Nonprofits are often stuck in the status quo of fundraising, inching along towards their revenue goals and slashing programs and budgets along the way. 

What if we changed the question to: “What if we had no choice but to double our revenue over the next three years with half the resources, half the human effort, half the budget? How would we do it? Go.”

This is the question that my guest aims to answer. Matt Scott is CEO of CauseMic and the author of The High Growth Nonprofit: Proven Steps to Quickly Double Your Revenue and Drive Impact. During Matt’s seven years at Team Rubicon, he took the organization from $275,000 in annual revenue to $51 million. 

In this episode, Matt and I discuss: 

• Why reframing your organization’s growth mindset is the first step in doubling your nonprofit’s revenue in three years or less.
• How nonprofits can make a better case to donors
• The power of a one-page strategic plan
• Ways to convince your board to embrace and implement bold ideas and thinking
