Case Study: Soles4Souls multiplies revenue and impact with Scaling Up

Soles4Souls grows revenue 5x with Scaling Up

Soles4Souls, a nonprofit organization, was facing a cash flow crisis and struggling to manage its partnerships effectively, particularly when a key donor, Crocs, encountered challenges with a shoe recycling program. The organization partnered with Scaling Up to refocus on its core mission and strengthen its operational approach.

By reconnecting with its organizational soul through the guidance of Scaling Up, Soles4Souls implemented a partnership-first strategy. This involved making bold, mission-driven investments and creatively solving partners' logistical problems. As a result, Scaling Up helped Soles4Souls multiply its annual revenue by 5x, from $4 million to $20 million, build a cash reserve, and significantly expand its global economic and disaster relief impact.
