Alright so I have talked a lot about choosing metrics that matter and it is amazing how many nonprofits think this is the end point. You define what you're trying to achieve, you create yummy metrics to demonstrate your impact and you even create key activities that will ensure you hit your metric goals done, done and done right? NO this is the starting point. Now you get to track the data and see if you’re actually hitting your goals, if these metrics are even feasible to measure, if your data collection methods work…so I think one of the reasons strategic plans sit on a shelf and are underutilized is because people don’t exactly know how to track the data. I can be done in a pretty simple way, but there does need to be intentional systems and processes put into place, or you’ll get to the end of the year, when you’re trying to draft your impact report and you’ll launch a HUGE effort to retroactively go back and collect all the data you said you’d report on…which would make anyone want to crawl under a desk.

Many nonprofit founders have a hard enough time trying to manage their nonprofit's brand with blog posts, newsletters, and social media that they don’t even think about their brand. In fact, they think they’re being humble by not promoting themselves and just promoting the nonprofit, but it is essential for founders to build their personal brand because the whole reason you are marketing is to make relationships, with donors, the community, strategic partners and we don’t make relationships with businesses, we make relationships with people.

I was recently hired to write a million-dollar, 1-year grant, but after actually working through everything the project would take, it ended up being a 3-year, 3 million-dollar grant and this happens often when grant writing. We think we know the cost and scope but when we really start writing it out its actually a much longer and more expensive project and it’s really important that you get the timeline and budget right because you don't want to be underpaid and you won't want to say you can do something in a certain amount of time and have it end up taking way longer. In this episode I’m going to bring you through how to develop your timeline and budget so you know you can deliver, and you can get funding for your nonprofit.
