Beyond Diversification: Making Smart Revenue Decisions for 2026 (Webinar Series)

Series Description:

Every nonprofit leader is striving for a stable, sustainable revenue strategy, but in today’s shifting economic and philanthropic landscape, determining the right path forward isn’t simple. With donor behavior evolving and funding streams in flux, it can feel increasingly difficult to decide where to focus. Should you expand your grant portfolio? Explore earned income? Double down on major gifts? The instinct to pursue multiple revenue streams is understandable, but more activity doesn’t always lead to better results.

At the same time, “diversification” is often promoted as the universal solution to reduced government funding and broader philanthropic changes. In reality, revenue diversification is complex, capacity-driven, and rarely one-size-fits-all. Without clear data and a strong strategic framework, even smart, proactive efforts can drain resources and dilute impact.

During this two-part webinar series Deborah Steinkopf and Anthony Petchel will help you move from uncertainty to clarity. Together, the sessions will help you understand what’s shaping the philanthropic environment in 2026 and determine the revenue model that best aligns with your mission, capacity, and long-term goals.
