“The book was a game changer for me! I read it in a single afternoon (kudos to you for not trying to make it longer than it had to be), and by the time I had finished, my whole strategy had changed. (That’s not as dramatic as it sounds, since I’m the sole stakeholder in my startup nonprofit right now.)
“What I found particularly insightful (and obvious, now that I “get it”) was the concept of matching a cause to a person who cares about it. A very close second to that was the funding calculator that breaks a goal into discrete levels of giving with priorities. These are really concrete things that are immediately actionable.
“The great insight that I gained from the work overall is that the work we do as nonprofits will always be building communities. Whether we’re environmentalists, teachers, management consultants, advocates, social workers, or other, we will never be powerful without the complicated communities that comprise the stakeholders in our ventures, from those who fund us to those who facilitate our work to those who benefit from it.
“This crucial insight — impossible for me without your book — made me realize that you can’t just throw money at building communities. They must be cultivated. Instead of trying to raise a ton of startup money up front and do a bunch of stuff that I thought would work, I’m now looking at staying small for the next two years, growing the program from the ground up and leveraging the small successes along the way to bring more and more people into my community of change. Only after I’ve built a foundation based on real results will I be looking to raise large sums of money, and at that point it’ll be easy.
“So thank you very much for this book. I put it out as a must-read on facebook for anyone in the nonprofit sector.”
