Backoffice: The Foundation of Every Successful Nonprofit
Let’s Talk About Overhead
If you are a nonprofit leader, you know that your back office is imperative for organization success. Overhead practices such as up-to-date accounting, quarterly reports and annual filings, on-boarding and off-boarding of staff and volunteers, and compliance to ensure your ongoing nonprofit status may not be fun, but are essential to not only ongoing delivery of services, but also increasing organization capacity and impact.
And as a nonprofit leader, you also are keenly aware of the lack funding, resources, and support available to you for these essential overhead practices. Nonprofits are stuck in The Starvation Cycle. Leaders are perpetually expected do more with less, which sets unrealistic expectations. Meanwhile, program quality, oversight, and financial manipulation, cause long-term operational stability to decay.
