Sybil Speaks: Cut Through the Red Tape of a Nonprofit’s Finances

This month's theme is about asking for only what you need from a nonprofit's budget and finances. Donors often ask for more than what's necessary and that creates busywork for the nonprofit, which can waste time and money. Sybil does not want this to happen to you. To avoid this potential pitfall, consider your donor identity, whether you're a sustainer, campaigner, or launcher donor and go through Sybil’s simple training that she offers in this episode so that you can ask the right questions, and get down to the business of answering only the most important budget and financial questions.

Episode Highlights:

• Know your donor identity in order to ask for the financial information you truly need

• Understand how to support the nonprofits in creating collaborative budgets that propel the issue you care about forward
