You Don’t Flip a Switch “You need to start making your own money!” Nonprofit leaders hear this advice everywhere. Sometimes it even comes with an even starker warning: Diversify or die! It’s sound advice - yes. But there is something we don’t talk about enough: The journey from knowing what needs to change to actually making that change. Many nonprofit organizations have spent decades relying on donor funding. We’ve built our systems, developed our skills, hired our people and shaped our thinking around this model. Changing that doesn’t happen overnight. And resilience is about much more than money. It requires us to rethink and reshape our organizations. How we govern. How we use data. How we tell our stories. The policies we develop that support this transformation. How we prepare for leadership transitions. How we understand and mobilize the resources already available to us. It’s a whole organizational shift. At the recent NGO Risk, Compliance and Resilience Conference organized by Onyango and Company Advocates and @civicadvisory, I had the privilege of sharing @CivsourceAfrica’s own journey. Ours is far from a perfect story. Sometimes I feel like we’ve only taken two steps in nine years! We’ve had people ask us hard questions. We’ve had coaches and mentors challenge our assumptions. We’ve had to unlearn, experiment, make mistakes and try again. And we’re still learning. One thing I’ve come to appreciate is that changing an organization means changing the thinking of the people within it. And people don’t all change at the same pace. Leaders must bring their staff, boards and sometimes members along on this journey. That takes time, intentionality, patience and sometimes difficult conversations. I’m not making excuses for nonprofit leaders. I’m simply saying that building resilience is not like flipping a switch. It’s a process. It’s rarely linear. And because the nonprofit sector is not homogeneous, there is no single pathway that will work for everyone. I also reminded my fellow leaders at the conference that ours is a sector that knows change. We are constantly navigating changing circumstances, shifting priorities, new challenges and uncertain environments. We’ve learned to adapt, to adjust and to keep going. We are not starting from zero. We can draw on what we already know about managing change. The tools, the lessons, the experience of bringing people along, managing resistance and navigating uncertainty. All of these can serve us as we build more resilient organizations. So yes, let’s keep challenging nonprofit leaders to build resilience. Let’s also appreciate what it takes. The learning. The unlearning. The experimentation. The mistakes. The small steps that sometimes feel painfully slow. Knowing that we must change is one thing. Learning how to change is another. #OrganizationalResilience #ChangeManagement #NonProfitLeadership
