“My organization is a small fish in a big pond”

Are you guilty of saying those ten little well-meaning words? If it does, here’s my recommendation: Never, EVER say this to yourself again. Really, I mean it.

One of the nonprofits I consulted yesterday said this phrase 3 times in just a few minutes! It’s mindset poison. There are all sizes of nonprofits, from all volunteer-run to 100+ employees, but the IMPACT your nonprofit makes has very little to do with it.

So how does your nonprofit stand out in your sector? Even among “the giants?”

Consider this: Your magic is in what you do, how you do it, who you serve… not how big your annual budget is or how many people are in your marketing department!

Even better? Because your organization is smaller, you can implement more creative ideas quickly, without the sign off of 10 different departments. Pure gold, right? Have a fun idea about a new video series… Pitch it to your E.D. and GO FOR IT! This same tactic could take months (or years) to implement in a larger org.

Comparison with a giant isn’t going to get you closer to serving your sector, growing your community, or fundraising like a pro! So remember:

What makes you different? How are you impacting your unique community? Tell that story and drop the narrative about being too “small.” Let that be your superpower!
