why our virtual incubator focuses on money and storytelling
At The Greater Sum, we’ve learned that two skills matter most in the early years of running a nonprofit: financial strategy and storytelling. Why? Because your key task as a start-up nonprofit is getting other people on board. You need them to understand what it takes to do the work. And you need them excited enough to commit to supporting it.
That’s why our virtual incubator for nonprofits focuses on fundraising strategy and nonprofit storytelling. You’ve got to be comfortable and confident talking about money—how much you have, how much you need, and what you’ll do with it. And you need to tell your story clearly so potential funders, partners, and volunteers see the value of investing in your mission.
In this video, you’ll hear from Executive Director Anna Taylor how our virtual incubator program helps leaders strengthen those skills and build real capacity for growth:
The Greater Sum’s virtual incubator is free, fully online, and designed for start-up nonprofits that are already doing the work and ready to grow. You can find the 2026 program dates on our Incubator page.
