The Lean Nonprofit: Why Better Questions Beat Bigger Budgets

Send us Fan Mail

Matt Lombardi, founder of Share Talent, introduces a transformative approach to nonprofit growth by applying lean startup principles rooted in his journey from ministry to digital consulting. He urges mission-driven organizations to build with their communities, not just for them, through radical humility, listening, and experimentation. Using frameworks like MVPs (Minimum Viable Products) and MAPs (Minimum Awesome Products), Matt shows how nonprofits can adapt quickly, avoid waste, and sustain impact. His core message challenges the status quo: stop chasing more funding—start asking better questions, kill what no longer works, and build what truly matters.
