A healthy nonprofit depends on more than generous donors—it depends on a balanced and sustainable mix of revenue. Relying too heavily on a single funding source can leave organizations vulnerable, while a diversified revenue strategy creates greater stability, flexibility, and long-term impact.

Join us for the next Greater Springfield AFP Rise & Thrive session as Michael Baldree explores why revenue diversification is essential for nonprofit sustainability. Drawing on his financial expertise, Michael will help participants assess their organization's current revenue mix, identify potential risks and opportunities, and learn practical, achievable steps to begin diversifying revenue over time.

Rather than focusing on accounting rules, this session will provide strategic guidance that nonprofit leaders, fundraisers, finance professionals, and board members can immediately apply to strengthen their organizations, increase capacity, and build greater financial resilience.

Date: July 22, 2026
Time: 9:00 a.m. – 10:00 a.m.
Location: Richwood Bank, 2454 N. Limestone St., Springfield, OH
