This Month's Topic

Revenue Resilience: How Nonprofits Can Thrive Amid Funding Volatility

Nonprofits today face a challenging reality: demand for services is rising while funding sources are becoming more competitive and unpredictable. In this Lunch & Learn session, moss+ross partner Dave Monaco will explore emerging trends in nonprofit revenue generation - from collaborative funding models to earned-revenue strategies and deeper donor engagement. The conversation will feature a live interview with a regional foundation leader offering insights from the funder perspective. Participants will leave with practical ideas for strengthening revenue resilience in an increasingly uncertain environment.


April's Guest Speaker:

A lifelong arts advocate, she built her career in the nonprofit sector as a fundraiser and arts administrator at performing arts institutions in California and New York City before joining the Foundation in 2005. Lori is an active leader in the philanthropic community, with involvement NC Symphony Society, the Raleigh Chamber of Commerce Foundation, and the Community Foundations National Standards, Carolina Small Business Development Fund, and the RTP Charitable Fund.
