Coaching

Applications Are Open for the 2027 Nonprofit Growth Grant

Nov 11, 2026||Ron Shank

I’ve been looking forward to writing this one.

The 2027 Nonprofit Growth Grant is open to any 501(c)(3) nonprofit. It’s a full year of one-on-one coaching with me. If you lead a nonprofit and funding keeps you up at night, keep reading.

Why I’m doing this

Most nonprofit leaders I meet are great at the work. They’re also stretched thin. Grants shrink. Donors go quiet. The website hasn’t been touched in years. And nobody has time to fix the fundraising side when the mission needs them every single day.

Paying it forward has always been a guiding principle of mine. Sow good things, and good things tend to come back around. This grant is one more way of putting that into practice.

What one nonprofit did this year

Lois Healy leads the Affordable Homeownership Foundation in Fort Myers, Florida. It’s a HUD-approved nonprofit that helps families keep their homes. This year, Lois and I worked together on how her organization raises money.

Here’s how she describes it:

“Ron Shank gave us the strategy, messaging, and confidence to rebuild our support from the ground up. His expertise turned a crisis into a turning point for Affordable Homeownership Foundation, and we are now a more resilient organization because of it.”

Lois M. Healy, CEO, Affordable Homeownership Foundation Inc.

That’s her story, in her words.

What the grant includes

  • One year of one-on-one coaching with Strategic Growth Advisor Ron Shank
  • Weekly meetings over Zoom
  • Access to our Profit University platform
  • Access to our tracking software

Who should apply

Any nonprofit with 501(c)(3) status can apply.

I look forward to hearing from you soon.

All the best!
Ron

PS: Feel free to share this with any non-profit you’d like to see grow in 2027.

A completed sale often gets treated as the finish line. The order is fulfilled, the invoice is paid, the customer is thanked, and attention moves back to lead generation.

Businesses have added 56% net profit without increasing their marketing budget. There were no new campaigns to fund. No larger advertising spend. The improvement came from examining the business that already existed and finding revenue and profit opportunities inside it. The point isn’t that growth requires a heroic effort. It often requires a closer look […]
