This week the focus is on Money Matters for Boards - short solo episodes designed to help trustees lead with confidence, clarity, and calm in all things finance.
In today’s episode, Aishat starts at the heart of every charity: the connection between money and mission.
Too often, finance sits in the corner of the board agenda — it's the bit that makes everyone either sit up straight or quietly sink lower into their chair. But the truth is, finance isn’t separate from your charity's mission; it’s your charity's mission in action.
When boards treat money as everyone’s responsibility, they strengthen not just their balance sheets but their impact, credibility, and sustainability.
KEY TAKEAWAY
- Finance is mission in action. The way you manage money is how you deliver impact.
- Curiosity beats competence. You don’t need to be an accountant — just stay engaged and ask questions.
- Shared responsibility builds stronger boards. When everyone understands the numbers, everyone protects the mission.
BEST MOMENTS
“Your role isn’t to prepare the numbers; it’s to understand their meaning.”
“Small charities need the most financial awareness because they don’t have a safety net.”
“You don’t need to be an accountant — you just need to be curious.”
“If you believe in your cause, you must also believe in protecting its financial health.”
