About this episode
The episode discusses strategies for nonprofit boards to cut expenses when revenue targets are not met halfway through the fiscal year.
Just one question this week and it’s massive! If we’re halfway through the fiscal year and we’re not going to come anywhere close to hitting our revenue targets, how should the board go about cutting expenses? Yikes! Stacey and Andy get to the bottom of it, but it took the whole episode. Happy New Year, thanks for listening and supporting us with your questions. We look forward to answering even more in 2026.
