A strong nonprofit reforecast helps your board make decisions with confidence.

Most boards are trying to get to one answer: Can we trust the plan for the rest of the year?

If you want your nonprofit reforecast to land, build it around the questions they’ll ask:
- Budget vs. actual, with a narrative (what moved and why)
- Fund-aware reality (restricted vs. unrestricted—what’s flexible and what isn’t)
- Cash runway (how long you can operate, and what timing risks change it)
- Decisions needed (so the meeting ends in alignment, not “we’ll monitor”)

A simple checklist to use this month:
✓ Highlight only the few variances that matter (not every line)
✓ Explain each variance in plain language: Variance → Driver → Action
✓ Add a fund-aware view (restricted vs. unrestricted), so “fine on paper” doesn’t hide constraints
✓ Make cash runway explicit (90–180 days) and define trigger points: “If runway drops below X months, we will do Y”
✓ End with a Decisions Needed page (what you need approved + why now + impact)

We put together a more detailed outline (plus examples you can mirror in your next board package) here 👉
