2025 and Beyond: Phased Action Guidance on Nonprofit Finance

2025 and Beyond: Phased Action Guidance on Nonprofit Finance
An NFC Series

This series of short papers on what to do, when, and why in the face of the turbulent operating environment of US nonprofits is intended to help you to not just survive but find strength in the challenges we must address with immediacy and purpose. The papers are meant to be phased, following the arc of what is occurring in this operating environment. They are not necessarily meant to advance resilience or sustainability in their current forms, but instead to advance effectiveness even under radically changing conditions. In that, they will be a mix of the strategic and the practical.

  1. 12 Urgent Financial Action Steps for Nonprofits: A 2025 Checklist
  2. A Three-Dimensional Approach to Revenue Planning
  3. A 3-Level Framework for Assessing Your Financial Risk
  4. A Simple Approach to Quickly Improving Board Financial Literacy
  5. Living Wills and Other Nonprofit Concerns in 2025: Notes on Retrenchment and Reconstruction

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.
