In 30 minutes, we'll scan our environment to chart a practical path forward as government operations resume. 3pm Eastern link here: https://www.skool.com/live/t39CB5bPGjC IMMEDIATE (72 Hours) - Federal Partner Check-ins: Direct outreach to program officers and grants administrators—confirm award status, payment timelines, delayed reporting requirements, and modification needs before agencies become overwhelmed with backlogs SHORT-TERM (30 Days) - Grant Opportunity Surge: Agencies will accelerate obligation cycles to clear backlogs—have Letters of Inquiry and proposals ready to capture delayed awards, supplemental appropriations, and emergency relief funding - Mission Continuity Documentation: Turn your shutdown resilience into competitive positioning—document how your organization maintained services, supported beneficiaries, and sustained community trust as evidence of operational strength for future funders STRATEGIC (90 Days) - Revenue Diversification Blueprint: Reduce dependency on any single federal source to 40% or less—develop sustainable mixed-revenue models incorporating federal/state/local grants, corporate partnerships, individual giving, and earned income streams - Sector Leadership Positioning: Organizations that delivered impact during the shutdown become trusted voices—publish lessons learned, best practices, and case studies to differentiate your nonprofit and open doors for speaking opportunities, partnerships, and strategic alliances SYSTEMIC (6–12 Months) - Build Structural Resilience: Establish 90–120 day operating reserves, cultivate multi-agency funding relationships, create a Shutdown Response Playbook, and implement quarterly scenario planning to ensure your mission is never this vulnerable again Tonight's Key Discussion Questions: - What's our advocacy strategy—are we reacting to shutdowns, or building systems that withstand them? - How do we message our resilience and continuity to current and prospective funders? - What's our 90-day action plan for diversifying revenue and strengthening organizational infrastructure?

YEAR-END FUNDRAISING - The 72-Hour Rule – 30% of annual giving happens in December. 10% happens in the last 3 days. If you're not planning now, you're leaving money on the table. - Gratitude Before the Ask – Steward existing donors first. A personal thank-you call or video this week can double your December conversion rate. - Tell One Story Well – Stop telling your entire mission. Pick one impact story, one life changed, one measurable win. Make it repeatable across every channel. - Recurring Revenue Wins – Monthly giving programs outlast one-time campaigns. Offer a simple "sustainer" option before year-end. TAX PLANNING FOR BUSINESSES - Q4 Estimated Payments Due Jan 15 – Don't get caught short. Review your liability now, not in December panic mode. - Accelerate Deductions – Prepay expenses, donate equipment, fund retirement accounts. Legal moves that lower taxable income before Dec 31. - Charitable Giving Strategy – Business owners: QCDs, DAFs, and in-kind contributions aren't just tax moves—they're legacy plays. EXPENSE MANAGEMENT & BUDGET DISCIPLINE - Audit What's Not Working – Cut subscriptions, renegotiate contracts, cancel what didn't move the mission forward. - Document Everything – Grants, compliance, audits—clean financials now save you thousands in Q1. - Set 2026 Baseline Early – Don't wait until January to budget. Lock in your operating model before the year turns.
