The 3Cs Every Nonprofit Needs to Survive and Scale (Compliance, Culture, Consistency)

Scrappy to Scalable: Human centered AI that drives growth!

You started a nonprofit to change lives, not to stay up at night worrying about payroll, the IRS, and HR fires. 😅 In this episode of Scrappy to Scalable, host Felipe Crook sits down with Janneh Wright, Founder & CEO of Primus Business Management, who has spent over 23 years helping nonprofits and community-driven organizations build real businesses that last. Janneh shares how 9/11 unexpectedly pushed him into entrepreneurship, why he chose to serve nonprofits and BIPOC communities, and how his 3C Framework — Compliance, Culture, Consistency — keeps organizations alive well past the typical 3–5 year “curse.” If you’re a nonprofit leader, founder, or community-driven small business owner, this conversation will help you think differently about money, people, structure, and even how to use AI without losing your mission. Janneh Wright is the Founder & CEO of Primus Business Management, a firm that delivers full-service accounting, HR, and operations support to nonprofits and small businesses. For decades, he’s been focused on economic empowerment in Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC) communities, helping mission-driven organizations survive, stabilize, and scale using his 3C Framework: Compliance, Culture & Consistency. 🌐 Website: primusco.com 📧 Email: [email protected]
