About
Two nonprofits start out nearly identical. Both survive the 2008 crash, both pivot through the pandemic, both make it through every shock for twenty years. So why is one thriving in 2026 while the other is winding down? We've been calling all of it resilience — but new research redefines what that word should mean for nonprofits.
In this episode, we dig into a framework for proactive resilience. It is what you build deliberately in the quiet years, not what you scramble for in a crisis. You’ll learn the four attributes that make an organization durable, the three kinds of slack you can start building now, and why surviving every crisis might be the very thing quietly wearing your team out.
