What If Nonprofits Could Grow Without Letting “Back-Office” Costs Take Over? Featuring Ryan Dewey Smith
Description
What happens when nonprofit leaders can spend less time worrying about the business—and more time advancing the mission?
On this episode of Pull the Chute, Jeff and Janna sit down with Ryan Dewey Smith, founder and CEO of Imperium, to unpack a different approach to nonprofit growth.
Ryan shares how organizations can use scale, shared services, strategic financing, and operational efficiencies to reduce the burden of back-office costs while staying focused on their mission.
One takeaway really stood out:
“Putting your hand up and asking for help isn't a negative. That's a positive and a strategy for success.”
For nonprofit leaders, growth isn't just about expanding programs. It's also about building an infrastructure that can support the mission for years to come.
