Have you ever experienced burnout from nonprofit volunteer work? I share a story relating to this in my new book, Antidote when I joined the board of a nonprofit and learned why charitable organizations are often short-lived.
As I began to attend meetings and became more involved with this nonprofit, I felt like I had jumped onto a sinking ship. They urgently needed revenue, had no business plan, and were beginning to treat the title of “non-profit” more like a financial prediction rather than a tax status.
It was plain and simple: I told the Board they needed something to drive repeat revenue. Most nonprofits fail to build the necessary overhead to generate reliable annual revenue. And they rely solely on volunteers who suffer from burnout.
I spent the next two years giving my time to learn about their vision and mission. Then I created a business plan to chart the charity’s future. This led me to speak at their next conference where I met a man who changed my nonprofit focus. He proposed to license one of our exclusive publication assets. This would generate royalty revenue enabling them to carry out their mission. This story explains how to amplify your Giving Wellth™ with new tools for nonprofit success.
