Nonprofit Nation with Julia Campbell

How to Be Fundable and Findable with Kevin L. Brown

Julia Campbell Season 2 Episode 193

What if the reason you're not raising more money... isn't your fundraising strategy?

Kevin L. Brown believes most nonprofits are stuck in the wrong cycle—constantly doing more fundraising, instead of fixing their fundability and visibility. In this episode, the Mighty Ally CEO and author of Fundable & Findable shares a brand-first, strategy-driven approach to nonprofit growth that challenges everything you've been told about development. 

We explore why only 1 in 1,000 nonprofits ever scale, what makes a nonprofit actually attractive to funders, and how branding, positioning, and clarity of purpose aren’t luxuries—they’re prerequisites for serious funding.

Topics We Cover:

  • Why more fundraising isn’t the solution
  • The Fundable/Findable Framework: what it is and how it works
  • The nonprofit brand gap—and how to fix it
  • What funders are really looking for
  • Lessons from building nonprofits across four continents
  • Practical steps to get fundable and findable, even on a small budget
