How To Build Your Nonprofit In Less Time… Even If You Don’t Know Where To Start
Get the ongoing support you need to overcome the two main reasons nonprofits fail in the first year
You are Ready to Get Your Nonprofit Started, But…
figuring out how to start is confusing.
Figuring out how to start is overwhelming. If you’re like most nonprofit founders, you feel like you’ve walked into a foreign world.
You’ve likely said, “I have my 501(c)3! Now what?!?”
You might feel stuck because:
✔️ You don’t know how to build infrastructure that leads to funding.
✔️ You’re relying on personal funds because fundraising seems intimidating.
✔️ You’re focusing on programs, buildings, and grants instead of building sustainability.
Sound familiar? You’re not alone. But there’s a better way.
The biggest mistake Founders make is they don’t overcome the two reasons nonprofits fail in their first year-
- building the infrastructure that leads to funding
- being the sole funder.
You don’t build infrastructure and funding because you:
- Don’t know how
- Want to start doing good in the world
- Don’t like asking people for money
So… you focus on programs, buildings, and grants because it seems easier than creating the infrastructure that ACTUALLY leads to funding.
You focus on programs because that’s where your passion lies… helping people.
You focus on buildings because you need somewhere to provide your program.
You focus on grants because you’ve been told grants are free money and it means you don’t have to actually ask for money. Grants just seem easier.
You see fundraising as begging and it just doesn’t feel right.

Introducing the Founder’s Society Membership
Helping Nonprofit Founders Get to the Doing Much Faster with a Membership That Gets You Implementing, Not Just Learning.
Hi! I’m Alesha Mathis.
The Build a New Nonprofit Framework and the Nonprofit Founder’s Society came from my experience working on a first-year nonprofit’s Board. At the time, I had worked in nonprofits for eight years in Administration, Fundraising, and Programs. I knew what it took to run a nonprofit and get funding.
I knew a good foundation in management and fundraising would pay dividends. My opinion was ignored because the majority wanted to do the shiny things instead of rolling up their sleeves and setting the organization up for success. They spent months on the events hamster wheel.
…But without the foundations and systems in place, without a program for donors and funders to donate to- there was not a lot that could be done to raise money.
They would still have to put together a Strategic Plan to get going. They had wasted a lot of time!
After one year, the organization had barely determined who they were, what they wanted to do, or how they were going to do it.
Even sadder, the nonprofit folded six months after I left. They had not built their infrastructure that led to funding and the Founder was still the funder.
I didn’t want it to happen to another Founder or organization so I set out to answer one question: What infrastructure absolutely needs to be implemented in the first year to get funding from individual donors, companies, and eventually grant funders?
I then took it a step further after talking to hundreds of Founders. They were overwhelmed by all their to-dos. So, I began helping them prioritize their to-dos and focus on the things that will get them serving people in the fastest way possible.
I created the BUILD Framework™ and the Founder’s Society Membership so nonprofit leaders can have a clear roadmap to funding success.
