              Benchmarks

              With the Indiana Youth Institute as our partner, we met with leaders from different types of nonprofits and asked them, “What do you have to do well to be effective and sustainable?” To hear their answers and learn from their experiences, click on the organization type below that best matches the type of work you do. Once you’ve read their advice (and focused on the highlighted area that is super-important) if you want ideas on how to strengthen your organization, head toward our Start Where You Are Bar.
