Hi Tom,


We releas= ed our 2026 benchmark report: The State of the Small Nonpro= fit in 2026.

It=E2=80=99= s built from responses across 322 small-to-mid-sized nonprofits<= /strong> and focuses on what=E2=80=99s actually driving growth (and what= =E2=80=99s quietly slowing teams down).

A few the= mes we kept seeing:

  • More= organizations are working harder, but donations are not scaling at the = same pace
  • Revenue volatility is making planning and staffing har= der than ever
  • Disconnected tools are creating a hidden =E2=80=9C= time tax=E2=80=9D on small teams

We also h= osted a roundtable discussion that had joined together over 60 different= nonprofit leaders, including panelists from the Purple Heart F= oundation, The Earth Organization, and Marley=E2=80=99s Mutts.<= /p>

If you wa= nt the full breakdown, here are two helpful resources:
