Starting a nonprofit can feel like standing at the edge of a cliff with a parachute you’ve never packed. In this episode, Jeff, Inga, and Mark sit down with Matt Stockman to unpack his six-part framework—the Nonprofit Launch Plan—that helps emerging nonprofits go from overwhelmed to organized.

What You’ll Learn:

• Why most nonprofit founders are driven by mission, but held back by a lack of structure.
• The six critical areas every nonprofit must address to thrive: development, leadership, operations, finances, marketing, and programs.
• How to craft a mission statement that’s clear, confident, and actually useful (not just pretty words on paper).
• Fundraising 101: The five elements of a successful ask—from the problem to the call to action.
• Why board composition matters and how to choose members who push your org forward (not just nod along).
• The truth about events: how great guest experiences drive revenue—and why not all tech is created equal.

Matt’s Big Takeaway: The difference between a nonprofit that survives and one that thrives often lies in having a simple, flexible framework and the courage to stick to it.
