Fourth Quarter Strategies: Managing the Public Support Test When the Year-End Numbers Look Tight

Welcome to EO Radio Show – Your Nonprofit Legal Resource. I'm Cynthia Rowland, and this is episode 165 of EO Radio Show. Imagine this: it's the closing quarter of your fiscal year, and your development director just brought you some numbers that have you worried. That major gift you celebrated last spring was wonderful for the mission, but now you're wondering what it'll do to your public support test. Or maybe it's the opposite problem. The broad-based fundraising campaign fell short, and you're looking at a year where the math doesn't look as healthy as it used to. Today, we'll talk about what nonprofit leaders can actually do in the final months of a fiscal year when the public support test is keeping them up at night.
