Fred is excited to join Sybil today to discuss budgets and finances. Donors often do a good job at asking for very specific and detailed project proposals but then fail to be equally specific in their financial and budget requests. They discuss how to focus your request for the nonprofit’s financial information that aligns with your proposal request. This way you won’t have the nonprofit doing busywork. It is crucial to carefully consider the financial stability and potential of a nonprofit before donating, but unnecessary to ask for too much irrelevant financial information that you may not even use in your actual decision to fund the organization.

Currently, John is a board member of The Right Question Institute.
