Your organization is focused on serving people outwardly, but you don’t allocate enough time, talent, and energy on your internal systems that will ensure greater impact. As a result, you are unable to serve your community at the level you want to.

“Just 10 years ago I was burned out, because the nonprofit I led had not become what I envisioned…
I knew we were capable of reaching far more people, but I was frustrated it wasn’t happening. We needed a stronger team to lead us into a more impactful future, but it felt impossible to attract, retain, and develop top talent.”
-Chris Lambert, Founder/CEO of Life Remodeled & author of Next Level Nonprofit
That all changed when we created an operating system that helped our organization build a dream team and increase lasting impact.

I’ve written a book called Next Level Nonprofit, and it shares our story of failures and successes while providing a step-by-step guide to achieve operational excellence.
“Are you convinced of the rightness of your mission yet bogged down by the unanticipated challenges of growth in a complex landscape? Next Level Nonprofit provides a lens—and a toolkit— to help the beleaguered nonprofit leader regain some sanity. I found this book convicting, inspiring, and turbo-charging all at once.”
“Nonprofit leaders need more than big hearts to confront our world’s most pressing problems. They need a blueprint for operational excellence, and that’s just what Chris Lambert provides.”
“Chris presents a ‘how-to’ in developing best practices that truly impact the outputs and outcomes of an organization. From a funder’s perspective, this guide to organizational change and effective performance is a must-read.”
“I have seen how effective the Next Level Nonprofit tools are when used consistently. I would encourage any organization looking to create strong infrastructure to start here.”
“The incredible humans who work in the nonprofit sector have all the passion, dedication, and heart they need to fulfill their missions. Next Level Nonprofit ensures they also have the solid strategy, concrete organizational structure, and united team that will allow the focus to remain on lasting mission fulfillment.”
“This is a go-to guide for the modern nonprofit leader, with practical, actionable methods to ensure your nonprofit operating system can increase both outcomes and impact.”
“Lambert brings together solid business principles and approaches informed by prominent business and leadership experts. He provides a pragmatic model for nonprofits ready to move to the next level of organizational management.”

Your team can certainly self-implement our system, and my book will show you exactly how to do it. However, for those who want to go much further faster, you will want to hire a Next Level Nonprofit Coach. The average cost for the services we offer is $50k – $75k for the first year. However, we provide our program to nonprofits for only $20k for the first year and $15k per additional year, because we are so passionate about providing access and transforming the landscape of the nonprofit sector.
About the Author
Dr. Chris Lambert is the founder and CEO of Life Remodeled, award-winning author of Next Level Nonprofit, and founder of the Next Level Nonprofit organizational operating system. It’s not the career trajectory Chris envisioned when he studied marketing at Indiana University, planned for law school, or dreamed of a lucrative career as a real estate developer. But a new call took shape after a spiritual awakening during his junior year of college, and Chris went on to earn his MDiv and doctorate in preaching from Fuller and Gordon-Conwell seminaries, respectively. Moving to Liberia, Chris and his wife helped a village mobilize support to drill a well, acquire farm animals, and construct their very first school building. Upon returning to the U.S., Chris founded a church called Ekklesia. In 2010 he launched Life Remodeled, which repurposes vacant school buildings into one-stop hubs of opportunity and helps create neighborhood revitalization that lasts.
From recognition on the TEDx stage to lists like Crain’s 40 Under 40, Building Design + Construction 40 Under 40, and SMART BUSINESS Dealmaker of the Year, Chris’s reputation precedes him. But it’s the journey ahead—and the people who are helping to lead the way—that excites him most.
