Abstract: Walden University College of Management and Human Potential This is to certify that the doctoral study by Ebony S. Billups has been found to be complete and satisfactory in all respects, and that any and all revisions required by the review committee have been made. Review Committee Dr. Meridith Wentz, Committee Chairperson, Doctor of Business Administration Faculty Dr. Peter Anthony, Committee Member, Doctor of Business Administration Faculty Chief Academic Officer and Provost Sue Subocz, Ph.D. Walden University 2024 Some nonprofit leaders lack strategies for financial change management, resulting in long-term organizational health and sustainability challenges. Grounded in general systems theory, the purpose of this qualitative meta-analysis was to explore strategies that nonprofit organization leaders use to support financial change management in an organization for sustainability. Data were gathered through six previously approved Walden University doctoral studies that shared a thematic focus on sustainability and long-term organizational health through financial change management. Thematic analysis was used to analyze the data. The key themes that emerged were robust communication and stakeholder engagement, mission alignment and dedication, and the embodiment of a continuous improvement and learning culture within these organizations. A key recommendation is for nonprofit leaders to implement strategic planning methodologies and robust analytical frameworks to promote continuous improvement. The implications for positive social change include the potential for nonprofit leaders to create a competitive advantage, optimize available resources, promote sustainability, and expand growth.
