This focus on outcomes is easier said than done but hard isn't impossible. You make a great point that looking internally (e.g. back office functions) as important as looking externally (e.g., funding and programs) when thinking about outcomes. "The goal isn’t to preserve the name on the letterhead or the history of an individual organization. It’s to advance outcomes, improve lives, and do so in ways that are sustainable, effective, and scalable."

Great newsletter! In my experience there are two types of nonprofits & NPO leaders: 1) those who say “these are MY clients, donors, programs—don’t even look over here. “ 2) those who say, “hey we work with the same population and provide similar service, maybe we should collaborate?”

Collaboration needs to happen more. Funders need to encourage it! Even admin tasks should be collaborative or “grouped” (HR, payroll, etc).
