33. Why Your Nonprofit Isn’t Getting Funded (And What to Do Instead)


Listen Later

While you’re wondering why your funding applications keep getting rejected, another organization just secured its most significant grant yet.

In this episode, I break down the five strategic mistakes that keep nonprofit leaders stuck — while their competitors consistently win support.

We discuss why leading with need can make you appear like a charity case, how to reposition your messaging so funders view you as a strategic partner, and what it takes to shift from being overlooked to being the obvious choice.

If you're tired of being passed over while others with the same mission keep pulling ahead, this conversation will change how you approach every funder relationship from now on.

The gap between you and them isn’t passion or connections.

It’s strategy.
