The REVENUE RESET Toolkit
A Strategic Framework for Nonprofits Navigating the Post-Federal Funding Era
Funders are sorting organizations into two piles: those who are panicking, and those who have a real plan for the new reality.
Be in the second pile.
Stop Sending Emergency Appeals. Start Building Independence.
One nonprofit raised $1.5 million in 24 hours after federal funding was cut. Their secret? They didn't ask for rescue. They invited partnership.
