×In today’s unpredictable landscape, nonprofit organizations face both unprecedented opportunities and complex challenges. Economic shifts, global crises, and cultural changes have altered the way people give. Yet at the heart of this transformation lies a timeless truth: donors want to feel connected to a cause. That means nonprofit leaders must adapt—by weaving data, storytelling, and human connection into every aspect of fundraising. Stephen Halasnik, co-founder of Financing Solutions, sat down with Tim Sarrantonio of Neon One, a leading nonprofit software company, to explore the future of fundraising. Their conversation revealed that while technology can help organizations thrive, it is ultimately the human element—the story, the relationship, the personal connection—that drives long-term donor support.…

1 The Importance Of Culture At Your NonProfit: Lessons From Penmar Human Services NonProfit MBA 8.23 44:08
Nonprofit leaders often focus on mission statements, fundraising goals, and strategic plans. Yet one of the most influential drivers of success is often underestimated: organizational culture. Culture shapes how employees show up, how teams collaborate, and how communities perceive the nonprofit itself. For nonprofits, where purpose is paramount and turnover can be costly, culture isn’t just a “nice-to-have” — it’s the backbone of long-term impact. In this episode of The NonProfit MBA Podcast, host Stephen Halasnik sits down with Greg Miller of Penmar Human Services to discuss why a strong organizational culture is vital for nonprofits and how leaders can build one.…
Financial uncertainty has become the defining challenge for many churches and nonprofit organizations across the United States.

In today’s nonprofit world, the difference between financial stability and constant budget anxiety often comes down to one deceptively simple practice: donor stewardship. While many organizations focus their energy on acquiring new supporters, the real growth engine lies in keeping the ones they already have. That’s the message fundraising consultant Katherine Lacefield, founder of Just Because Consulting, shared on a recent episode of the Nonprofit MBA Podcast. With a background advising nonprofits across the globe, she’s seen the same pattern again and again: groups that cultivate deep, consistent relationships with their donors—not just during campaigns, but year-round—are the ones that thrive. And surprisingly, she says, building those relationships doesn’t require full-time effort. With the right approach, even one hour a week can make a measurable difference.…
When nonprofit organizations draft strategic plans, the expectation is stability. A three-to-five-year vision is meant to guide priorities, operations, and growth. But what happens when the world changes faster than the paper it’s written on? In a recent episode of the Nonprofit MBA Podcast, Stephen Halasnik of Financing Solutions sat down with Marie Palacios, Lead Consultant at Funding for Good, to discuss a subject that’s rapidly gaining urgency: how nonprofits can adapt their strategic plans in a changing reality. “In today’s environment, you have to hold strategy loosely,” said Palacios. “Because the reality you planned for may not be the one you’re living in next quarter.”…
In a world where startup ventures are celebrated for their risk-taking, innovation, and scalability, the nonprofit sector often finds itself stifled by outdated funding models, rigid expectations, and chronic underinvestment. But what if we approached nonprofit funding with the same mindset we use to launch tech companies?

In a recent episode of the Nonprofit MBA Podcast, host Stephen Halasnik of Financing Solutions sat down with Greg Harrell-Edge, nonprofit strategist and former Executive Director of the Harold Robinson Foundation, to explore this provocative question. Their conversation reveals a powerful reframing of how we view nonprofit organizations—and how transformative the sector could become if we embraced a startup-style funding philosophy.…

1 The Resilient Sector: How Nonprofits Can Lead Through Crisis and Come Out Stronger Nonprofit MBA 8.17 42:37
The crises of recent years—be they economic, political, or global health-related—have taught us one thing: the world turns to nonprofits when everything else breaks down. Food banks, housing initiatives, health clinics, and educational programs didn’t close when the world did. Instead, they scaled up. They innovated. They adapted. But while the public relies on them, the financial foundation of many nonprofits remains fragile. And that’s where the conversation between nonprofit lending expert Stephen Halasnik and BlueHub Capital CEO Elyse Cherry begins: not with despair, but with a call for reinvention.…
