The sustainability question is arriving earlier in funder meetings. The organizations navigating this moment best are not writing a better pitch. They are building a revenue model they can defend.
The free Mission Meets Market Sustainability Toolkit is the companion to EdSolutions Partner Jay Bakhru’s book, Mission Meets Market: A Sales and Marketing Playbook for Education Nonprofits. The book explains how education funding flows and why strong programs stall. The Toolkit turns that thinking into a plan you can put in front of a board or a funder.
What’s inside
Eleven guided modules and more than twenty fillable templates, each building a section of your own Sustainability Plan. Work it front to back, or open the module that matches what is urgent right now:
- The restricted-dollar squeeze. Module 5, the Revenue Model Health Check, shows how much funding would disappear if your largest source left.
- Funders asking for the plan up front. The value proposition and pricing modules work through what you do, who it is for, what it costs to deliver and how to set a price you can defend.
- Earned revenue as the steadying force. The mixed funding module puts earned revenue and philanthropy into one plan.
Why it’s free
The organizations that most need rigorous revenue thinking often have the least budget to hire it. A guided, self-serve tool puts the same discipline within reach of a two-person shop and a national nonprofit alike.
For funders: point your portfolio to the Toolkit for a shared language on revenue. Module 5 is a fast diagnostic to request before a renewal conversation.
For organizations: start with Module 5. You finish with a written plan, not notes about a plan.
