Here in the community where we live, Nike founder Phil Knight caused quite a stir over the weekend with a very public and dramatic announcement of a $500 million challenge gift for cancer research.
A news article can be found here.
This is not only an incredible statement on how he and his wife value the work of the organization they've chosen to support with such a groundbreaking gift... but it also speaks to the power of an organization with a vision... an organization that isn't afraid to dream big... an organization that is confident and unfailingly honest about what it will take to successfully accomplish the work it has set out to do.
Sure, $500 million isn't what every organization needs to fulfill it's potential. But what amount would transform your organization's ability to do more? What steps can you take to put a value on the impact your organization can create? And what steps will you take to set about making it happen?
