    Welcome! This is Ruth McCambrridge, a proud member of the team here at the new Nonprofit Financial Commons where we believe wholeheartedly in the deep wisdom and tested skill of nonprofit financial leaders. And we know that all of our knowledge is enriched by being able to consult peers in similar straits – that is why we built this platform. We believe in your wisdom and skill, by the way, because we watch what many of you do day to day. But we have also been in those leadership positions ourselves and we know how frustrating it is to have a bunch of prescriptions thrown at you as best practice when you know that the formula makes no sense in your context and for your organization.

    That is why, at every step, we , at the financial commons will ask you what exactly you need and what you know. In this case, we are asking for any questions you may have foor our panelists at our webinar on reserves on Thursday. If you have none yet, don’t worry! We will ask again. and now you can go on to the next area where we ask you about your experience with your use of reserves during the pandemic.

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

Nonprofit GPS is a new, action-based community designed to help nonprofits navigate today’s disrupted revenue landscape. Built in consultation with organizations nationwide, it focuses on the real financial challenges nonprofits face — business model risks, capital management, budgeting, governance, and more. 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.

Join a space designed to foster support, inclusivity, and respect for every voice.
