    We are going to be hosting an online event on October 27th which is on this issue of nonprofit reserves – the reality show. Among our speakers will be Jeanne Larson who is a part of this community and who runs the Northern Dental Access Center. She has an enormously interesting story to tell about the way her organization repositioned itself during the pandemic – a job still in progress. The story is one of snatching opportunity from crisis in a way that only builds the community’s strength and self reliance.

    We are also thrilled to be able to present Thad Calabrese, one of the country’s most foremost researchers on this topic who has real insights into the complete capital structures of nonprofits, and Hilda Polanco of BDO/FMA whose hands on understanding about the ways in which reserves are accumulated and used is probably unmatched.

    We will send you a save the date later in the week. and meanwhile post your reserves story here if you have not already done so.

On October 8, 2025, Join Us for a National Town Hall on the Financial State of the Nonprofit Sector

Together, we’ll share practical strategies and highlight bright spots of practice that strengthen missions, even in the most disruptive times.

At this event you will hear: an analysis of the current economic landscape for nonprofits and the implications for practice; what array of critical new resources will be offered by Nonprofit GPS over the next three months and beyond; and how to become involved as a practice leader in this community.
