    I too am curious how others handle post-award reporting across finance, grants, and programme teams. A short survey could be useful for gathering practical experiences. It would also be interesting to hear what tools or processes organisations currently use.

    I’d probably use the actual manufacturing cost rather than the retail price. The retail price represents what the books might sell for, while the manufacturing cost reflects what the organisation actually spent. I’d still confirm the treatment with your accountant.

    Calculate your overhead rate (total annual overhead ÷ total billable hours). Add that to staff wages and direct costs (meals, rentals). That gives your break-even floor. Then compare with market rates and adjust for your mission.

    The new rules apply to nonprofits too. Starting in 2026, most employer-provided meals, including working lunches, are no longer deductible as a business expense.
    Yes, running it through payroll is the primary workaround. If the meal’s value is included in an employee’s taxable income and reported on their W-2, you can deduct it fully as compensation.

    Mark, great breakdown. The core theme: a windfall tests strategic maturity, not luck.

    Avoid the cliff. Treat it as growth capital to build systems and revenue streams that outlast the gift, not as a budget patch.

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.
