Take the LEAP with us.
I live in a world of acronyms -- admittedly, some are better than others. But I am leaning into this newest one -- LEAP. So what does it mean?
"Build a life you don't need a vacation from."
I love that quote. It doesn't mean a break now and then isn't nice, but I really love my day-to-day life...do you? Here's a check-up to consider:

Understanding the Charity Ladder
Understanding the Charity Ladder is an insightful and thought-provoking concept and also a training that we offer at CDP.
Let's get real about stewardship and sustainability.
CDP's tag-line for nonprofits is "Get organized. Get funded." Be sustainable. We encourage nonprofits to work toward the long-term viability of their nonprofits. Resource development is a marathon, not a sprint.
Partnerships are Key.
Partnerships are a two-way street and we need to be actively looking for ways to connect to be helped and help others.
Character counts most.
According to Nonprofit Quarterly the average nonprofit executive director stays six years. For new nonprofits? It's less than two years.
