Major Gifts Ramp-Up Controversy – The Emperor Has No Clothes

Major Gifts Ramp-Up Controversy – The Emperor Has No Clothes takes a look at charity’s brokenness and the solutions nonprofits must deploy to end the crazy-making. Major Gifts Ramp-Up (MGRU) is not nonprofit management 101. Rather, it is for seasoned c-suite executives who dare to confront this train wreck we call charity. It is a tightly facilitated 2-day session that uses an “emperor has no clothes” approach that celebrates participants’ convictions. MGRU relies on the audience to inspire confidence and change. Simply put, a Major Gifts Ramp-Up Event will challenge everything you believe about nonprofit management and the raising of money.

Major Gifts Ramp-Up Controversy – Truth Will Set Us Free

Did you know, that charity spends over 1.2 trillion dollars annually (U.S. Chamber of Commerce). YES, not billions, but 1.2 TRILLION!

CHARITY IS BEREFT OF LEADERSHIP. The nonprofit sector is larger than U.S. manufacturing and yet our boards and executives oversee the mismanagement of trillions at the expense of men, women, children and families in need. Someone has to say it, someone has to point and shout “THE EMPEROR HAS NO CLOTHES”.

How? Let’s start by coming together for Major Gifts Ramp-Up.
