The World is Doesn’t Need More Nonprofits. The World Needs More Effective Nonprofits.
Good news and bad news.
The good news: You are surrounded by bold, innovative, and generous (BIG) people who want to connect their hearts to a cause and help to change the world.
The bad news: The old ways of connecting with followers and soliciting their support don’t work so well anymore. If you don’t adopt your own bold and innovative ways to gain and retain followers, engage prospective donors and volunteers, and raise money you’ll be left in the dust.
We want to help you be one of the effective nonprofits by offering you inspiration, guidance and connections in three areas: board development, marketing, and fundraising.
BIG Fundraising
It’s tougher than ever to raise money, and the money you have saved can disappear in a blink if you’re not prepared. Your prospective donor base has changed, too.
No longer can you rely on a semi-engaged board to ask friends and relatives for year-end donations and expect such transactional giving to be enough.
You need to find and connect with bold, innovative, and generous people who are passionate about what you do, who will engage with your cause.
You need to develop business and financial practices that maximize the efficiency and efficacy of your organization.

BIG Marketing
Twentieth-century marketing doesn’t work for 21st-century nonprofits. The internet has changed the game — not just because it creates new ways for you to connect with prospects and followers, but also because it gives prospects and followers countless more options to connect with causes that matter to them. 
You face far stiffer competition that you ever faced before. How do you cut through the noise to gain followers who raise their hands. How do you retain followers who are truly engaged with the cause? How do you separate true volunteer and donor prospects from suspects? And how do you answer these questions with maximum efficiency and minimum hassle so you can devote precious resources to delivering services?
We’ve connected with BIG charities that have answered these questions well, and we have a team of marketing experts and partners who help nonprofits discover bold and innovative ways to gain and retain engaged followers. We offer inspiration, guidance and connections — through free resources on this site and other services — to help you gain and retain engaged followers with maximum efficiency and minimum hassle so you achieve your mission with BIG success.
BIG Board Engagement
Without an engaged board, your nonprofit cannot survive or thrive in the 21st century. Just as good fund raisers must nurture donors’ passion, so, too, must nonprofit leaders nurture board members’ passions. There are bold, innovative, and generous people at the board table. You have to help them discover their BIG passion and connect their hearts with your cause.
Engagement for a board member should not be about doing a job, meeting an obligation, or performing some duty. It should be about personal fulfillment, opportunity to connect with a cause, a way to discover and then spread passion. Many organizations do a lousy job of helping board members explore and discover their connections to the cause.
We’ve studied organizations that do it well, and we’ve advised nonprofits to help them get better. We offer inspiration, guidance and connections — through free resources on this site and other services — to help you develop a stronger, more engaged board that will help you achieve your mission more effectively.
Your travel guide for your BIG journey. Inspiring stories of BIG people and how they did it. Guidance to help you achieve your BIG dreams. And connections so you can join the rising tide of dreams to action. 
Bold, innovative and generous people are in every corner of America. We want to find them, celebrate them, and connect them with you. In the next few weeks and months, we plan to connect with BIG people in every congressional district in America.
