W05 Using Profit To Fund Purpose – The Importance of Diversified Funding Strategies and Creating Operational Excellence

Now more than ever, mission-driven organizations are recognizing the need to develop sustainable business models that withstand fluctuations in donative capital.

At the same time, foundations and other funders are increasingly aware of the challenges to create operational resiliency and are seeking new ways to strengthen the infrastructure of the organizations they support, realizing that access to financial, human and innovation capital are critical to achieving financial sustainability.

Entrepreneurs, investors, foundations, mission-driven organizations and intermediaries have begun to look beyond traditional approaches, and are eager to embrace new, more sustainable strategies that promote the financial sustainably, growth and scale of mission-driven organizations.

When provided with enterprise level support, mission-driven organizations are uniquely positioned to deliver high-impact social change that exponentially improves lives.
