Sarah’s Top Quotes:

“Time is money is just as true for nonprofits. The secret sauce to speed is to hire experts who already know how to do ‘the thing.’ You need to bypass the learning curve or make it as short as possible.”

“There are two pieces when we build strategies. There is your mission and there are the specific steps you are taking to achieve your mission.”

“Growth is bigger impact, bigger monster of a nonprofit. Scale means bigger impact, but proportionally less effort in delivering that impact.”

“Brace yourself: You may have to cut your programming to boost up your fundraising capacity right now, because staying alive financially is what’s going to allow you to live another day to deliver your mission.”

“Focus gives you clarity. Once you have clarity, you can gain perspective. And once you have perspective of what’s going on, you gain certainity.”
