In this episode we chat with two of the nation’s leading experts on nonprofits, Marc Stein and Bob Lipps. Marc and Bob are co-Founders of The Global Center for Nonprofit Excellence. The Center, as they call it, was created to bring together three diverse groups — Nonprofits, Funders, and Businesses that provide products and services to the nonprofit sector. What’s most interesting to us about The Center is that these two guys, with decades of experience in legal services, finance, operations, leadership, marketing, and development, have designed an organization with the sole purpose of optimizing the work done by nonprofits. Their goal is to help align nonprofit organizations with service providers and funders, and to provide key services that will help an organization enhance and optimize their work, across all aspects of the organization. In this episode you’ll hear more about their approach to serving nonprofits, and the distinct value that they provide.One very interesting tool they shared about on the podcast is their OpX360® product. OpX360®, which stands for Operational Excellence 360, is an assessment tool that nonprofits, boards, funders, or individual leaders can use to gain a clear understanding of how they and their organizations are performing across six key functional areas.  This is an incredibly valuable assessment tool that will be available to nonprofits worldwide starting in August. You can be one of the first organizations to take advantage of this new tool by registering on their waitlist today.As a special bonus just for our listeners, The Center is providing a generous $200 discount on OpX360® assessments. All you have to do is input the coupon code RAINMAKER when prompted.
