Financial sustainability and reserves planning for nonprofits

Challenge

Signs you need a financial sustainability plan

You live grant cycle to grant cycle with no reserves — one late payment or unexpected cost away from a crisis, and your board knows it.

What you'll achieve

A realistic reserves policy and a financial sustainability roadmap that gives your board and funders confidence in your long-term viability.

How a Nonprofit Builder consultant helps

Model your income and expenditure scenarios, facilitate a board discussion on risk appetite, and help you set a reserves target and a plan to reach it.

Key deliverables

Reserves policy, financial sustainability analysis, income and expenditure scenarios, board briefing paper, recommended action steps.
