“In any given moment we have two options: to step forward into growth or to step back into safety.” Abraham Maslow

Growth requires both strategy and agility. So do nonprofit strategic advancement efforts. Growth requires strategic top-down drivers as well as agile opportunistic drivers percolating up from a dynamic environment.
Through careful long-term strategic advancement planning, a nonprofit can create a systematic portfolio of fundraising and business development activities designed to produce the revenue it needs to grow and thrive.

Combining this with Agile Opportunity Generation, an organization can focus on the dynamic and rapidly changing landscape of opportunities with the agility needed to drive the action.

Agile fundraising, which was inspired by agile software development, focuses on iterative design innovation, partnership development, and fundraising in an integrated way.

Agile fundraising addresses the limitations of traditional fundraising where planning and implementation phases are distinct and sequential.

Now you: What is one thing you do that is agile?
