Top Problems in Nonprofit Management

The execution of strategy in nonprofits is important to its success. Typically, nonprofits try to make decisions that fit best depending on availability of funds, staff, time, and other factors. VolunteerHub wrote an article about the top issues nonprofits face. Among the list:

Not Making Decisions Based on the Mission
One of the biggest threats, usually created by organizations making spur of the moment decisions and drifting away from the original mission causing a change in brand perception and risks the organization becoming ineffective or overextended

No Succession Plan
There is no clear plan or direction for identifying new leaders who are capable of replacing current ones. This hurts growth in the long run by not preparing your bench strength for increased depth and responsibility and stagnating current leadership.

Lack of Strategic Budgeting
Finances surround one of the largest issues across the board in the nonprofit industry. It can be difficult without a steady flow of excess funds, but applying more strategy and communication around revenue, reporting, and planning expenditures can alleviate the issues.

Limited Operational Time Tracking for Employees and Volunteers
Tracking time can help realize how many people are needed to realize achieve organizational goals, increase retention, grant eligibility, improve management processes, and better the company’s chances of surviving an audit.
