Listen Later

Most nonprofit leaders want more unrestricted revenue - but few have a strategy for building it.


In this episode, The Charity CFO’s Tosha Anderson and Aaron Landis explain why unrestricted funds are the true fuel behind nonprofit growth, stability, and innovation. Drawing on conversations with hundreds of CEOs and EDs, they highlight why organizations with the highest unrestricted percentages are often the most resilient and mission-aligned.


You’ll learn:

• Why unrestricted revenue is essential to scaling programs

• The risks of relying on restricted grants or government funding • How unrestricted dollars improve staffing, operations, and long-term planning

• How boards and CEOs can shift the fundraising mindset

• Practical ways to increase unrestricted support in your next budget cycle


A must-listen for CEOs, CFOs, development leaders, and board members serious about financial health.
