About Nonprofit GPS
Chart Your Future Business Model with New Insights and Connection
In an era of economic uncertainty and shifting ground rules, the work of nonprofits has never been more important or more vulnerable. Nonprofit GPS was created to meet this moment.
We help nonprofit leaders make well-informed decisions, navigate business model risks, and keep the mission alive, even in the face of disruption. Built on decades of field experience and sector collaboration, Nonprofit GPS opens avenues to peer wisdom, practical tools, and professional support that enable real-world action.
What We Do
Nonprofit GPS strengthens how nonprofits adapt and plan for the future through:
- Peer Connection — A nationwide network for ongoing dialogue, advisory input, and collaborative learning
- Practical Tools — Free, searchable access to risk assessment frameworks, planning models, and real examples from the field
- Professional Support — Guidance from experienced practitioners through informational sessions and one-on-one consultations
Through webinars, town halls, resource banks, affinity groups, and advisory cohorts, we help organizations confront risk, communicate realities, and chart their future business models with intention.
