"Propel Nonprofits can help you prevent crises for your organization—not just help you through them. I think more people need to understand that! My advice to any organization would be—don't wait. Be proactive and reach out to Propel Nonprofits."
"I would encourage [nonprofit leaders] to create a relationship with Propel Nonprofits—regardless of whether they're currently looking at financial issues or not. They push you to think more holistically and long-term about the sustainability of the organization."
"What’s been so great about working with Propel Nonprofits is that they understand nonprofits—whether it’s cash flow, donor behavior, philanthropic giving—and the importance of our mission. If it were not for their support during a critical time for our organization, we would not have been able to open our doors as soon as we did."
"Janet and Propel Nonprofits have just been fundamental in giving The Works the opportunity to financially stabilize our organization. Not only because they can help us with funding, but in their understanding of how nonprofits work and their willingness to invest in us when so many other financial institutions would say ‘no way.’"
"Be transparent. Know your industry inside and out. And remember the gift is their ability to partner with you—the loan is the vehicle, but the partnership, mentoring and joint strategy is what it’s all about."
"Without Propel Nonprofits' partnership, we probably would've had to invest in finance consultants to get us where we needed to be. These deeper relationships are highly valuable and really significant for local nonprofits."
"Don’t wait until you have a need, or a crisis. Seek out Propel Nonprofits’ support and guidance while you’re stable so they can help you stay the course. They’ll help you truly understand your financial position, and work with you to figure out how you can grow, sustainably and efficiently."
