Masterclass: Investing in Not For Profit Innovation for Growth and Impact

not for profit innovation masterclass

The Session

80% of not for profit leaders say they want to innovate. Only 40% have actually set up the conditions to do it. This is based on a Bridgespan Group survey of 145 nonprofit leaders, supported by The Rockefeller Foundation and published in Stanford Social Innovation Review.

That gap isn't about ideas. It's about readiness – whether your organisation has the strategy, culture, governance, and evidence base to make innovation investment land. I’m running a live masterclass on this for not for profit executive leaders.

We’ll unpack a practical innovation readiness framework, how to make the case for investment to boards and funders, and how to avoid the common pitfalls that waste time and money. If you’re leading a for purpose organisation and want to invest in innovation that lands, this session is for you.
