Hey friends and fellow nonprofit nerds! Get ready for a super fun and informative chat with my buddy Raj Thakkar.

\\n


\\n

You may know Raj as the founding genius behind FOREsight Financial Services for Good. But did you also know he\'s the author of a brand-new book called Fiscally Secure?! Raj knows his stuff when it comes to helping nonprofits get their financial ducks in a row. And let me tell you, it is WAY more interesting than it sounds. Who knew analytics could be so uplifting?

\\n


\\n

In this episode, we\'re talking all things budgeting, fundraising, and shaking that scarcity mindset! Raj shares his 10-step framework for getting \\u2013 and staying \\u2013 fiscally fit. I know it sounds intimidating but I promise it\\u2019s way more empowering than it is scary.

\\n


\\n

We also dive into creative ways to build revenue that don\\u2019t involve emptying your bank account. Hint: the answer isn\\u2019t always hiring expensive development pros! Sometimes the best solutions are right under our quirky nonprofit noses.

\\n


\\n

So pour yourself something fun (I\\u2019m drinking sparkling water with lime today!) and get ready to geek out on numbers. I promise you\\u2019ll be feeling inspired, not stressed, by the time our chat is done.

Sound like your kind of episode? Then click play! Let\\u2019s get fiscally secure together, friends.

\\u201cWhat I realized was there was actually a method to our madness and ended up calling it \\u201cThe Fiscal Responsibility Method\\u201d where there\'s ten components to responsible financial management in the way we define it.\\u201d - Raj Thakkar
