5 Reasons to Be Sustainable—Besides the Money
When you are sustainable:
1. You decide if you want to do business with a demanding donor or customer.
2. Mission come first. Money for money sake is a detour you forgo.
3. Its like flying first class. Along the way you get more water, food, space, and service. Just like everyone else on the plane, you arrive, but you feel much better during and after the journey.
4. You’re more attractive. More people will want to join your cause.
5. You can access more tools. The bigger your toolbox, the better the odds that you have the tool for the job.
Everyone wants their nonprofit to be sustainable. It is possible.
