Many nonprofits lack effective feedback loops and often don't use funds wisely, so I prefer to invest in projects that create tangible value.

We launched a crowdfunding platform where donors can see the families they are helping, ensuring transparency and accountability in our operations.

After working at a large humanitarian nonprofit in Washington DC, I was disheartened to see that despite the skills of the staff, the organization struggled to make a meaningful impact due to donor restrictions.

The contrarian question for nonprofits is to identify great causes that are unpopular, as those are often underfunded and impactful.

We decided that 100% of every donation would directly fund medical care, and we would be completely transparent about our financials and operations.

There's no urgency in non-profit fundraising, which leads to being pushed to the bottom of people's to-do lists.

Founders should communicate transparently with stakeholders about spending, especially after raising significant funds, to avoid misallocating resources.

Transparency with your team during fundraising is crucial. Sharing both good and bad news helps maintain trust and keeps everyone aligned on the company's goals.

In hindsight, we didn't track revenue effectively; we focused on usage metrics, which made it unclear how many monthly active users we needed for fundraising.
