What makes the Nursey Foundation unique? At The Nursey Foundation, we recognize that many nonprofits possess incredible missions but lack the resources, knowledge, and support necessary to maintain sustainability and long-term success. Identifying this gap in the market for nonprofit support, we have made it a cornerstone of our outreach mission to give back to the community. Our Growth Optimization (GO) Program exemplifies this commitment, offering financial support and strategic guidance through strategy sessions to other nonprofits at no cost. One of the key pillars of our GO Program is to provide invaluable guidance from our four experienced founders, who offer their extensive expertise without a fee. This support enables nonprofits to operate more effectively, focusing less on day-to-day operations, growth, and finances, and more on fulfilling their mission. By bridging this gap, we empower nonprofits to thrive and make a more significant impact in their communities, amplifying the collective efforts towards positive social change.

Wow this data from Instrumentl is an eye opener for nonprofits seeking funds in the Mid-Atlantic area. Both Pennsylvania and Maryland ranked in the bottom 5 states for funding opportunities while California leads the way with funding opportunities for nonprofits. Granted these figures were evaluated in 2021 & 2022, however I have not seen much shifting on award amounts to indicate these figures aren't still relevant for today's funding allocations.
