Key Findings

Lack of Sustainable Funding

Nonprofits face ongoing challenges in securing reliable funding. While individual and board donations make up the majority of revenue, competition for grants is intense, and many organizations experience long waits for modest grant amounts. To sustain operations, nonprofits must diversify their funding sources.

Legal and Compliance Issues

Navigating legal and compliance requirements remains a significant challenge for nonprofits. From filing the proper documentation to staying up to date with federal and state regulations, many organizations lack the internal resources or expertise to manage these complexities. This can lead to costly errors and even jeopardize an organization’s 501(c)(3) status.

Need for Data-Driven Strategy

Nonprofits often struggle with implementing data-driven strategies to guide decision-making and growth. While many recognize the importance of strategic planning, limited access to tools and expertise can hold them back. Developing a clear, data-informed strategy is essential for long-term success.
