When the finance person shoots down your program idea because “it’s not in the budget,” what can you do?! There’s just one question this week, but it sounds like somebody is calling Andy out! And Stacey and Andy definitely have some thoughts! Thanks for joining us this week, and be sure to send your questions (and new sticker ideas) to questions@nonprofiteverything.com.
Wait, now a board member wants us to *not* run like a business? I’m so confused. But Stacey and Andy can help! Also this week, we talk about disengaged board members who refuse to step down, and what kinds of smart questions to ask when vetting bookkeepers and CPAs for your nonprofit. We really appreciate all our listeners (this Thanksgiving we’re thankful for you!) As always, send questions to Questions@NonprofitEverything.com.
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? Predictably, Stacy and Andy have a few thoughts. Also this week, we talk about whether or not fractional CFOs are a smart idea, and how they might be best used. 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?
It’s the Nonprofit Everything Podcast again! This week, we hear from a five-year-old nonprofit that is just realizing they may have bitten off more than they could chew! Sound familiar? Also, what happens when we completely distrust the previous finance person’s numbers? Andy and Stacey have some thoughts. And finally, are we allowed to apply for multiple grants to cover the exact same program? (Quick, can you answer this one faster than we can?)
You’ve got the mission, you’ve got the board, you’ve got the business plan, you’ve got the 510(c)3 letter, now what? Stacey and Andy have some thoughts. Also, we find out whether or not you need written board reports, and once again wade into the shark-infested waters of finance vs. development.
There’s just one big question this week: Are we wasting time generating reports and dashboards nobody ever looks at? And Guest Expert Jason Cho, of Prex Consulting has some ideas for Stacey!
Is there anything scarier than the finance person leaving? Yes, there definitely is (and Andy has some thoughts on how to manage the transition.) Also, we have some advice for a founder considering leaving but not really leaving, and Stacey has some great tips on how to make the periodic bylaw revision process not the absolute worst, most boring thing ever.
