The full cost of running a nonprofit extends beyond annual operating expenses. It also includes an organization’s balance sheet needs.
We invite nonprofits and funders to use these six areas of resource needs for conversations about how best to contribute to operations and programs that support shared community goals.
- Total expenses: the day-to-day direct and indirect, program and overhead, and unfunded expenses holding you back.
- Working capital: cash to keep operations going strong, even when you’re waiting to get paid.
- Reserves: to navigate the unexpected, survive a crisis, or act on a new opportunity.
- Debt principal repayment: to pay back what’s been borrowed.
- Fixed asset additions: new equipment, buildings, and other fixed assets.
- Change capital: large, flexible dollars to reposition your business model.
