What's Your Endgame?: A New Approach to Scaling

How do you scale up? How, in other words, do you increase the size of your organizations in an effort to achieve greater impact? It’s a question that nonprofit leaders everywhere find themselves asking. But what if that’s the wrong question?

Instead, more and more nonprofit leaders are posing a different question: What’s your endgame? An "endgame" is the specific role that a nonprofit intends to play in the overall solution to a social problem. There are, in fact, multiple endgames for nonprofits to consider—and only one of them involves scaling up in order to sustain and expand an existing program or service.

In this webinar, you’ll learn how nonprofit leaders can define their endgame early and pursue it intentionally, and how funders can help grantees bring their endgames to completion. Join Alice Gugelev and Andrew Stern from the Global Development Incubator, along with Mitchell Besser from mothers2mothers, Willy Foote from Root Capital, and Taz Tagore from the Reciprocity Foundation. These nonprofit leaders will discuss how they defined—and in some cases changed—the endgame that their organization is pursuing.
