Recovery Movement Academy
Nonprofit Sustainability Training: Adapt, Diversify, and Thrive
Build a Sustainable Funding Strategy Amid Federal and Private Funding Shifts
At Recovery Movement Consulting (RMC), we understand the challenges Recovery Community Organizations (RCOs) and SUD/MH-focused nonprofits face in securing funding, managing operations, and building long-term sustainability. Our Recovery Movement Academy offers expert-led training to help your organization strengthen fundraising , grant writing, data collection, AI integration, bookkeeping, social enterprise development, and more—at a fraction of the cost of hiring a full-time team.
Why Invest in Training?
Nonprofits are facing unprecedented challenges in 2025, with major shifts in funding requirements and the federal grant freeze eliminating key SAMHSA programs and positions. More private and public foundations now demand proof of diversified revenue streams, making it clear that relying solely on grants is no longer sustainable.
To stay competitive, nonprofits must urgently adapt their strategies, scaling their fundraising efforts and strengthening data collection. Funders now expect organizations to secure funding from multiple sources—grants, individual donors, corporate sponsors, and social enterprises—before awarding support.
Our training programs are designed to help you navigate these changes, build financial resilience, and position your organization for long-term success.
