This podcast episode features Nancy Bacon discussing the important process of "pruning" for nonprofit organizations to experience sustainable growth. The team provided helpful framing and strategies for nonprofits to thoughtfully prune in a way that supports their long-term health, impact, and sustainable growth while staying aligned with their core reasons for existing. Both organizations and individuals should reflect on how to "prune" themselves to better support others in taking action.
It's important to periodically "prune" programs and practices through a lens of what still aligns with an organization's mission and purpose is important for sustainable growth. Honoring and openly discussing emotions, which are deeply tied to nonprofits, can help with difficult pruning decisions. Having courage is needed to proactively prune and make changes rather than just doubling down on the status quo.
Key Takeaways:
- The importance of periodically evaluating programs and practices to determine what still aligns with the organization's core mission and purpose. Nancy encouraged nonprofits to take everything out and only put back what "brings them joy."
- The challenges of pruning given the emotional nature of nonprofits, but the importance of openly acknowledging and discussing emotions.
- Examples of nonprofits collaborating within their sector's ecosystem to maximize impact and do less duplicative work.
- Tips like focusing on an organization's higher purpose rather than emotional attachments to specific projects or programs when deciding what to prune.
