Fix Your Funding Part 1: Diagnose What’s Really Wrong With Your Nonprofit’s Financial Health
In this first episode of our three-part Fix Your Funding series on Changemaker Conversations, we dig into the financial crisis nonprofits are facing right now—and why “we just need more money” isn’t a clear enough diagnosis. From disappearing federal funds to shrinking corporate support and skyrocketing community need, we walk through how to get brutally honest about your organization’s financial health so you can protect what matters most: your nonprofit’s survival.
If you’re lying awake wondering how many payrolls you can cover, how to explain the situation to your board, or where to even start with the numbers, this episode will give you a simple framework and language to get everyone aligned around reality—and ready for action in parts two and three of this series.
Here’s what you’ll learn in this episode:
The four essential financial “gauges” every nonprofit should be tracking in a crisis
How to calculate and interpret your operating reserves (months of cash on hand)
Why your restricted vs. unrestricted revenue mix can quietly put your mission at risk
How to spot dangerous overreliance on any single funder or funding stream
A practical way to project your year-end surplus or deficit—before it’s too late
How to bring your board into the financial truth so they can actually help
