I sit down with Amy Varga, a seasoned professional with 30 years of experience and the President of The Varga Group, who has dedicated her career to helping mission-driven organizations succeed. Together, we explore the Nonprofit Life Cycle Framework—a powerful tool that outlines the predictable stages of growth every nonprofit encounters. Whether you're leading a startup organization or managing a mature nonprofit, Amy explains how this framework helps organizations overcome challenges, strategically scale, and build capacity at every stage.

Learn actionable insights like:

- What the Nonprofit Life Cycle Framework is and why it’s crucial for growth.

- The unique challenges and priorities at each stage: startup, growth, maturity, and decline.

- How smaller nonprofits can outshine larger ones with high-touch donor stewardship.

- Why diversifying revenue streams is essential for scaling beyond grassroots fundraising.

- Practical tips to align your fundraising plan with your nonprofit's current stage.
