Philadelphia, PA, May 28, 2025 – As nonprofits nationwide face dwindling donations, vanishing grants, and rising demand for services, SmallBizLady Enterprises is stepping up to offer a lifeline. On Wednesday, June 5th at 6 PM ET, the company will host a free webinar training titled “How to Create a Revenue Engine for Your Nonprofit”, featuring nationally recognized nonprofit fundraising strategist Anisha Robinson Keeys.
The session is designed for nonprofit leaders, board members, and fundraisers who are grappling with funding uncertainty and want to build sustainable, earned income streams to stabilize their missions.
“There’s an existential crisis in the nonprofit sector right now,” said Melinda Emerson, CEO of SmallBizLady Enterprises, “Federal and corporate funding is shrinking while the demand for nonprofit services is growing. We believe it’s time to borrow proven strategies from the small business world to help nonprofits become more financially resilient. That’s why we created this training—to spark a mindset shift and give mission-driven leaders a real plan.”
