Just one question this week and it’s massive! If we’re halfway through the fiscal year and we’re not going to come anywhere close to hitting our revenue targets, how should the board go about cutting expenses? Yikes! Stacey and Andy get to the bottom of it, but it took the whole episode. Happy New Year, thanks for listening and supporting us with your questions. We look forward to answering even more in 2026. P.S. Questions@NonprofitEverything.com is the email address.
Can the board request that no staff are present during board meetings? Stacey and Andy have the answer!

We asked Santa to send us questions to Questions@NonprofitEverything.com, so maybe you can help!?
Upcoming tax law changes mean that there could be a lot of unexpected gifts hitting before December 31st this year.

Is it possible to convince a resistant board that a merger is necessary to save the nonprofit from a “long, slow death?” Stacey and Andy have some thoughts.

When you’ve spent years crafting your vision for the successful nonprofit you’ve founded, how do you prevent future boards and leaders from screwing it all up?

Thanks for joining us this week, and don’t forget to (please) send your questions (thank you) to questions@NonprofitEverything.com. A Q&A podcast without any Qs wouldn’t make much sense, would it?
How should you respond when a board member prospect declines your offer? Is there anything to learn from that experience Join us this week as Stacey and Andy tackle that topic. Also, we talk about how small nonprofit shops get up to speed on all of the posssible planned giving options, and prove that we’re not above bribing people with the promise of a picture of a cat.
