Why We Do What We Do
Our world is rich with resources and yet, so many people are suffering.
Imagine a day when everyday tragedies are resolved. When ALL people have clean water, food and safe homes to live and play.
A world where safety nets catch us when we are struggling. A world that nurtures the human spirit and encourages us to realize our full potential.
It is largely the nonprofit sector shouldering the burden to resolve societies most pressing concerns. Nonprofits are where Americans turn to solve problems and they are in an every day battle to advance solutions on the issues we care about most.
Studies have found the persistent lack of investment in overhead (staff training, technology, performance evaluation, systems) has stripped away ability to achieve societal impact. All this lack of capacity contributes to turnover of staff, poor donor retention, persistent misconceptions about fundraising and tragically, the limited ability to gather resources and resolve the problems of the world.
At Fordable Fundraising we are building nonprofit capacity and empowering nonprofit leaders to achieve greater mission impact. We are helping leaders weave together their dreams for a brighter future for people and our planet.
