The Lack of Money Is Only a Symptom: The Real Problem Is Capacity

Many leaders believe their biggest problem is a lack of money.

But after nearly 40 years in the nonprofit space, I've learned that the lack of money is often just a symptom.

The real problem is usually a lack of capacity.

Now, when I say capacity, I'm not simply talking about money.

I'm talking about the organization's ability to operate, manage, lead, communicate, fundraise, report, govern, and sustain its work over time.
