Bridgespan says to concentrate. It's asking the wrong question.
Bridgespan says nonprofits scale by concentrating revenue, not diversifying it. That's true, and it's not the whole story. Ten government contracts or twenty foundation grants can look diversified and still fail together if they run on the same clock. Scale and resilience are different measurements. This post asks the question Bridgespan's data can't answer: not how many revenue streams, but whether they fail for the same reason on the same day.
