In 30 years of working with nonprofits, I’ve found that staffing is the single most important factor when it comes to capacity growth.
Not your gala. Not your golf scramble.
Not your cool new logo or your merch.
Not your social media presence.
Not your board.
Not fundraising.
Yes. I said that.
Because it’s true.
Your staff makes the mission happen.
From the person answering the phone, to the bookkeeper, to the Development Director, to the Program Manager, to the CEO and everyone in between.
Staff makes it all work.
Without the right people in the right positions, things slow down and you hit a plateau.
