Nonprofit Reserves: What, Why, When, and How (Much?)
This webinar, recorded on July 30, 2025, was conducted by Propel Nonprofits and led by Allison Wagstrom. It was provided free to nonprofits.
Having a cash reserve fund is a goal for every nonprofit organization as a buffer for unexpected disruptions, emergencies, or delays in revenue. But there’s much more to consider, especially at a time when nonprofits need more flexibility than ever before. Whether you find yourself with more funds in the bank than expected, or holding your breath until the next payroll, understanding and planning reserve funds is timely. In this webinar, we dig into why reserves are valuable and for what purpose, ponder the perennial question of how much, and discuss some practical tools for managing and communications.
