Breaking Through the $500K Ceiling
Most nonprofits struggle with the same fundamental challenges when trying to scale beyond $500K. The Hills Tandem has identified the three critical barriers that keep organizations trapped at this level:
The Leadership Trap
Executives spending 70-80% of their time on administrative tasks instead of strategic growth. This creates a perpetual cycle where visionaries get pulled into day-to-day operations.
The Impact Measurement Gap
Inability to effectively track, measure, and communicate outcomes to stakeholders. Without clear ROI metrics, securing larger funding becomes nearly impossible.
The Single-Source Risk
Over-reliance on one funding stream (typically grants) creates vulnerability and limits growth potential. Organizations need diversified revenue to scale sustainably.
The TandemCore System addresses each of these barriers directly, giving your nonprofit the infrastructure to scale impact without scaling headaches. Organizations implementing these systems typically see initial results within 90 days.
