An Interview With Amanda Carter, CoachArt

FS: Any major difficulties or setbacks you’ve faced along the way? Things you would do differently with your fundraising?
AC: We haven’t had any major difficulties or setbacks in our fundraising. However, I believe that one of the most exciting things about CoachArt also presents itself as one of our greatest challenges. In a relatively short period of time, the organization transitioned from being a small start-up to a medium-sized nonprofit. This growth has required a shift in the mind-set of the board, staff leadership and outside supporters. We were forced to look at our operating model to devise pragmatic approaches to how we will sustain and grow our programs now that the organization is maturing.
