“[The nonprofit sector is] the 3rd biggest economic driver in America. It’s time that nonprofits were front and center. That’s where they belong.” Nonprofit leaders must wear hundreds of different hats. They begin with a passion and a vision, and perhaps only a few resources or people that will help make that vision a reality. Because nonprofits operate mostly with fundraising and volunteer work, it can be difficult for leaders to determine how they can professionally grow, as they try to manage their organization with mostly volunteers. Check out this article that provides some ideas about how organizations can inspire and support their leaders as they grow: https://lnkd.in/ghV4acHy. ?

In the United States, there are about 1.8 million nonprofit organizations and 1.5 million 501(c)(3) organizations. These organizations employ about 11.9 million people, making it the third-largest employment industry in the country. They also generate about 5.6% of the American GDP. With all of these registered nonprofit organizations, it’s difficult to say how many of these are truly successful, or which ones fail. Many nonprofits fail within their first year, but we also know that about 20% of small businesses fail within the first year, and almost 50% fail within five years. About 1/3 of nonprofits faced potential closures during the pandemic. Similar to for-profit organizations, the main reasons nonprofits fail is because they don’t keep up with technology, they aim high without adequate planning to achieve those dreams, and most importantly, they fail to recruit the right people. At Spano Pratt, we take enormous pride in helping nonprofits work toward their goals by finding the best candidates for your open positions. If you’re hiring for your next executive director, president, or other C-suite role, send us a message to see how we can help you!?
