Do you have a purchasing team? Do you just make purchases on an as needed basis? Do you feel you struggle with undermanaged spend due to lack of a purchasing strategy? YOU ARE NOT ALONE! Nonprofits, small businesses, and even large corporations struggle with purchasing and optimizing spend.
Each new year comes with a lot of excitement for a fresh start, but also a lot of stress for the unknown. As a nonprofit organization, you don’t know what the year holds, but you do know what you want to accomplish—helping as many people as possible! Although there will be obstacles within the market, we want to support you in your mission.
All nonprofits' main goal is to contribute to their mission as much as possible—we know that is a no brainer. One of the largest roadblocks is operating costs. It costs money to run any type ofbusiness, and this is a challenge for nonprofits nationwide. On top of the stress of keeping your organization going and donating as much as possible, you also have toalso consider your charity score.
We know your #1 priority is giving back to the community while keeping operational costs low. With inflation and supply chain disruptions, this isn't an easy task. On top of that, you may not have someone solely dedicated to purchasing on your team. So, where do you go from here? In order to maximize time and savings, leaders in the nonprofit space are looking to a cooperative purchasing organization as a strategic procurement partner in the marketplace.
