How nonprofits get big (featuring Bridgespan, City Year, and Youth Villages)

What separates nonprofits that scale significantly from those that stall out? New research from The Bridgespan Group points to focus. Nonprofits that grow tend to build deep expertise in one or two anchor funding sources rather than pursuing multiple and hoping for success.

Watch Patrick Schmitt, co-CEO of FreeWill, lead a conversation with Ali Kelley of The Bridgespan Group, along with Kanna Kunchala, Senior Executive Vice President and Chief Business Officer at City Year, and Catherine Smith, Chief Strategy Officer at Youth Villages, two organizations that have grown significantly using this approach.

This session dives into research-backed insights on how nonprofits create funding models built for scale, and our panelists share how their organizations put these strategies into practice.

In this webinar, we covered:

• Why concentrating on fewer funding sources can outperform broad diversification for long-term growth
• How to identify which funding types are the best fit for your organization's work
• Real strategies Youth Villages and City Year have used to build sustainable government and philanthropic revenue
