What to do in this phase

5 key steps

These are the same items you can check off in your progress tracker.

Relaunch campaigns and deepen local partnerships. Build a seasonal calendar of a few major appeals or events per year and measure ROI.

Try this: Seasonal campaigns can add 20–30 new supporters each.

Train new leaders through regular sessions and build an engaged board so the load is shared.

Try this: Aim for 5–10 trained leaders distributing the work.

Build a culture of generosity, lean on online and recurring giving, and budget transparently. Set aside an operating reserve.

Try this: A monthly-giving push can lift recurring revenue 20–30%; target 2–3 months of reserve.

Mark progress publicly with impact stories and an annual celebration. Momentum compounds when wins are seen.

Try this: Tell the stories - celebrated wins fuel the next ones.

Set new goals, mentor other nonprofit leaders, and prepare for your first hire or next program.

Try this: Evaluate quarterly; consider hiring after sustaining 75–100 for 6+ months.
