When your nonprofit is just starting out, a budget is a critical tool to managing and growing your organization. Also: when to put out a post-event recap. Starting a new nonprofit can be exciting but, financially speaking, uncharted territory. “It’s easy when you’re just starting out—and you’re super excited about the future—to operate on a lot of hope,” says Sandy Rees in a post on Get Fully Funded.
