Grants Were Never Meant to Fund Your Entire Organization

Today, I want to ask you a question that may completely change the way you think about funding your nonprofit: who told you that grants were supposed to fund your entire organization? It's a belief I hear all the time. Many nonprofit leaders launch their organizations believing that once they receive a grant, their financial challenges will be solved. But after 40 years in the nonprofit sector, I can tell you that this is one of the biggest misconceptions keeping nonprofits financially fragile.
