Topic: Secrets of Growing a Nonprofit Organization: From Idea to Successful Operation

You may look at your nonprofit and wonder—how do we get from where we are now to being a large, sustainable organization? In the next Nonprofit Learning Series event, we will learn how one of the most successful local nonprofits has gone from a start-up to a successful organization.

It may seem like some large nonprofits are an “overnight success”. Ruth Johnson, President and CEO of Roundup River Ranch will share with you the trials, tribulations and hard work that it took to get to the place they are today. She was one of the first people the founder recruited in 2006. Today, they have grown to be one of the largest nonprofit organizations in the Vail Valley.

We will explore the key steps that they took that worked well and what they wished that they might have done differently.

Come and learn how you can grow your nonprofit as Robin Thompson, professional fundraising consultant, will ask Ruth questions so that you can get ideas from her expertise about:

  • What it took to get Roundup River Ranch established and to evolve into the organization that it is today
  • How Roundup River Ranch knew when it was time to hire more employees, expand to build capital projects and other things that are critical to growth, but are a difficult next-step for small nonprofits
  • The critical importance of keeping the mission and vision in focus during growth
  • Growing a large nonprofit in the Vail Valley from the ground up and the daily responsibilities of being CEO/President/Executive Director

Whether you currently are the CEO, President or Executive Director of a nonprofit, you will hear great ideas that will immediately help your nonprofit. your nonprofit. Join us on Thursday, April 12 from 1:00—2:30 at the US Bank, Avon (15 Benchmark Road) 3rd floor Conference Room.
