-term funders who care about the community and the work.
CAREER
A way of working that energizes the leader and team long term.
TURN COMMUNITY DEMAND INTO FUNDED, LASTING PROGRAMS
Rather than asking nonprofit leaders to convince funders, then find participants, then prove impact. We invert the order. When community demand is proven up front, funders see a clear path to impact, leaders have the capacity to execute, and the program lands.
