Operating Reserve Policy Toolkit for Nonprofit Organizations

This valuable resource will help you make a compelling case within your organization for the need to establish an operating reserve.

This toolkit was created to provide a resource to:

• help to make a compelling case within the organization for the need to establish an operating reserve
• provide factors to take into consideration in determining the size of the operating reserve for their organizations
• suggest practices for managing the reserve and reporting its balance
• offer some tools with which to go about drafting a policy to record decisions

Free to League members; available on-demand.

The Operating Reserve Policy Toolkit is sponsored by the National Center for Charitable Statistics, Center on Nonprofits and Philanthropy at the Urban Institute, and United Way Worldwide.
