Stop Chasing Grants: Real Talk on Funding Diversification

February 26, 2026 • 2:00 – 3:00 PM ET

Nonprofit leaders face a critical paradox: having secured funding doesn't mean having cash. Between grant reimbursement delays, underutilized asset-based giving opportunities, and over-reliance on single funding streams, many organizations find themselves "rich on paper, broke in reality."

Join Matt Gardner (CEO, Hiline) for a fireside chat with Karen Houghton (CEO, Infinite Giving) and Kevin Allan (CEO, Changing Our World) exploring how nonprofits can build truly sustainable funding models through strategic diversification.

What You'll Learn:

Why 90% of nonprofits leave money on the table by not accepting stock gifts, and how to unlock funding sources most NPOs don’t know exist including securities, crypto, and donor-advised funds (DAFs)
How to move beyond cookie-cutter corporate giving asks to build aligned, multi-year partnerships with companies
Why grant timing creates cash crises and how to forecast through the chaos
Strategic diversification tactics across corporate partnerships, individual donors, and alternative funding sources
What turns warm prospects into committed supporters (and what sends your proposals to the trash)
How the 13-week cash flow framework creates stability that makes diversification actually possible

This conversation-style webinar moves beyond theory to tackle the real operational challenges of funding diversification and the cash flow discipline required to make it work.
