Calling all North Texas Nonprofit Leaders

Unleashing Your Greatest Impact

Investing in you is an investment in your work, and we want to fuel your organization’s greatest impact through Financial Sustainability programs and peer group membership.

Why this Matters.

Isolation, Burnout, and Turnover is costing us time and money

a survey conducted by the Stanford Graduate School of Business, which found that 61% of non-profit CEOs reported feeling lonely in their roles.

Financial Sustainability is often out of reach

a report by the Bridgespan Group found that 75% of nonprofit organizations struggle to raise enough funds to cover their operating expenses, and that nonprofit leaders often have to devote a significant amount of their time and energy to fundraising and revenue generation.

The answer to these issues is investment in professional development and support, but a report by the Council on Foundations, which found that the average percentage of total expenses spent on staff development was 1.1%.

For those who are playing such a crucial role in our community, this is not ok. so a group of north texas funders have come toget and partnered with revjen, a dallas based social enterprise, to help change that.
