Strategic plans are one of those things that many nonprofits know they should have, but the reality can look very different from organization to organization. I'm curious where everyone in our community stands when it comes to strategic planning. Poll Question: What best describes your organization's current experience with strategic planning? Follow-Up Question (in the comments): After you vote, share one challenge you've faced with strategic planning. Is it finding the time, getting board buy-in, setting measurable goals, implementation, or something else? I'd love to hear your experiences and help where I can. 💡

Hi everyone, I am new to the skool platform and noticed that in order to watch the classroom videos I need to be a level 2. How can I accomplish that?

My problem with grants has been that I am doing something new that doesn't neatly fit in one box. It is a combination of conservation, nonprofit development, and community outreach. I used the demo for instumentl and it only gave me the same 4 grants that I had already applied to and was denied. I tried grants.gov but that hot mess is nearly impossible to decipher. Most of the opportunities onthere are for specific research purposes it seems. Where can I find real opportunities for grant funding?

❓ Welcome to the Q&A Corner! One of the most valuable things we can do as nonprofit leaders is learn from one another. This space was created for you to ask questions, share challenges, exchange ideas, and receive support from both the community and me. Need feedback on: ✨ Fundraising or grants? ✨ Board development? ✨ Marketing or storytelling? ✨ Community partnerships? ✨ Systems, strategy, or scaling your impact? Drop your questions here! There are no “perfect” organizations—just organizations willing to learn, grow, and improve together. Chances are, if you’re struggling with something, someone else is too. As we build Nonprofit Mission Million, my hope is that this becomes a collaborative space where the 92% of nonprofits under $1M can gain clarity, confidence, and practical support. 👇 Introduce yourself and share your first question below!
