  • Replacing Federal Funding

    Replacing Federal Funding
    2026/04/24

    It’s the one existential question that everyone has been asking for the last 12 months, and *finally* somebody asks Stacey and Andy! Now that federal funding has become unreliable, what are our other options?! Thanks for joining us as we try to tackle that one, as well as questions about paying volunteers as independent contractors, and whether grants should be written in third or first person (which was surprisingly contentious!) We really appreciate you, our listeners, especially when you send us your questions to questions@NonprofitEverything.com!
