Listen Later

In love with your mission but not getting warm fuzzies from the fundraising? You’ve got to start thinking of your NPO as a business! Wait, what? 

Robert is the founder of Power Couples by Design and co-author of the book Tandem: The Married Entrepreneurs’ Guide For Greater Work-Life Balance.

As a former Fortune 500 exec helping nonprofits grow and thrive (and keep romance alive!), Robert brings the real talk about how and why healthy nonprofits make a PROFIT (legally and ethically). 💰We also talk about: 

💥Why you should focus on being productive vs. busy

💥Time and money - managing your most precious resources

💥Growing your organization the right way

💥Who should be fundraising (hint - it’s you!)

💥Surrounding yourself with the right board

Robert Fukui helps purpose-driven leaders build thriving organizations while finding balance. Whether you lead a fledgling startup or established nonprofit, his business principles are gold! 

“The money's not the goal, but it's the essential part of building the organization. And if you're not intentional about developing relationships with your donors, with new ones and also existing ones, you're just going to struggle.” - Robert Fukui

There’s so much more BIZ strategy packed into this episode. Let Robert school ya on sustainable nonprofit success. 🎓
