What's in this Nonprofit Business Model Canvas template

A walkthrough of the six-pillar nonprofit business model canvas, with guided questions for each area: problem statement, foundations, value creation, value delivery, sustainability, and value capture. Includes practical examples and a framework for connecting mission to financial viability.

Tips for using it

Start with the problem statement - everything else flows from a clear understanding of the challenge you exist to address. Work through the canvas with diverse voices from across your organisation, not just leadership. Revisit it quarterly as your context evolves.
